Nithya Priyan School of Yoga Chinatown

Welcome to Nithya Priyan School of Yoga, a sanctuary for learning yoga asana & philosophy, and a community home away from home for its members. Priyan relocated his flagship Chinatown location, a few hundred meters away from the original yoga studio. The spacious new studio features two levels. The first level yoga studio is an intimate space - it is designed very similar to the Anchorpoint sister location. The real magic is the 2nd level yoga studio, which is the top level of the shophouse. Working together with Priyan & our lighting team, we specified indirect cove lighting, throwing the light onto the high, white ceilings to illuminate the space. The result is a perfectly bright studio, with zero glare or harsh downlighting that cause shadows or visual discomfort. This is of utmost importance, especially when lying down on the mats for the final relaxation portion of a yoga class. Similar to the Anchorpoint Studio, Priyan requested for the same smart lighting dimming solution, which allows instructors to dim the levels of light during the class from a smartphone. The different light levels serve different purposes throughout the journey of the class, from an energising bright light during peak poses, to the near darkness of final resting pose.
