Heritage Open Day: Vishuddha is a modern, purpose-built, award winning yoga centre in a beautiful Thames-side setting offering free
yoga classes or just a wander round and chat. This purpose-built yoga centre is built on the principles underlying yoga itself. The Centre opened in 2022 and has since received an OPT Green award, RIBA southern area award, and a ‘highly commended’ Civic Trust Award. In their commentary, these architectural awards have emphasised how the design helps bring us back to ourselves and a connection with community as well as promoting contentment and conservation rather than consumption.
The building is a welcoming space and uses low carbon energy approaches, to avoid the use of gas heating.
