Svarupa Lorraine
Seelandweg 7 — 3013 Bern
Our yoga studio at svarupa Lorraine in Bern is a beautiful bright, lofty space just above the Aare river and botanical gardens at the entrance to the Lorraine quartier. The space was designed with a rustic oak floor and Japanese and Swiss design influences. Surrounded on three sides by tall arched windows and anchored by a charcoal grey north wall and 8 black pillars that hold a strong anchor for this bright open square space. There is a small curated library, a chill out zone for tea and conversations. This is our main yoga space for weekly classes but also for our Trainings, Education programs and Workshops. A place to come for study, for inspiration, or simply to share class and chai with our community of students. Fully stocked with every yoga prop needed and full of our love and passion for the practices of movement, breath and mind.
The cave is a very special underground yoga studio, built within an old cellar and held in place with the original stone walls of this 600 year old home in the heart of Bern’s Altstadt. Exposed rock, a special lifted and insulated linoleum floor lit from all four sides and graced by a tall arched 4 m brick ceiling. People love to practice here for the cozy warmth and grounded energy. It’s a small intimate space that rests as one of the more unique yoga spaces we have seen. This is also our “digital recording studio” where much of our online content is created. It’s the studio that originally inspired our vision for svarupa — bringing together experienced teaching and like-minded people that wanted to form a unique place for practice and connection.
