Sohum Wellness Sanctuary: Full Body Quiet

They say fashion tells a story, but for Dina Yassin,…

You step in from Al Quoz and the city drops its shoulders. Sohum Wellness Sanctuary isn’t a place to perform wellness. It’s a place to arrive. Founder Tanya Mansotra built it that way on purpose, after watching high achievers win on paper and feel empty in private. She wanted a room where people could stop doing and start being, where healing lives in the day, not the calendar.

Ayurveda sits at the center, not as a trend but as a language that speaks to the body before the mind. Mansotra pairs ancient methods with modern practice without friction, guided by intention rather than novelty. Depth from lineage, access from contemporary tools. The measure is honesty. If it doesn’t serve, it doesn’t stay.

Through winter, Dubai runs fast. December crowds the senses and January pretends to fix it. Sohum offers a counter rhythm. The sanctuary is intimate by design, because quiet work is often invisible. A softer breath. A release you feel more than you show. Progress here is internal and private, protected by boundaries that let the nervous system rest.

The menu mirrors the philosophy. You’ll find Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Pinda Sweda, Kati Basti, and Mukha Abhyanga, alongside Thai, Balinese, Swedish, and deep tissue massage. There is Hatha, Vinyasa, Kundalini, Reiki, crystal work, sound healing, and breath practice. Facilities include calm treatment rooms, plunge pools, and saunas that reset the tempo. It reads like range, but the destination is one thing: balance.

Sound and breath carry a lot of the weight here. Mansotra chooses them because language often gets in the way. These tools bypass the story and speak to the wiring. In a culture of screens and noise, people don’t only want ideas about peace. They want their body to feel safe again.

Sohum Café is vegan and pet-friendly. That detail sounds small until you see what it does to the room. Animals soften people. They lower the guard and widen the sense of belonging. Healing happens when you feel held, not watched. That is the stance across the sanctuary.

Mansotra protects her own center with a simple ritual stack: Silence. Movement. Nature. Boundaries. Gratitude. No flourish. Just practices that keep the vessel steady enough to hold space for others. It’s the kind of leadership that doesn’t need a microphone because the room can feel it.

If you go, arrive with one intention. Return to yourself. Create space for stillness. Trust the present. Walk out with a practice you can repeat without props or performance. Mansotra’s wish for the year is clear: leave with a deeper relationship to your own calm. That’s the luxury here. Not a product. A capacity.
