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.

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.
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
Kindful customer service
Our goal is for you to leave our studio with a smile every time. So please feel free to share any ideas you have to make your experience even better. Our Customer Happiness Heroes are always available by email at hallo@balanzs.nl. You can reach us by phone from Monday to Thursday between 9:00 and 10:00. Many questions can also be answered by our chatbot Kindly or found in the FAQ on this website.
Our office team works every day behind the scenes (and sometimes on the front lines) to give everyone the best possible Balanzs and Pilatezs experience.
