Yoga classes in Singapore: Best studios to sweat, meditate and flow your way to zen

Yoga's popularity has surely endured the flux and flow of fitness trends, and for good reason too.

Whereas Pilates, martial arts, and good ol' gymming is all about toning up, yoga strengthens and heals both your mind and body.

Getting aches and anxiety from your daily grind? A spot of hot yoga or power flow class is the holistic tonic you need.

If you're wondering where to unroll your mat, don't stress.

We've rounded up some of Singapore's best boutique yoga studios - studios that boast the elusive harmony of personalised classes, amazing facilities, and interesting techniques - so you can get your flow on!
