About Stillhaus
A studio built on breath, patience and community.
Stillhaus opened in 2014 as one small room on Bergen Street. Twelve years later it’s still unhurried, still capped at 14 mats, and home to 800+ members.
We built Stillhaus for people who want to feel better, not perform better, in every class.

Our Story
It started with one room and fourteen mats.
After a decade teaching in crowded, mirrored studios across Manhattan, Maya Collins wanted somewhere people could practice without performing. In 2014 she signed the lease on a second-floor room on Bergen Street, painted the walls the colour of linen, and capped the class at fourteen mats.
That cap is still there. So is the tea bar, the absence of mirrors, and the fifteen quiet minutes before every class. Everything else has grown around them.

What We Believe
Slow practice, honest care.
Three beliefs shape every class we plan, every teacher we hire and every room we open.
01
Presence over perfection
There is no perfect pose. We care far more about how a practice feels than how it looks.
02
Kindness over correction
We offer options, not adjustments you didn’t ask for. Your body sets the pace in every class.
03
Community over competition
No leaderboards, no mirrors. Just people breathing together, quietly cheering each other on.
Twelve years in, the numbers we care about most are the quiet ones.

The Team
Guided by people who practice daily.
Our teachers trained for hundreds of hours, but what members remember is how they make a room feel kind and quietly attentive.
