About us

Balanzs is a place where movement, breath, and kindfulness come together. For everyone, at every level. We believe in the power of small, intentional moments that strengthen you from the inside out. With our community, our teachers, and our mission to reach one million people, we create a gentle ripple of positive change every day. Kind for all, for all kind.

Founded by Menno and Zsoka Bernard in 2011, Balanzs has grown from a single studio in The Hague into a vibrant community with eight Balanzs studios and three Pilatezs studios across The Hague, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and Amsterdam.

With a dedicated team and our Kindfulness Foundation, we bring positivity, connection, and kindfulness to life every day.

What other say about Balanzs

Yoga & pilates voor everybody!

Our mission is for everyone to experience the benefits of yoga and Pilates, also if they can’t afford it. That’s why we donate one-third of our profits to our Kindfulness projects. Through this foundation, we organise activities and projects that make yoga and Pilates accessible to everyone.

Kindful to nature

Kindfulness is not only central to our team and our classes. You’ll also find it reflected in the design of our studios. This means we use:

  • Efficient energy through infrared panels to heat our studios
  • Interiors and flooring made from fast-growing bamboo
  • LED lighting, water-saving shower heads, and smart ventilation systems
  • Real-time monitoring of our temperatures, energy use, and CO₂ footprint
