Yoga has unlimited benefits for the body, mind, and spirit for the practicing yogi. And for those who lead hectic lives with schedules bursting at the seams, yoga is a great way to center one’s self. But with those same crazy schedules, it may be hard for some to escape away to the studio for an hour or so. And one reason the trend of home yoga/meditation rooms is growing and becoming a standard fixture in some upscale homes.
Oh to have a built-in yoga studio at home, a designated place to take care of “me”. Lots of homeowner yoga practitioners are making that step and creating the amazing high end yoga rooms like these:
Convertible Floor - Bunk Beds to Flat Studio Floor
This amazing space is a 600 sf green building that doubles as a guest house and yoga studio. The flooring converts to bunks by the use of openings that reveal beds stashed beneath the studio floor.
Floating Yoga Room
A “floating” yoga room sits on top of the infinity pool in this luxurious residence. Rejuvenate after your asanas with a dip in the water.
Upscale Yoga
High-end yoga room with architectural lighting and luxurious materials is part of the home remodel by Valverde Design.
Modern Shed Yoga
No extra space in the house? Work on your tree pose in a customizable Modern Shed.
Although these yoga studios are amazing, you don’t need to completely revamp your house to create a personal yoga room. Here are some tips for carving out your own dedicated yoga space in your home:
- Make your yoga space one where you want to hang out. Make sure it’s a quiet space with enough room for your mat and for you to be able to move around in all directions.
- Use a divider of some sort such as a decorative screen to separate your yoga space from the rest of the room.
- Keep clutter away from this space to eliminate distractions. Use baskets to store towels, mats, yoga bricks, straps, essential oils, etc.
- Use light, soothing colors to maintain a peaceful, calming space.
A dedicated yoga space in your home is a place to exercise, relax and escape. Do you practice yoga at home? Have you created a special place just for your practice? Namaste.
