My Yoga room is almost all set up. Recommendations needed for Yoga cushions, and also decor? Right now (as per comments on this forum) it is bare… here is a shot showing what I have:
Really depends where you live - just Google to find a local place that specialises in yoga related stuff.
I am hoping for recommendations from hosts as to specifics - Pretty sure Amazon et al will supply what I need to purchase -
I don’t provide a dedicated yoga space in my home, although many of my guests practice and we have a nationally recognized practitioner in town. I’m wondering how you’re going to deal w/ cleaning and disinfecting these items. My cushions and bolsters have removable covers, but I’ve never researched buying additional covers.
As a guest, I would want the ability to clean a borrowed mat before practice or have a stack of clean covers that I could put on a cushion myself. I would never use a community yoga strap and I’m not sure how to disinfect a cork block. Between blankets and the cushions it seems like a lot of work and laundry for you. Is it possible to advertise the space, but provide only a couple of mats? My home is strictly a driving destination and if I advertised the space, I’m sure a large percentage of my guests would bring their own equipment.
I personally use Hugger Mugger products for all of my bolsters and cushions. Amazon.com: Hugger Mugger

If you have enough leeway financially guests maybe gift them a promo printed water bottle!

Many hotels specify that room/bathroom towels should not be used in exercise/pool areas but supply different ones for that purpose. If you don’t care, it’s not a concern. Nowadays people usually just know their routine or have it on their cell phone or tablet. You could have some capacity to play a few CDs (I know, a little dated), or some other way to stream the many online yoga programs available.

good thought about towels - and I will start asking if (for example) a smart tv in the room would be useful
My yoga room in my second home has a beginner yoga book with poses pictured, a buddha, a little suspended gong, essential oils and diffuser, mat and mat cleaning spray, and cork blocks. There is a hamsa canvas print on the wall and jute rug.
I believe cork has some anti-microbial properties, but I imagine you could use the spray on the blocks.
I also have a blanket and meditation pillow to sit on – but that particular property is only rented to family and friends. I would remove those if I went full Airbnb.
It’s just a niche with a curtain, but the idea is to create a little environment conducive to taking a mental break.

For yoga room you might need mats, blankets ,scented candles for meditation and pillows.
You might contact this Host about their yoga room, though their style seems a little simple and basic.

[Just kidding, of course] BTW, read their rules. Interesting!!
Here’s another simple home with a yoga studio: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/16992720?source_impression_id=p3_1651106935_TK972vDafdwTqjJ1
These properties remind me of Alexander Wolcott’s remark when he saw Hearst Castle:
“What God could do if he had money.”
