My opinion:

I’ve been here several times and the facilities here are good and I like how this place is big, making me feel comfortable. I liked the polished look of the entire place because I personally do not prefer shabby looking yoga studios. Many students were spotted wearing Lululemon here, so I suppose the crowd consists of a number of serious yogis.

The Hot Flow class I tried here was of similar standard to Hom Yoga’s and it was enjoyable. Hatha yoga is available for beginners to start learning yoga too.

With the good facilities and a lot of space to move around, this is one of my favaourite studios in Singapore.
