Hire Our Space

A Fine Balance is a yoga studio and multi purpose venue space available for hire in vibrant Upminster, East London / Essex border.

The studio offers natural light and contemporary decoration (exposed brick wall, white walls and wood laminate floors). This allows the space to be used in a variety of ways.

The space can be used as a therapy space, for pop-up shops, photoshoots, gallery space, supper clubs, events as well as holistic treatments.

We provide a 16 mat studio space with yoga and pilates equipment.

A Fine Balance has great transport links into central London and there’s plenty of on-street parking right outside.
