YOGA+

Yoga+ teach vinyasa. And are based in Chinatown, and Kampong Glam. They offer basic classes for beginners, power and inversion sessions for those who are more experienced, as well as stretch and flow programmes.

It’s always good to talk to a teacher before you go, especially if you’re new to yoga. We suggest starting with a basic class to get a feel for your level of confidence.

HOM YOGA

Hom Yoga’s beautiful sites are based in two great locations.

Hom Yoga is run by socially-conscious business owners who work with local non-profit organisations. They also have a long-term partnership with the Singapore Committee for UN Women.

THE YOGA SCHOOL

The Yoga School is remarkable for its studio alone. Located on the39th floor of the OCBC Centre, the studio is a serene space that looks out over the city.

They also have a lounge where you can hangout after classes. And gorgeous bathrooms with luxurious ploh towels and Aromatherapy Associates products – worth the membership in themselves!

WORK IT FROM HOME

After a few classes you’re likely to feel that glow. And you’ll probably want to practise every day. Because the more you do, the deeper into poses you can go, the easier you’ll find it to empty your mind, and the better you’ll feel all round. It’s amazing what a difference yoga can make to your life.

But life is busy – it’s not always possible to get to a studio every day. Plus, it can be expensive.

Try and get to a yoga class at least once or twice a week. Then top up your practise at home. There are loads of ways to do this.

YOGA WITH ADRIENE

Top of the YouTube list has to be Yoga With Adriene.

Hailing from Texas, USA, Adriene has four million subscribers who love her personal style and expertise.

Roll out your mat in a calm space at home and you’ll feel like you’re having a one to one with a teacher.

Adrienne says; “Yoga offers up a way for us to see a world that is working for you instead of against you. [It] reminds [us] that everything is connected so we most live, act, dance, breathe with awareness. I hope you will join me.”

EKHARTYOGA

EkhartYoga is another brilliant way to practise at home. Founded by the excellent Esther Ekhart, this online school hosts a huge catalogue of over 3,000 paid and free classes, as well as guided programmes, articles and resources, and collections.

Choose from an inspiring range of top, international teachers. Then roll out your mat and get stretching.

Ekhart members say, “Esther and team, I just wanted to say I am in love with your service. EkhartYoga empowers me to find and build my connection to yoga and myself from within. I am endlessly grateful. Thank you so much!’

APPS

There are loads of great apps to guide you, too, and remind you to practise daily.

you’ve incorporated this time into your schedule, start adding a bit more, even if it means getting up earlier. You’ll never regret starting your day in this way.
