Creating a dedicated relaxation meditation room is an excellent way to enhance mindfulness, reduce stress, and promote overall well-being. A growing number of our clients are embracing yoga and meditation for both mental and physical health benefits, and having a tranquil space designed for these practices is becoming increasingly popular.
There are benefits to a dedicated Yoga and Meditation Room, rather than just making space in your living room! A well-designed yoga room provides a peaceful retreat where individuals can practice meditation, deep breathing, and yoga exercises without distractions.
Location and Atmosphere
For most of our clients, the garden is the perfect place for a relaxation meditation room. A quiet, private area tucked away in the corner of the garden with minimal distractions will ensure an immersive experience. Natural lighting, calming colours, and proper ventilation contribute to the ambiance, making the space more conducive to relaxation.
Pod Space Essential Elements for a Yoga and Meditation Room
A successful yoga room is more than just a space; it’s an experience. Personalising the environment with elements that resonate with individual preferences is essential.
Natural Elements
Incorporating nature into the yoga breathing room adds to its serenity. Wide format glazing helps to link you up with the outdoors and be at one with nature during your yoga routine. Add in indoor plants such as peace lilies, or bamboo palms to help purify the air while promoting relaxation
Multi-Sensory Engagement
Aromatherapy diffusers, soft instrumental music, and textured rugs or mats enhance the sensory experience, making a yoga fitness room more inviting. According to a study by the Journal of Environmental Psychology, exposure to nature-based elements can improve relaxation and cognitive function.
Personalised Touches
We’ll work with you on the design so if you plan to install wall art or a mirror, we’ll make sure everything is planned out in advance. Positioning of interior furnishings can also help create the right environment for a relaxation meditation room so our architectural designers will plan out your furnishings as part of our design service.
Smart Lighting and Sound Systems
We can include smart technologies to link your lighting and heating to a remote app to enable you to have full control of your Yoga space. Add in a sound system to your data point, and you have the perfect set up for distraction-free session.
Air Quality and Temperature Control
Maintaining proper air quality within a yoga breathing room is essential. Underfloor heating is included on a fully programmable thermostat, or you could add in an air to air heat pump for the benefit of summer cooling.
Home Meditation Spaces
For many of our garden room clients, their building is multi-purpose. Not only is it a design asset for their landscaping, it creates a new space for a multitude of family activities – work, relaxation, exercise, yoga. Having a dedicated space that can be adaptable as needs change and families grow is the perfect solution.
Corporate Wellness Initiatives
Businesses are also recognising the benefits of dedicated wellness spaces. Providing employees with a yoga fitness room encourages physical activity, reduces burnout, and enhances overall workplace well-being. Our project for Unilever is one such example of an employer providing a wellness space.
