A room is quiet in a different way at the end than it was at the start. That's the work.

What we know, we know from rooms: teaching, training teachers, running retreats. Not a catalogue of sessions. Knowing people: what they take in, how much is too much, what's still there a week later.

Judith Mila Durante founded Studio Atha. Twenty years in bodywork and teaching, a background in creative production for cinema and Red Bull Media House. She creates the sessions, teaches many of them, and makes them look like the house they happen in.

Johannes Thanner runs the business side: contracts, the shape of each offering, and everything that has to work before anyone is in a room.

Our work for hotels started in 2021 with edyn: a studio inside the WunderLocke. With the right programme, teachers and atmosphere, a studio can be built almost anywhere: a meeting floor, a lobby at eight in the morning, an office on a Tuesday. So we choose: light, scents, sounds, rituals, the thing someone carries home.

The teachers are a network, not a staff. Yoga, somatics, breathwork, fascia work, booked per project and briefed on the place, the group and the day. One partner, end to end.

Atha is Sanskrit for now. The moment when everything begins.
