From garage to yoga shala

The Breathing Space was born out of friendship and a love and deep respect for yoga. The intention was to create a place that reflects the strength, simplicity, and beauty of yoga in an environment that feels like home, a feeling we all long for in our own bodies. The Breathing Space was originally founded in 2017 by Lana Beex and Mercedes Parellada.

The space is lush and alive – an oasis of greenery and natural wood. With our own hands, together with a team of talented creatives – and help from loved ones – this former automobile repair garage was transformed into a welcoming haven, sheltered from the bustle of city life. High ceilings and large windows allow in lots of natural light and a view of the garden; and eco-friendly cork floors and floor heating keep you comfortably warm even on the coldest days. There are also toilets with warm tiled floors with everything you need to freshen up after class, private changing cabins, and wooden cupboards to store your valuables. There is plenty of room for 25 students and a high quality yoga mat to practice on, blankets, bolsters, blocks, belts, and eye pillows are all available for you. You are also welcome to store your own personal mat here at the studio if there is space in the designated area (no mat bags, please!).

Enjoy a warm cup of tea before or after class and read through a book from our small collection. There is also a small boutique offering a few eco-friendly yoga essentials and branded clothing.
