Mills transformed a 1960s brick factory into a [tranquil retreat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/othership-location) equipped with radiant-heating concrete floors, an energy-efficient fresh-air system and a creamy white palette. Yoga aficionados will adore this [minimalist meditation sanctuary](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-mind-body). If you’re ever in Melbourne and feel like cleansing your mind, soul and body, step into the Zen-like surroundings at the One Hot Yoga Studio. Mill’s studio is so well-designed, I wouldn’t be surprised if it inspired some first-time Yoga novices to venture in and try their hand at this ancient exercise. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 3% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Minimalist Yoga Studios:** Businesses can focus on offering simplistic and tranquil spaces for yoga that allow customers to fully immerse themselves in their practice. - **Health and Wellness Retreats:** Wellness companies can focus on creating retreats that offer a serene and relaxing atmosphere to help individuals unwind and revitalize themselves. - **Sustainable Yoga Practices:** Yoga studios and practitioners can focus on utilizing energy-efficient and sustainable materials and systems to create a more eco-friendly practice. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can specialize in creating minimalist and calming spaces that promote relaxation and wellness. - **Wellness Tourism:** Tourism companies can focus on offering wellness packages that include yoga retreats as a way to attract customers seeking a rejuvenating vacation. - **Green Construction:** Construction companies can focus on utilizing sustainable and energy-efficient materials and techniques when designing and building yoga studios and wellness retreats. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimal Timber Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenhouse.md) - [Barn-To-Retreat Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amassa-retreat.md) - [Texturally Designed Day Spas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-tate.md) - [Metal-Constructed Yoga Shalas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metamorphosis-yoga-shala.md) - [Tranquil Island Wellness Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sanya-wellness-retreat.md) - [Moody Wellness Space Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aetherhaus.md) - [Wellness-Focused Lifestyle Hubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-club.md) - [Self-Designed Tranquil Workspaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-saransh.md) - [Contemporary Minimalist Wellness Destinations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oak-mind-body.md)
