An oasis of calm and concentration.
Yoga primarily focuses on the (re)unification of body, mind and soul. The holistic approach is also reflected in the architecture of the largest and most widely respected Yoga center in North America. The unadorned and selected integration of authentic and discreet materials such as exposed concrete and natural cypress wood allows guests to focus on the essentials and also creates an atmosphere of simple, almost ascetic beauty. Large glass surfaces create a visual connection to the
surrounding forest landscape – the intensity of which can be individually regulated with the wooden louvered sliding shutters.
