My opinion:
Being in the hipster neighbourhood of Tiong Bahru, it is no surprised that this place is going towards the unpolished look. However, it is still quite well maintained so that’s fine – wear and tear was minimal.
There’s only one yoga room so the whole studio was quite small. The changing room was very simply furnished with metal lockers and IKEA furniture (not much theme to speak of) and it wasn’t very big – if there were more than 10 in the room it would be quite a squeeze. However, I did like how cotton pads, cotton buds, hair ties and negative ion hairdryers were provided so I give them credit for that.
The yoga room itself was decent but I didn’t get any special feelings. I did a flow class and it was of good quality.
For drivers, you can get free parking at the studio.
Pros: Good class types, low prices, good quality mats, bright yoga room.
Cons: Overall size quite small and unpolished looking.
Overall: 6.5/10
