Yogastudio yellow yoga

In January 2019 we were looking for a new space to enjoy yoga classes with all of you. Our search ended at this beautiful old building, in the heart of Groningen. At the time, the yellow yoga studio wasn’t much more than an old garage were, bikes, tires and old building materials were stored. It had an unattractive grey floor with stains and holes. The concrete ceiling made it all even less ‘relaxing’. We took it upon ourselves (together with fantastic help, thank you all for that!) to remodel this sort of garage space into the beautiful natural ambiance yogastudio it is right now. It took around 8 weeks, with day and night work (and lots of fun) to get there in time. In March 2019 we opened our doors to meet all of you (again).

We turned the grey floor to a light wooden one that gives the surroundings a warm feeling. Most of the walls were painted white again and the others got a nice splash of yellow and green/blue (for the ones wondering; name of the yellow color is ‘kaas’ (cheese in English) and ‘camelot’ for the green/blue-ish tint). For the ceiling we used frames over which canvas is stretched. Behind these frames is the lighting that adds to the soft, natural feel of the studio. In the process we have been taking environment into account by using mainly materials certified, organic and or are very long lasting. The shelves are bamboo or left-over wooden floor parts. Eco-friendly and certified wood has been used for the frames. The left over parts of the frames have been used to build the mat storage.

This eco-friendly mindset has also been put to work in our choices we made for our yoga materials such as blocks & mats. The blocks are cork, very durable and natural material. Because the mats will be used in a high intensity, we chose to use a material that can endure this and be long lasting at the same time. They also have been produced in Europe, closer to home.
