OUR PRINCIPLES
SERENITY
ŌHIA is a calm and peaceful environment. In our space, we are all united by the sound of silence.
POSITIVITY
Life is a celebration—filled with fun and abundant in love. Everyone is responsible for the energy that flows through our space. We treat each other in positive and empathic ways.
SPIRITUALITY
Whether in the form of a story, quote, poem, or mantra, we design each class around a specific spiritual teaching or theme. Through spiritual input, we establish unique learning experiences to guide you on your individual path to inner peace and empower you to integrate your practice into your everyday life.
INCLUSIVENESS
Spirituality knows no hierarchy. Our guests and teachers foster an environment of openness and mutual respect. You are welcome here regardless of your experience level or where you are on your path to inner peace.
OPEN-MINDEDNESS
Our non-dogmatic approach means that we do not follow any specific tradition, religion, or school of thought. We utilise spiritual teachings and practices, not as universal remedies, but as tools to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves.
OUR CODE OF CONDUCT
We strive to create a unique experience for everyone. To make this possible, please:
Switch your phone into flight mode when checking in, and leave it in a locker or the changing room.
Arrive at the studio 15 min before the class starts to ensure you can be checked in. Be ready and changed in front of the class room door no later than 5 minutes before the class starts, and enter the room when the teacher formally lets you.
Once a class has begun, and the door is closed, you will no longer be allowed to enter.
Be respectful of our quiet zones (especially in front of classrooms). For safety reasons please leave our tea cups at the front in the community area and do not take them into classes/changing rooms etc. You can bring your own water bottle, if you need to drink during class.
If you must leave class early for any reason, let the teacher know ahead of time. This is important to prevent them from thinking that something is wrong.
Only take 1 towel each. Find out about our quest to care for the environment here.
- At ŌHIA, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and optimising our efficiency.
- To ensure we can uphold our promise to our planet, we kindly ask that you only use one towel each.
- By 2050, the ocean will contain more plastic than fish. Thus, we refrain from selling plastic water bottles and provide you with fresh water from our LEOGANT filters instead. Bring your own bottle or buy a BPA-free ŌHIA bottle—you can refill either as many times as you wish.
- Shower quickly—if everyone rinses off in 5 minutes, we not only respect each other’s time, but we also save water collectively.
- Sustainability was a key priority in the design and creation of ŌHIA, informing every element from architectural considerations to our selection of collaborators. The furniture in our space originates from Berlin design studio NUTSANDWOODS, who embed environmental sensitivity throughout their entire production process. Beyond responsible sourcing and preservation of local and natural materials, longevity is inherent in the reduced forms and modularity of the studio’s pieces, lending their evolving collection a resolute timelessness.
Shower quickly–if everyone rinses off in 5 minutes, we not only respect each other’s time, but we also save water collectively.
Thank you,
Your ŌHIA Team
