Immersive Yoga Studio Projection for Yoga, Cycling and Gym Classes

Most studios look the same at six in the morning as they do at six at night. Projection gives the room a different feel for each class, from a quiet nature scene for a slow flow to brighter, more energetic visuals when the music picks up. Imagine a yoga class in the middle of the city, surrounded by serene visuals and soothing soundscapes.

We design projection, lighting and sound for spaces where people move, and we have experience running yoga classes inside a projected dome. If you have a studio in mind, tell us about the room and the classes you teach.

A fitness class is not a gallery experience. People lie on the floor, stretch overhead and move around the room, so the technology needs to stay out of the way. Short-throw and ultra-short-throw lenses help keep projection beams above or below people while allowing hardware to be positioned close to surfaces.

The room matters as much as the content. Controlled lighting is essential for clear projection, while a dedicated media server delivers synchronized content across multiple surfaces. Quiet matters too. In small rooms, fan noise can break the immersion, so projector acoustics and heat management need to be part of the plan from the start.

• A look for each class. Our collaborative process starts by identifying the visual aesthetic, tone and format through storyboards and moodboards.
• Scenes built for the space. Projection rooms can simulate environments and surround people from every angle. Our Capital One Venture Dome project, for example, featured 360-degree scenes of mountains, ski slopes and underwater worlds.
• Light and sound together. Complementary soundscapes, interactive lighting and themed decor can complete the sensory experience.
• Visuals that respond to movement. Motion and depth cameras can provide position, velocity and silhouettes, allowing scenes to respond to the people in the room.
• One space, many formats. At the Capital One Venture Dome, our team managed all audiovisual elements and adapted the environment for each scheduled activity.

Yoga rooms are where we have direct experience. The Capital One dome hosted yoga classes among its scheduled activities.

Cycling and rhythm classes run on music. Real-time projection mapping can respond instantly to music, movement and sensors instead of relying on pre-rendered playback.

Group fitness works in larger shared spaces too. The Capital One dome held group exercises, including yoga, alongside motivational speakers and famous athletes.

Pop-up classes do not need a permanent room. Inflatable projection domes are suitable for both temporary and permanent installations, making them another option for events and dedicated immersive spaces.

Spas and meditation rooms have their own page, as do walk-through projection rooms and interactive floors.

We have not published a dedicated studio project. This is our closest published work with classes inside a projected space.

• Capital One Venture Dome: In the winter of 2018-2019, with Publicis Hawkeye, 360 Labs and Pacific Domes, we projection mapped the dome and designed lighting and sound for an immersion space shown at four locations in Denver over six months. The 44-foot geodesic dome featured 360° projections of mountains, ski slopes and underwater scenes, using four 25K-lumen projectors and our custom Domemaster server. It hosted yoga classes, athlete speeches and interactive experiences like VR ski simulators.

Tell us the room size, the ceiling height, the classes you run and how much daylight the space gets. We will come back with how we would light it, project it and set the sound for each class. For the wider range of surfaces we map, see our projection mapping services, or contact our team to start.
