The concept of Kintsugi promotes that brokenness can reveal an expanded sense of wholeness. It is this journey of mindfulness by acceptance that reminds people of how beautiful they are to discover deeper values of self-worth.
Kintsugi 金継ぎ– The art of Precious Scars Golden Joinery “Kin” means gold, and “Tsugi” is “Joinery”. The studio is built on the concepts behind the Japanese art of Kintsugi (or golden joinery) – where broken ceramic ware is lined with gold to make it look more beautiful. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
This Japanese themed yoga studioaims to be the home to people who would like to “fix” themselves using yoga, meditation and mindfulness. It is a space to heal, let go and truly rejuvenate and relax through acceptance.
GM of Kintsugi, Anjaan says: “Kintsugi yoga studio is built on the ideology that if something is broken or perceived as flawed – it should be seen as beautiful. We help our students to find the strength in
vulnerabilities and the beauty in brokenness”.
Their pièce de résistance of the studio is the signature Himalayan salt room. This room has entire walls built from pink Himalayan salt bricks.They also have a Halo generator which is a device that grinds salt into aerosol particles and releases them into the air of the room.
The ancient and therapeutic practice of salt therapyis a natural treatment. The unrefined rock salt is derived from evaporated ancient lakes and seas and sourced from deep underground caverns and is used to promote healthier skin, sounder sleep, improved physical fitness and overall wellness.
The “Zen” Salt Room is a therapeutic and healing space. All classes here are gentle classes. In this room, we get the benefits of Salt Therapy and Yoga together.
