ChromaYoga has opened a 50sq m (538sq ft) studio that combines colour therapy, soundscapes and bespoke scents with the aim of creating "an immersive, sensory experience" not yet seen before.

The business describes itself as the "UK's only multi-sensory yoga studio", with sessions bathed in colours that affect physical and emotional health. Tones of red, orange, yellow, blue or pink light help instructors guide the class through a set of sequences, designed around the healing properties of that colour.

In collaboration with London scent maker Asakala, ChromaYoga has developed essential oils to correspond with each colour. The scents are used to drive energy, aid breathing, release muscle tension and encourage relaxation.

Sessions are also accompanied by sounds for different states of consciousness.

Classes at the studio in Shoreditch, London, each hold 20 people, with 30 sessions available each week. Each class ranges from £14-£18 (US$17.50-US$22.50, €16.50-€21.20), with five, 10, 15 or 20 class passes available.

Nina Ryner, founder, said: "With this combination of unique ancient practices, ChromaYoga will revolutionise the modern yoga experience.

"Our classes combine monochromatic light, soundscapes and bespoke scent which have been designed to improve physical and emotional health. We use current research into the ways in which light can be utilised to improve sleep quality and mood, increase energy and aid muscle recovery.

"Our soundscapes include frequencies designed to induce a relaxed, lucid state and when combined with our bespoke scents, this trinity of sensory experiences creates a revolutionary approach to the modern yoga practice not yet seen before."
