With a motto, "Health is a lifelong journey, not a destination," Akasha Wellness Bangkok, a wellness studio on Charwon Nakhon Road in Thon Buri, Bangkok, aims to bring a holistic and sustainable approach to wellness to individuals' busy lifestyles. The wellness model has evolved over time and now focuses on continual improvement rather than a specific destination. At Akasha, the focus is on making purposeful, incremental changes to one's daily routine that ultimately lead to better health and care for one's future self.
Pamela 'Akasha' Kaur, the founder of Akasha Wellness Bangkok, is on a mission to provide a haven for those seeking a holistic approach to wellness, creating a space where people can find a sense of balance and mindfulness. Her studio was born out of a desire to fill a gap in the market for a wholesome, inclusive and welcoming community.
This studio is built on 607 square metres of land with a reception area, yoga and pilates studios, a meditation room, a sauna, outdoor space for yoga in the garden classes, and a bakery/café. It has a green space inspired by rural European villages with various trees and plants. The design connects all the rooms and spaces and minimises the scale of the hardscape while creating a lush green area visible from all rooms. A water feature is added to drown out the noise from the street. The garden has three courtyards, a lotus pond, and a waterfall in the centre garden. The second garden has an expansive travertine stone floor surrounded by towering trees and climbing plants. The third garden is near the entrance of the Safran Café, with various Instagram-worthy spots like the garden with outdoor seating areas. The front of the shop is decorated with flowering plants, terracotta pots, and garden sculptures, providing an overall mood that blends nicely with the building's design.
Not only does Akasha Wellness Bangkok offer a serene space and atmosphere for regulars and visitors, but also a variety of therapy programmes and classes. Guests can choose from yoga, pilates, mobility workshops and sound healing.
The yoga menu provides clients with an array of class options to choose from. Clients can select one of the three programmes offered, including Kundalini Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga + Flow Yoga, and Hatha Yoga. Each programme has its own unique benefits, and clients can choose the one that best suits their needs. Kundalini Yoga helps to awaken energy and promote spiritual growth, while Vinyasa Yoga + Flow Yoga focuses on movements that flow smoothly from one pose to the next, improving flexibility and strength. On the other hand, Hatha Yoga emphasises physical postures and breathing exercises to help calm the mind and improve overall health.
The Pilates menu is designed to meet clients' unique fitness needs and preferences. It provides three distinct classes to choose from. These programmes are designed to cater to different fitness levels and goals. The Classic Mat Pilates programme focuses on building core strength and increasing flexibility through various exercises performed on a mat. The Classic Reformer Pilates programme uses a specialised machine called a reformer to add resistance to the movements, resulting in a more challenging workout that targets specific muscle groups. Finally, the Reform + Cardio Pilates programme combines reformer exercises with cardio movements to create a full-body workout that builds strength and burns calories. Clients can choose the programme that best suits their needs and goals, and our expert instructors will guide them through each session to ensure they get the most out of their Pilates experience.
The mobility workshops menu currently offers the Mobility + Flow workshop, which helps improve your range of motion, flexibility, and balance. It is designed to help you move more freely and with ease. Additionally, a new workshop called the Office Syndrome Workshop is under development and will be available soon. This workshop will address the negative impacts of prolonged sitting and sedentary behaviour, commonly known as "office syndrome." It will provide techniques and exercises to help alleviate discomfort and pain caused by prolonged sitting and improve overall well-being.
The sound healing menu offers a range of therapeutic experiences designed to promote relaxation and rejuvenation. These include Gong Sound Bath, which uses the soothing vibrations of a gong to ease tension and release stress; Crystal + Singing Bowl Sound Healing, which uses the harmonious sounds of crystal and metal bowls to balance the body's energy centres; Guided Meditation, which helps to quiet the mind and promote a sense of inner peace; and Shakti Sound Bath + Gong Nidra, a more immersive experience that combines a sound bath with guided relaxation techniques to help you achieve a deep state of relaxation. These therapies are designed to promote physical and emotional well-being and can be tailored to meet guests' needs and preferences.
Those who seek privacy can experience any class on the menu through private training.
Another service Akasha Wellness Bangkok provides is the Himalayan Salt Sauna, which uses pure Himalayan salt rocks as the heat source. These salt rocks are known for their high mineral content, which is released when heated. As the salt heats up, it releases negative ions that help purify the air and improve breathing. These negative ions also relax the body and mind, promoting a sense of calm and reducing stress and anxiety.
At Akasha Wellness Bangkok, guests will find a serene and welcoming environment dedicated to helping them achieve a sense of balance and harmony. Whether seeking to cleanse their minds and souls or simply looking to relax and unwind, Akasha Wellness Bangkok's experienced team of professionals guides them every step of the way. From personalised wellness programmes and rejuvenating treatments to holistic activities, the studio offers a comprehensive range of services designed to help you feel your best inside and out.
