There are moments when the world feels especially loud. When fear ripples through families and communities. When images and stories—of children detained, families separated, masked agents moving through neighborhoods—land not just in our minds, but in our bodies.

Peeling Back the Layers

Lately, I’ve been dreaming about floors and ceilings.

In these dreams, I’m carefully removing old drop ceilings and worn layers of flooring—laminate, misplaced marble tiles, coverings that were once useful but no longer true. Beneath them, I discover something beautiful and strong: exposed beams overhead and solid wood floors below. Nothing new had to be built. The beauty was already there. It simply needed to be revealed.

This, I’ve realized, is the story of So Hum.

New Year, New Momentum at So Hum Yoga Studio

As we step into the New Year, So Hum Yoga Studio is stretching into a season of growth, movement, and possibility. According to the lunar calendar, we’re entering the Year of the Horse—a symbol of vitality, forward motion, freedom, and heart-led momentum. And thanks to Joanelle, our unofficial (but deeply trusted) wordsmith, our phrase for the year is loud and clear:

Giddy up!

Starting your year without a clear vision can feel like wandering through fog. At So Hum Yoga, we’ve found that setting intentions through a vision board gently guides you back to yourself and your purpose. This simple, creative act grounds your heart and mind, weaving your hopes into something tangible within our Grand Rapids community. Let’s explore why a vision board can be the steady first step toward a year filled with meaning and connection.

Christmas Eve feels like a threshold.
A pause between what has been and what is quietly arranging itself beneath the surface.

Here at So Hum, we are standing in that in-between space—gearing up for a season of thoughtful transformation. Not the kind driven by urgency or reinvention for its own sake, but the kind that comes from listening closely and responding honestly.

The holiday season often feels like a whirlwind of noise and to-do lists, leaving little room to simply be. What if you could find a quiet place inside yourself—a yoga sanctuary where presence and peace greet you like an old friend? At So Hum Yoga in Grand Rapids, holiday yoga isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about gathering with a community that helps you slow down, breathe deep, and savor mindful holidays through gentle movement and seasonal self-care.
