Image
Jyan yoga is located in restaurant street at Prinsep street. website:https://www.jyanyoga.com/ Location ** ***: not near to MRT station and even street parking was quite small Ambience **** *: the studio is on 2nd floor, it was white and welcoming vibes    Studio **** * : They have 2 studios , clean and airy but lay out of mats are not ideal , studio was long and narrow so teacher stays in the middle of the studio and practitioners towards to her Toilet and Bathroom *** ** : they have 2 toilets and clean and has a small shower attached in the toilet bring your own towels   Class ** *** flow with K*** at 9.30am : her cue was not very accurate and even sun salutation was not correct and not much engage with students.

Image
Platinum  yoga has  5 brunches , I went to one in Ang Mo Kio in AMK hub. website /https://platinumyoga.com/ Price : no specifically mention on the website  Location ***** : It is located right next to Ang Mo kio Mrt station which is connected to AMK HUB shopping centre Ambience **** *: the receptionist in the front and small seating area but it has very awkward shoe case you can hardly feet a shoe in Studio **** *: it has one big studio may takes around 50 students and has a big mirror, changeable light and a cabinet is inside, clean and nice Bathroom and shower : none Class *** ** 9.30am (60mins) plates : I went to a plates class to find out what was like to offer plates class at a yoga studio, surprisingly it was kind of pack with students and very challenging and repetitive class , students seemed to enjoy a lot, for me it was more like yoga with using tools such as dumbbell, wheel etc

Iyengar yoga (Riana yoga) at Balmoral plaza in Singapore

Image
  Iyengar yoga studio is in Balmoral plaza in Bukit Timah, it is a small studio (maybe maximum 10 practitioners). https://www.iyengaryoga.sg/ Price : Single drop in for 45$ and you can also buy 10 pass for 360 $ , I guess it is a bit pricey given that there is any facilities provide for you, no towels, no water, no socialising place Ambience ** *** there is small entry , I think only 1or 2 people would fit at the entrance , it was not really clean there are a few plants in the studio it was really nice features, feels alive and organic  Studio room ** *** plants and nice windows lift up the mood, they have all props for Iyengar yoga however they are not all in the same location, mats and blocks at the entrance and other props are in the studio and I found the room wasn't very clean and vinyl flooring was not attractive and my mat was so smelly I had to put another mat on the top of it to hide the smell.  Bathroom : use the shopping centre one Changing room : None Shower ...

COMO Shambhala

Image
Como shambhala is located in Orchard in the heart of Singapore, I think the studio is one of biggest I've ever visited in Singapore so far, they also offer pilates and body and facial massage. My first impression was "wow big and airy and feels luxury" https://comoshambhala.com/singapore They have 3 yoga studios and 2 pilate rooms plus massage rooms and relaxing room, shower room and changing room and bathrooms but shower, changing and bathroom are not in one place especially toilets are located in out of studio, you have a put indoor slippers on to use it. I don' t think it is user friendly layout . Top of that they did not give me a towel saying that due to Covid ? we are all out of Covid restriction now. Size :I think each yoga room take maximum 25 Price: 45 per session and 400 $ for 10 packs / no monthly payment  Hatha 2 at 9.30am 75mis with K***  M** We started with surya pranayama (right nostril breathing) and a few minute meditation, he was a bit serious and at...

Yoga movement at Orchard / Flagship

Image
 Hello..  Let's go into Yogamovement, this is well established studio and has 8 studios in Singapore, I went to try one in Orchard flagship, which is very near to Singapura plaza but not inside the shopping mall. https://www.yogamovement.com They offer both hot and normal yoga and I found that hot yoga was rather warm  than hot which was I quite liked it .. easier to breathe and more airy. Price scheme is a bit different from others they only have pay as go, a per session (45$) or pack of 10 to 100 ( the more you buy the cheaper you get). The studio was very airy, calm and clean atmosphere plus sell coffee and nice balcony to seat on and have a coffee which was very nice feature, entrance, bathroom , changing room and yoga studio was very spacious, only downside was they do not give you towels so you have to pay 1$ for a towel by card. It would be better to take your own towels.  I'd like to share some features at Yogamovement in Orchard  . The Class / Hot slow ...
