The SO HUM Tradition

RootBreath's sound design is rooted in the SO HUM mantra of the Himalayan tradition — 'SO' on the inhale, 'HUM' on the exhale, meaning 'I am that'. These techniques were taught to me by Master Kamal of KriYoga during my 200-hour training. The app brings this ancient practice to anyone with a smartphone — completely free.
