How to set up a mini yoga studio: peace, space and balance

Dreaming of your own yoga studio at home or in a compact space? Good news: you don't need a large room to create a place of peace and focus. With the right choices, you can transform even a small room into a functional and serene yoga space.

Choose the right space
A quiet place with sufficient daylight is ideal. Think of a guest room, attic, conservatory or a quiet corner in the living room. Make sure that you can roll out at least one yoga mat completely with some freedom of movement around it.

Minimalism works best
Less is more. A clean, calm look helps you focus. Use neutral colors, natural materials, and soft lighting. A mirror, a plant, or a soothing piece of art can complete the space.

Essential equipment
Invest in quality basic items:

• Yoga mat(s) with good grip

• Yoga blocks and straps for support

• Meditation cushions or bolsters for extra comfort

• Storage furniture or baskets to keep the space tidy

Create a personal place
A small altar with a candle, incense sticks or an inspiring quote helps to really make the space your own. It contributes to your ritual and concentration.

Extra tip: ensure ventilation
Fresh air is important. Open a window or place an air purifying plant such as a sansevieria or peace lily.
