Yes, yoga, the seemingly effortless exercise that requires you to contort your body into slightly awkward positions and sometimes hold them for what feels like an eternity.
Generally less intense as compared to CrossFit or marathons, yoga can be practiced by almost anyone, regardless of age or fitness level.
This means, if you’ve fallen off the fitness train or have been a professional couch potato due to COVID-19, yoga is a great option to consider when you restart your fitness journey.
If you are looking to give yoga a(nother) try or searching for a new studio to practice, here are nine conveniently located ones in Singapore that offer a range of classes at affordable prices.

The best perk of owning a Yoga Movement membership is that it doesn’t restrict you to just one studio. This means, you’re able to attend any class at any of their six studios and even online!

Hom Yoga offers an extensive range of classes. Not only can you find classes like flow, hot and hatha here, but also more advanced ones like ashtanga and primal vinyasa.
They are also probably one of the only studios to offer prenatal, postpartum, and mum and baby yoga classes under one roof.
Price wise, they aren’t the most wallet-friendly. Our advice? If you’re serious about joining Hom Yoga, opt for the unlimited membership and commit to attending classes 8 times a month. That way, it works out to $23.75 per class, which is way more affordable than purchasing their 10 class package.

Looking to burn calories? Then head over to Lava Yoga. Like its name suggests, all classes, regardless of type or difficulty level are conducted in extremely warm rooms.
Unlike other studios that use overhead heating panels, Lava Yoga’s heat comes from their specially constructed 3-layer underfloor heating system that consists of heating panels, hot stones and Hinoki cypress flooring.
Together, the system helps warm the body from the inside out giving you a more intensive burn which is said to help encourage better blood circulation.
However, this also means that you won’t be able to escape the heat since there aren’t any ‘cooler’ spots in the room (sad face).
Note: Lava Yoga is a women-only studio. Sorry, boys!
