A self-help studio marketing itself as a "first-of-its-kind self-development wellness space" will open in the heart of London in March 2020.

The House of Wisdom (HOW) will focus on empowering the mind and body through talks and workshops, aiming to help visitors "deconstruct limiting beliefs and reconnect with their inner power".

The design of the 2,500sq ft space is based on providing a multi-sensorial wellness sanctuary and has been inspired by artists such as James Turrell and Olafur Elliason. The studio employs emotive lighting and calming colour palettes to provoke "immediate relaxation through the activation of alpha brain waves".

Classes are offered in a range of disciplines – from movement (including three types of yoga, tai chi and capoeira) to mindfulness, breathing and relaxation.

The studio will offer annual memberships with unlimited access to classes for £1,000.

There will also be the option of attending drop-in classes, pridced from £22. Packages are also available – such as a 10-session package for £188.

HOW was founded by five individuals – Luca Maggiora, Cristina Garces, Stephanie Reynolds, Giacomo Favero and Federica Ferro.

"We were on separate journeys of self-discovery, when we converged and decided we wanted to share what we had learned," the founders said in a statement.

"The concept was born out of our collective dedication towards creating a space where people could gather to develop and explore techniques for making positive changes in their own lives.

“Our commitment is to creating a space that empowers the people in its community to be the very best version of themselves; helping them to discover self-awareness and explore a deeper sense of wellbeing.”

HOW's holistic offering also includes a healthy cafe, where the ethos of ancient healing for
modern living extends across the selection of healthy snacks and adaptogenic-infused
smoothies.
