The Looking Glass

I’ve traveled a lot and been to many yoga studios around the world and The Looking Glass is by far my favorite. It’s a beautiful space overlooking the Rhine with the best teachers. The community of students is welcoming to all and everyone is made to feel so special. I cannot recommend this studio enough, if you’re in Basel… taking a class at The Looking Glass is a must… I promise, you will not regret it.

The best Yoga Studio I have ever visited!I recommend this Studio to anyone looking for various Yoga styles, nice moments of collective meditation and chanting, warm atmosphere, wonderful view, and the best Yoga teachers in town. Just finished my Yoga Teacher Training here, an experience I would definitely recommend to everybody!

A holistic yoga studio with a fantastic view of the river. I love the international workshops that they've put on over the years. My practice has deepened immensely since coming here regularly. I really appreciated the online support and the fact that they've kept the online access; so good if I'm not feeling well/up for crowds.The teachers are simply next level!!!

I went to a class at the Looking Glass while staying with a friend nearby and cannot say enough wonderful things. We attended the Yin Yang Fri lunch class, and it was idyllic! Especially for having flown long haul 48 hrs before, I can’t imagine a better physical practice to settle my mind and body in Europe. Kristen’s cues and assists made this experience one of my highlights of 3 days in town!

I discovered The Looking Glass Studio in 2019 and have become a regular visitor since. The teachers are so welcoming and supportive to yogis of all levels, the studio is beautiful and overlooking the Rhein River. The owner Kristen does a great job at making The Looking Glass Studio feel like a second home.

This studio is stunning. It overlooks the Rhine and is spacious, clean and inviting.The class I took was absolutely fantastic.I’ve gone to classes all over the world and this is one of the best. Kristin, the owner was a warm person and a fabulous instructor. Do not hesitate to attend some classes, you will not be disappointed.

The Looking Glass ist ein Ort der Selbstfindung auf ganz vielen Ebenen. Zuerst besticht die Location durch unglaublichen Charme und einen wunderschönen Blick auf den Rhein. Dann spürt man die Energie. Christen hat aus einem Zimmer einen Raum geschaffen, in welchem man sich geborgen und aufgehoben fühlt. Ihre tiefsten Kenntnisse über die physische und nicht physische Gestalt unseres Seins ist sehr beeindruckend. In ihren Yogakursen vermittelt sie ihr können auf eine so empathische Art und Weise, dass man angespornt wie ein Kind, mit Freude und Energie so viel lernen darf, ohne jeglichen Frust oder Stress.In meinem Kopf war da plötzlich der Gedanke: AHA, DAS ist yoga.Ich kann den Ort, Christen und das komplette Gefühl im The Looking Glass 100% empfehlen.

I love this studio! Such a beautiful and calm space. Amazing teachers! Make it a point to take a class from Kristen, the owner. She is so knowledgeable and yet personable at the same time. As a career yoga instructor myself of 20 years, I’d highly recommend this studio to anyone.

You can read a lot about what makes a good yoga teacher. They have to check in with their students, have to understand anatomy and physiology, have insight on spiritual praxis and so on. But what is the secret to come from good to great?For me the answer is how I feel during and after a class.I love it, when a teacher brings me to a new experience and when the praxis makes me feel so present during the class, that I don't think about anything else. And this happens not only due to great knowledge but by a teacher who is spreading out his own passion towards practicing and teaching.Thats why I love joining the classes with Kristen Watson Geering at The Looking Glass Basel. I learn new things in every single class with her, and I can adopt them to my own classes. Whenever I have questions about my own teaching she is a great mentor.I really want to recommend her classes to everyone who is interested in yoga. No matter if you're a student or teacher or if you've never done yoga before. This is for all levels!!!
