Our Manifesto
At Basic Space, we provide an open environment where movement, sound, and breath are experienced without expectation, performance, or judgment. Our mission is to create a welcoming space that invites stillness and encourages a deeper connection with oneself. Guided by values of openness, kindness, and respect, we teach the art of balancing softness and strength, effort and play. We honour each individual’s unique journey, giving them the freedom to explore, rest, and grow at their own pace.
Our studio is a place for grounded, curious folks who appreciate mindful living, understated beauty and the simplicity of being. We believe that true wellness is found in balance — between movement and stillness, self-discipline and self-compassion.
At Basic Space Studio, we are committed to cultivating a community of calm, cool, and kind individuals who prioritize well-being, without the pressure to conform. Here, authenticity thrives, and our students are free to simply be and perhaps, become
The Founders
Basic space was created through the confluence of Jaime and Matt’s respective expertise.
Jaime has been practicing and teaching yoga for over ten years. She was Head of Yoga at one of London’s top boutique studios before moving to California, where she founded an online studio: The Yoga Library. A minimal aesthetic was built into The Yoga Library’s foundations, which led to the search for the perfect space to film classes.
Matt has studied and practiced Architecture for over a decade and brings his professional insights to make a place that people seek out, stay in, and want to be part of.
As a partnership, Jaime and Matt’s shared love of design, understanding of space, and its relationship to mindfulness led to the formation of Basic Space. Their goal is to invite others to a place that fosters community, facilitates movement, and provides a beautiful backdrop for your class or shoot.
