In the hustle and bustle of daily life, finding moments of tranquility and soulful connection becomes vital. Creating an inspiring yoga space at home offers a sanctuary to nourish your mind, body, and spirit.
Your soulful yoga space and your daily yoga practice are like mini holidays throughout your day and week, which is why it is important to create a space that will inspire, uplift, and ground you at the same time. We believe that a chic boho yoga space at home with green elements can do just that.
Drawing inspiration from our Eco meets Elegance Boho Flow ethos, we invite you on a journey to infuse your yoga space at home with elements of the bohemian charm. In this article, we’ll discover together how simple yet meaningful elements can transform any corner of your home into a haven of serenity and soulfulness.
1. Embrace Earthy Tones
The bohemian vibe is all about celebrating nature’s colors. Opt for earthy tones like warm browns, deep greens, and calming blues for your yoga space. These colors create a grounding and harmonious ambiance that aligns with the natural elements.
Here are some popular earthy colors and their representations:
Earthy Brown: Brown is often associated with the earth itself, symbolizing stability, strength, and grounding. It creates a sense of security and fosters a connection with nature.
Warm Terracotta: Terracotta hues evoke warmth and a connection to the earth. They are associated with natural elements like clay and bring a cozy and nurturing feel to a space.
Soothing Beige: Beige represents simplicity, calmness, and a neutral, unobtrusive quality. It provides a subtle backdrop that allows other colors and elements to shine.
Muted Olive Green: Olive green is reminiscent of nature and growth. It symbolizes peace, harmony, and renewal, making it a perfect color for creating a tranquil and rejuvenating environment.
Rich Burgundy: Burgundy, a deep red with brown undertones, signifies passion, strength, and a connection to the heart. It adds a touch of luxury and intensity to the color palette.
Golden Mustard: Mustard tones exude warmth, positivity, and a sense of vitality. They bring a touch of sunshine and energy to a space, enhancing the overall ambiance.
Neutral Gray: Gray is a versatile and calming color associated with balance and sophistication. It acts as a neutral canvas, allowing other colors and textures to stand out.
Warm Camel: Camel tones symbolize reliability, resilience, and a sense of endurance. They contribute to the overall warmth and coziness of a space.
Sandy Beige: Sandy beige is reminiscent of desert landscapes and coastal shores. It embodies a sense of tranquility, simplicity, and a connection to natural elements.
Earthy Orange: Earthy orange tones, like terracotta or burnt sienna, represent warmth, enthusiasm, and creativity. They add a playful and vibrant touch to the color scheme.
When incorporating these earthy colors into your bohemian-inspired yoga space, consider a balanced combination that resonates with your personal preferences and the desired mood of the space. Experiment with different shades and textures to create a harmonious and grounding environment for your yoga practice.
2. Add Boho Accents and Textiles
Boho textiles are an essential element in creating a vibrant and eclectic atmosphere in a bohemian-inspired yoga space. They add texture, color, and a sense of free-spirited style. Here are some popular textiles and creative ways to incorporate them into your boho yoga space at home:
Kilim Rugs: Kilim rugs are flat-woven textiles with intricate geometric patterns and bold colors. Place a kilim rug as the centerpiece of your yoga space to define the practice area. Its vibrant patterns will add energy and a touch of global flair.
Mandala Tapestries: Tapestries featuring intricate mandala designs, often in vibrant colors. As an alternative option, you could also choose Mandala wall stickers. Hang a large mandala tapestry on the wall as a focal point. It adds a sense of sacred geometry to your space, creating a visually stimulating backdrop.
Macramé Wall Hangings: These hand-knotted textiles often feature intricate patterns and fringe, and are an absolute Boho classic. Hang a macramé wall hanging above your yoga space to introduce a boho-chic element. Its textured and layered look complements the laid-back atmosphere.
Psst: Macramé is also our secret gem and what sets our cork yoga mat set apart 🙂 Shop yours here!
Embroidered Pillow Covers: Pillows with intricate embroidery, often in bohemian patterns, make a very chic boho accent in your yoga space or living area. Scatter a few embroidered pillows on your yoga mat or meditation area. They bring a cozy and inviting feel, encouraging relaxation.
Textile Dreamcatchers: Dreamcatchers are another classic decorative accent for your boho yoga space at home. Dreamcatchers can be made from a number of materials, including macramé. Hang a dreamcatcher on the wall or as a focal point above your yoga mat.
Mix and match these boho textiles to create a personalized and eclectic yoga space that reflects your unique style and fosters a sense of comfort and creativity.
3. Embrace Natural Elements
Connect with the essence of the Earth by incorporating natural elements like potted plants, crystals, and driftwood. These elements not only beautify your space but also promote a deeper connection with nature during your practice.
Consider a variation of indoor plants in different sizes to give your eco, boho yoga space that special something. Plants help to purify the air and release oxygen, which is great for any yoga space.
Our secret tip: Hanging plants, such as Devil’s Ivy, in macramé plant hangers – this is simply the perfect combination of eco and boho right in your yoga space and looks absolutely gorgeous!
Naturally, the center piece of your boho yoga space at home should be your eco-friendly, chic yoga mat.

4. Soften with Ambient Lighting
Create a gentle and soothing atmosphere with ambient lighting. Opt for fairy lights, lanterns, or Himalayan salt lamps to add a touch of enchantment to your bohemian-inspired yoga space. If you have used macramé wall hangings, dreamcatchers or hanging plant pots, you can add fairy lights to these for extra coziness.
Another great addition are candles, of course, especially if you get soy wax candles scented with natural essential oils. Level up your boho yoga space at home by adding a big lavender or sandalwood scented candle.
5. A Bohemian Altar
A little altar should be part of any yoga space to create that connection and serves as a focal point for your spiritual or mindfulness practice. It can be a visual representation of your intentions, devotion, or connection to a higher power, helping to center your thoughts during yoga and meditation.
Here are our top tips for creating an exclusive, bohemian-inspired altar in your yoga space:
- Macramé Candle Holders: They offer the perfect combination of soft light with a boho flair and fit nicely on a yoga altar.
- Pampas Grass Décor: Pampas grass makes for the ultimate boho accent and can be a great addition for your altar.
- Boho Style Incense Holder: Opt for a boho inspired incense holder, such as a lotus shape, incense holder made from light wood, or a Hamsa hand shaped incense holder. There are plenty of options to choose from!
By incorporating any of these elements, you are sure to craft a harmonious, grounding, and inspiring boho yoga space at home. Try using earthy tones, boho accents and fabrics, plants, and a unique altar to create a sacred place for your yoga practice. We hope to have inspired you to create a yoga space at home of your dreams
