Creating an Oasis: The Journey Behind GITA STUDIO's Fusion of Art, Technology, and Holistic Wellness
In the Heart of Mexico City
In the vibrant center of Mexico City, GITA Studio stands as a visionary sanctuary where ancient wellness practices meet cutting-edge technology and artistic expression. Founded by Alejandro, Daniela, and Joss, this innovative space is rooted in their unique journeys into holistic wellness and a shared desire to create a community dedicated to balance, connection, and transformation.
In this interview, the founders share their inspiration, the intersection of art and well-being, and how GITA Studio is shaping the future of wellness in Mexico City.
The Inspiration Behind GITA Studio
How did you first get introduced to holistic wellness practices? How have these practices influenced your life and the development of GITA Studio?
Alejandro: My journey began through music. More than 20 years ago, during GuitarCraft courses with Robert Fripp, I learned a meditation practice called “sitting,” where you ground through 64 points of the body. This brought me profound calm and clarity. Later, I envisioned GITA Studio as a space that blends music, art, technology, and holistic practices like yoga, meditation, and sound healing.
Daniela & Joss: Our paths have long been connected to holistic practices. Together, we wanted to co-create a space for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being that evolves into something larger than the sum of its parts.
A Community-Driven Vision
What was your vision for this unique yoga and wellness space?
Founders: GITA Studio is more than a physical place. It’s a community sanctuary — a modern oasis in the midst of the city. Our goal is to integrate art and the digital domain to enhance well-being on every level: physical, emotional, and spiritual.
In a world that often overwhelms us with noise, social media, and constant demands, GITA Studio offers refuge. It is a space where people can reconnect with themselves and experience transformation.
Light, Visuals & Immersion
How do you incorporate light and visuals into the design and atmosphere of GITA Studio?
Founders: Light and visuals profoundly shape our state of mind. At GITA Studio, we use them intentionally to create immersive wellness experiences:
Chroma Room: Millions of color combinations, gradients, and movements designed to evoke specific emotions and guide inner journeys.
Zenses Room: Large-scale visual projections paired with Dolby Atmos surround sound, creating transformative landscapes for meditation, yoga, and breathwork.
Through these tools, we transport participants into new environments — a forest, a painting, or an abstract world — enhancing both presence and imagination.
Where Art Meets Well-Being
What are your thoughts on the intersection of art and wellness?
Founders: Art reflects the universe and our inner world. Just as digital art can expand perception, art can also expand wellness.
At GITA Studio, art is woven into our practices:
Musicians collaborate to create immersive soundscapes.
Visual artists share their work through high-definition projections.
Facilitators combine yoga, meditation, or breathwork with these sensory layers.
The result is a fusion of art and well-being that helps people carry presence, beauty, and reflection into daily life.
Looking Ahead
What events or workshops are coming next at GITA Studio?
Founders: We are constantly evolving. Upcoming offerings include sound healing journeys, collaborative workshops with musicians and holistic facilitators, and yoga experiences enhanced with light and visuals.
Our dream is for GITA Studio to become a recognized hub for innovation in wellness — where technology expands art, and art expands well-being.
A Local Oasis in Mexico City
How does GITA Studio engage with the community in Mexico City?
Founders: Wellness should be accessible to all. We envision GITA Studio as an oasis for the local community — a space to counteract the fast pace of city life and reconnect with what truly matters. Our outreach focuses on inclusivity, ensuring that everyone can experience transformation through our classes and immersive environments.
We also love sharing our city’s vibrant wellness culture. From meditation at Casa Primm, to yoga at Blanco Yoga in Roma or Agoralucis in Polanco, to healthy meals at Ojo de Agua or Forever Vegano, Mexico City is alive with options for mindful living.
Rituals of the Senses
Scents are a vital part of the GITA Studio experience. The studio’s lobby welcomes guests with the aroma of a specially crafted rooibos, vanilla, and berry tea created with local brand Té Quinto. Essential oils are also diffused at the end of sessions to deepen relaxation, adding another layer to the multi-sensory journey.
Words to Live By
Do you have a mantra or affirmation that guides you?
Founders:
“We deserve to be better persons.”
“We begin again constantly.” (Robert Fripp)
Both remind us to stay rooted in practice, to honor tradition, and to continuously evolve — individually and as a community.
GITA Studio shows us that art and wellness are not separate — they are part of the same language of presence.
