While we were utterly grateful for online yoga classes guiding us through downward dogs and warrior poses during recent lockdowns, we have been positively ecstatic about the reopening of workout and wellness studios.
Whether you’re looking for a morning Vinyasa flow, a much-needed stretch after sitting at your desk all day, or a Yin session to slow things down before bedtime, Singapore has a host of yoga studios for you to mix and match according to your intentions.
A studio that caters to beginners, experienced practitioners and everyone in between, Yoga Movement offers multi-level classes categorised by their focus, pace and sweat level. For those whose first foray into yoga was through online classes when we were all stuck indoors, opt for the Basics class which focuses on alignment, foundation, flexibility and muscle tone. Seasoned yogis can check out the fast-paced Power Flow class that works up a sweat.
The home grown lifestyle brand has eight studios across Singapore, our favourites include their Orchard Flagship — the super spacious beastie studio is just stunning, and the cute Robertson Quay outlet as you can hang at Grounded for coffee after your session. We also love their range of yoga t-shirts and mats which are regularly updated.

2. Lab Studios
Home to Yoga Lab and Barre Lab, Lab Studios was founded on the belief that yoga should be accessible to all, and aims to empower all students to explore their edges and challenge possibilities. Offering a wide range of classes, the studio can cater to your needs whether you’re looking to build a solid foundation or take your practice further. The Yin class revitalises body tissues and cultivates a calm mind, with each pose held for 3–5 mins. Great for all looking for a chill practice to stretch out desk-bound postures and a balanced counterpart to more intense exercises.

3. Freedom Yoga
Offering sanctuaries for practice and connection, Freedom Yoga’s two studios are escapes from hectic urban life. Their signature Freedom Flow is a vinyasa-based class, which creates a harmonious balance between the mind and body. The slower Time Out creates space for stillness while nourishing joints and ligaments. For something in between, the Yin Yang class starts with a gentle vinyasa sequence before seamlessly transitioning into passive yin and restorative poses, which allows the nervous system to reset.

4. Yoga+
Yoga+ was born out of the desire to create a holistic space that goes beyond the physical realm of yoga. By redefining the collective understanding of yoga, Yoga+ seeks to explore the possibilities of yoga beyond its asanas. Restore is a hybrid class that marries both the vinyasa practice and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). It offers a vinyasa flow class that is infused with cardio movements aimed to get your heart rate up. Those looking to take things up a notch can try the Invert class, which focuses on arm balances and inversions which include, but not limited to, crow pose, side crow, headstands, forearm stands, handstands, and more.
