About Yoga Moves

Our Background
We are a yoga "shala" or studio in the center of Utrecht, a wonderful city full of young professionals, students, and creative types. Hilary Brown started Yoga Moves in 2001 (formerly Yoga Motion) in a rented space in the center of Utrecht. She wanted to offer classes in the American style which she was used to: open, drop-in based, friendly, professional and challenging. Since then her classes and the interest in yoga has grown.

Our Studio
In 2004 we moved to the St. Janshovenstraat to our own beautiful studio. In the summer of 2008 we remodeled our space to create space for a second studio and room for a yoga shop to offer yoga clothing and props etc. We have two yoga spaces now, with the possibility to open a long wall up between the two studios for larger workshops.

Studio 1 holds up to about 30 people for a yoga class (average class size is 15), and Studio 2 about 18. We have a shower and changing room and places for you to leave your personal items.

In addition, we have a lounge to rest and enjoy a cup or tea before or after class. In this space we have our store - full of lovely yoga clothing, gifts, yoga props, books, CD's and DVD's.
