Yoga is a holistic workout geared towards the integration of mind, body, and spirit. The serene exercise was said to be developed over 5,000 years ago by the Indus-Sarasvati civilisation in Northern India. While the ultimate goal is to achieve enlightenment and spiritual serenity, yoga has become so entrenched in the health and wellness industry that certain symbols and imageries have become permanently attached to it. For instance, online florists are not the only vendors using flowers to attract customers. A large number of yoga studios and boutiques make use of the lotus flower in their logos and websites as an allusion to the Padmasana or the Lotus Pose. Yoga, after all, draws from the elegance, balance, and beauty of flowers to centre the body’s energy foundations.
Normal yoga, as practiced by the West, is Hatha yoga, which is just one incarnation of diverse yoga techniques. However, despite the variety of approaches under yoga, the aim is the same. Ironically, despite the grounded roots of yoga, the entire industry fuelled by the ever-growing demand for this exotic practice has sent costs skyrocketing.
In Singapore, yoga studio owners have to contend with high costs of rent and a saturated market, forcing them to hike their rates or go for bigger volume of participants per class. Despite the challenges faced by businesses, the competition does keep prices relatively competitive to avoid alienating clients from exorbitant costs. Some turn to reasonably-priced packages to attract loyal practitioners to their studio. Here are 7 yoga places in Singapore to practice yoga without breaking the bank.
