Over 20 years ago, Markus Latscha and Arlette Herzig founded SPIRIT STUDIO with the aim of creating a place for holistic training—one of the first body & mind studios in Basel. A space for yoga, Pilates, and personal training that puts people at the center.

The studio grew step by step on the Gundeldingerfeld site—the former Sulzer Burckhardt site. One room became two, then three. A milestone followed in 2010: the move to the current premises in Hall 2, with two course rooms, a spacious gallery, cloakrooms, and showers—almost 300 m² of space for exercise, socializing, and development.

As the studio grew, so did the team—and the range of services on offer. In addition to yoga and Pilates mat classes, SPIRIT STUDIO was one of the first studios in Switzerland to offer Reformer Pilates in larger groups.

In 2020, Tamara Blösch and Michael Brunner took over SPIRIT STUDIO. As long-standing employees, experienced trainers, and instructors for Polestar Pilates, they bring with them in-
e expertise in sports science, training, and rehabilitation. The high quality and qualifications of the entire team remain one of SPIRIT STUDIO's greatest strengths to this day.

More importantly, however, the SPIRIT of the founders to create a place where people are the focus and feel comfortable has always been preserved and is lived out by our team!

With the new management, the motto "Under one roof" was created and consistently developed further. In 2021, physiotherapy was added—a place where patients can also experience the Pilates method therapeutically. In 2025, an additional course room for Pilates Tower classes and another treatment room for physiotherapy followed.

Today, SPIRIT STUDIO offers a comprehensive range of therapy, personal training, and over 50 weekly classes in three course rooms covering almost 400 m². It is a place that combines exercise with expertise, experience, and genuine passion.
