The Breathing Space

In the heart of de Baarsjes at The Breathing Space we offer Ashtanga, Mysore and classical Vinyasa y
(1)

We believe in honest traditional teaching methods that have stood the test of time. Our ambition is to encourage and support every student in their yoga practice as a path to self-discovery and self-empowerment. A practice that goes beyond the mat and beyond the physical. And just like yoga was passed on thousands of years ago, we respect and honour the long term relationship between teacher and student.

This October 2–6, The Breathing Space is honored to host Peg Mulqueen.

Peg is one of those rare teachers who combines strength, wisdom, and deep compassion. She listens, she sees you, and she helps you find new ways into your practice. Nearly 20 years ago, when I was a new teacher, Peg was someone I looked to for advice and a listening ear — and I still do.

During her visit, there will be Mysore practice each day plus 3 playful, informative workshops designed to leave you feeling more confident and inspired.

Don’t miss this opportunity. ✨

“Bit by bit, day by day, things started to shift — not just on the mat, but everywhere.”

One of our recent graduates shared this reflection on our 200-hour Breath-Centered Teacher Training — and how the structure, community, and integration time changed her experience of yoga in daily life.

This training isn’t just about learning to teach. It’s a space to deepen your practice, build meaningful connections, and explore yoga as a full, embodied path.

💬 Curious if it’s the right fit for you?

🗓️ Join us for a free Q&A session:
Sunday, August 17 or Saturday, September 6

What do you cling to in practice?
What do you avoid?

In yoga philosophy, these tendencies are called rāga (attachment) and dveṣa (aversion). We chase what feels good. We resist what feels uncomfortable.

But growth often lies in the friction.
In the pose we’d rather skip.
In the silence that feels too quiet.
In staying with a feeling we’d normally push away.

Notice your patterns.
Not to judge them—just to see clearly.
That’s where freedom begins.

Join this Sunday at 12:30 for a discussion on practice, clarity, struggles, and insights. All are welcome. Sign up for free via the link in the bio and check out the discussion questions on the blog!

✨ What a journey. ✨
This May, we closed the circle on another 9-month yoga teacher training—and what a group this was.

Each year brings a unique constellation of people. This one gave us deep friendships, shared growth, belly laughter, tears, transformation… even a baby(!). 💫

For 9 months, this group showed up with presence, care, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart. Together we studied, practiced, questioned, listened, supported, and taught. It was transformational work—honest, embodied, breath-centered.

Every training is its own living experience. And this one reminded us just how powerful community can be.

🌀 To the newest teachers: we can’t wait to see what you share. Some of you will be on the schedule soon—watch this space.

💛 Thinking about joining the next round? The 2025-26 YTT begins this September. If you feel the pull, check the link in bio and reach out.

🌿 The Listening Space – June 8 at 12:30
A free monthly circle for honest conversation on the yoga path.

This month, we’ll reflect on a theme that many of us touched on last time: compassion — especially for ourselves.

Can we stay committed to practice and still be kind to ourselves when it gets hard?
Can compassion hold space for effort, even struggle?
Where is the line between self-care and avoidance?

We’ll explore these questions together, with inspiration from Yoga Sutras 1.12 and 1.33, and our own lived experience.

✨ Open to all students of yoga
📍 At the studio
🕊 Free to join

🗓 Sunday, June 8 | ⏰ 12:30 PM
See you there.
