Our

B.Yoga's studio is located in the former DEISS Shoe shop old house standing in one of the corners of the Basel Marktplatz, floating on the 4th. floor and facing the beautiful City Hall known as the Red House. B.Yoga had its hub in an upper floor, but after 4 years we came to a space limit. the possibility of renewing the floor below us was already a dream in Daniela’s mind. The 4th. floor used to house the DEISS Shoe Shop Stock Warehouse and had the advantage of being completely open and no walls, this characteristic could allow her to design a space specially designed and tailored for the yoga practice.
Daniela -B.Yoga’s creative director- envisioned and conceptualised the new studio project. The project was realised together with the support and magic of the interior designers Jens Müller & Stephanie Rossi, who materialised and detailed Daniela’s vision, as well as Burkhardt Immobilien, the real state company in charge of the DEISS House. Our new studio celebrates B.Yoga’s 10th anniversary, it includes a brand new front desk/reception island & self service café, a spacious open lounge area to sit, chill, connect or enjoy the view through the windows to the Marktplatz. Two yoga rooms equipped with a mobile wall which allows them to be combined into one big yoga room, a therapy room, changing rooms with lockers for women & men, toilettes, showers & a yoga boutique.
The house has a top floor terrace in which we offer outdoor classes as part of our yearly Summer Program.

Yoga 2 room provides an intimate atmosphere due to its smaller size. it’s shape is longer, with one window and the very end.

This room is ideal for cozier classes like the Prenatal & Postnatal programs, as well as smaller groups like which require special attention like the Beginners Program & the Teacher Training. It can host between 16 to 20 practitioners.
