Soham Academy of Human Excellence
At Soham we do not miss an opportunity to participate in any of the yoga competitions. Without much loss of humility, we are also very proud to say that we do not come back empty handed. 8 of our kids, 4 boys and 4 girls participated in a yoga competition organized by Telangana Yoga Cultural Association in SR Nagar in Hyderabad.
Soham Champs program was kicked off with simultaneous projects at six schools on June 24, 2019. We recently concluded Practical Robotics training at two Amberpet Schools on July 19, 2019. The very next day, on July 20, 2019, we concluded our Yoga training at two schools in Sitaphalmandi – Sitaphalmandi Government High School and Vedic Vidyalayam. Kids showed tremendous interest at both the schools.
On July 20, we assembled kids from both the schools at Vedic Vidyalayam. Our Yoga gurus Viganatha, Bharat and Anil swung into action. They prepared a number of chits for the visitors to pick up from. A chance was given to each of the schools to perform the asana that was written on the chit.

Our visit to Microsoft Hyderabad campus on 2019 International Yoga Day is one of the most thrilling experiences ever for our kids. We wanted to give a corporate experience to all our kids who perform extraordinary yoga asanas. Our kids gave public performances at many places including iFocus, Necklace Road, Amberpet Grounds, JNTU, and WellTech foundation event at Necklace Road. But going to a corporate setup and performing yoga in front their elite staff is a whole new experience altogether for our kids. The last time we stepped into Microsoft Hyderabad Office was in Nov, 14, 2017. It was a very special experience too. Last time our kids learnt a lot about virtual reality and other cool things. But now, it was time for our younger ones to teach them something that they would never expect to learn from kids – the possibility of bending their bodies in unimaginable ways.
Our presence at big venues on International Yoga Day started last year with a program at JNTU on June 21, 2018 and a day earlier at Amberpet grounds. Eminent citizens from the region including current and past union ministers Sri Kishan Reddy and Sri Bandaru Dattatreya and others watched our performance at Amberpet. Yoga guru Sri Jagan Guruji, past Malkajgiri MP Sri C Mallareddy and retired IPS officer Sri VV Laxminarayana were among others who witnessed performance of our kids on at JNTU. The tradition continued this year.
Last year during the Love Yoga Foundation event, many of our kids were on TV as they were walking along with a large flag of India. They were thrilled to see themselves on TV. We were also in the newspapers for our yoga performances. But, a TV channel, that too Doordarshan Yadagiri, visiting us and requesting for our help on an exclusive show on our success in Yoga, is totally unprecedented for us. We agreed gladly and prepared our kids for the same.
