    Yoga practice at this place is pretty good. The instructors are clear with their instructions and are very helpful. They always encourage the students to push themselves to the limit, which is something i appreciate. However, what I'm most frustrated with is the fact that the yoga studio has cancelled on me 3 times. The first 2 times was a hot yoga class in the morning (7.30am) which was cancelled around midnight. I woke up early only to reach the studio and realise that it's not open cause the class was cancelled. The third time was a wheel class which they cancelled on me 30 mins before the class began. I hope that the management or instructors will continue to provide classes for students even if it's only one student.

    I have just completed my YTT200 with Yoga Mala. It was a nice experience, and the class was conducted in a much smaller group which would allow the instructor, Rajesh to focus on candidates more. Rajesh was knowledgeable and patient throughout in yoga classes. Not just focus on asana but he also explained all the anatomy, pranayama, and yoga Nidra throughout all the classes. Rajesh is also specialised in pranayama exercises, the yoga breath controlling technique which helps us in keeping us connected to our breath. I personally find it very helpful to reduce my anxiety in various ways. I am glad that I attended and completed my YTT200 with Yoga Mala. Yoga Mala YTT course offers extraordinary value for money. Yoga Mala is the best choice for both YTT and yoga classes. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Sobee I. 6 years ago on Google
    I had taken and taught yoga-based classes for a few years before enrolling in Yoga Mala’s 200 hour teacher training program. However, I felt that I was lacking in my understanding of yogic philosophy, postures and human physiology and wanted to improve my own technique and ability to instruct. Prior to the course, I felt this was only possible through hours of practicing asanas. However, as we progressed through the four weeks, I found the course to be a great blend of theory and practice. Our trainer Rajesh emphasized the importance of developing body awareness as the key to improving our practice and teaching skills and this has been my biggest take-away from the course. The training also taught me how to develop effective and well-balanced sequences, deliver clear instructions as well as modify poses and I have received a lot of positive feedback from participants in my classes as a result. The requirements for completing the course included 10 hours of practical teaching and 10 hours of observing classes covering various yoga styles. Though daunting at first, these turned out to be instrumental in helping me enhance my skills as a teacher. Yoga Mala provided a lot of support in helping me complete these requirements including opportunities to teach classes at their studio and attending classes of other instructors. I would recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their knowledge of yoga theory, understanding of asanas and teaching skills.

    Have been taking pre-natal yoga classes here under Raj and he's a good instructor who is patient and helpful. Would recommend his classes to people who might need more attention with getting into yoga positions or for total novices trying yoga for the first time.

  • 4/5 Mel T. 4 years ago on Google
    Review of YOGA MALA's 200HR YTT COURSE PROS: • Thorough explanation of muscles and bone structure, ensuring safe alignment. • Clear framework for constructing a yoga class, and practiced teaching to other students in class, get used to speaking. • Good balance of spiritual and physical practice - getting us to practice ahimsa and more gave an additional layer of awareness to what we were learning, that yoga is not just about physical poses. This is main reason why I chose this place because a lot of other studios do not offer this. (I even practiced loving kindness to cockroaches) • Patient and kind when answering our many questions • Encouraged us to think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions instead of listening to all the outside sources. • Practical hours required post course is gruelling and troublesome, at the same time, it is invaluable in teaching you to be comfortable teaching. Early nervousness is normal. • Extended understanding and kindness to me when I was super late in submitting my post course videos as I had surgery. They waived off my late fee for two extra months which is very generous and I am thankful for that. CONS: • Not enough time on instructing students to get into proper alignment. Only half a day spent on this topic. • Big problem: Classes veer off topic so we had to rush through remaining topics during last week. • Have alot of questions but no time to have them thoroughly answered. • Only require two books - orange one and main A4 book, plus purple book at later stages. The other two were not used at all and when we referenced these books, we were told not to listen to the book. • No reply on class structure after graduation, could be because Raj was away but really no reply so gave up after awhile. • Difficult to fulfil practical hours post course - hard to find students and locations. Understand that teaching paying customers is not fair, at the same time, big problem was actually finding a location. • Abit too much to do for course, difficult to juggle with rigors of working life - like finding time to practice at home and teach people. At the same time, nothing good comes without difficulty and effort. BUILDS: • Syllabus is needed - framework of timetable, week 1, 2, 3. Each week and each lesson must hit these key points for example. This helps provide clarity between teacher and students on what they will be teaching and learning each week. Each party is accountable week by week. • Have a q&a channel - either set aside two hours at the end of week for questions with students, or if more students, provide them a specific email to email questions. • Cut out the two extra books that were not used, offer them as additional supplemental reading. Earmark parts that you feel is helpful and useful for students that will justify the money they spend. • Get students to finish all class structure first and clear with teacher before course finishes. Opportunity to teach alot more when it comes to different types of peak poses. • Offer attic space for students to teach their friends. Offer it during non peak timings like afternoon lull where there's no official classes would be great to open up to students. OVERALL SUMMARY: Mien and Raj are not superhuman and do not put up pretenses trying to be, they are honest and transparent that they are human as well and are here to learn from the students as much as they are here to impart their knowledge. They are also trying their best. This led to comfortable atmosphere of asking questions and learning which is very rare to find. Yes, there needs to be more structure with the course syllabus and this is easily addressed. Do you feel well prepared to go out and teach? No, there needs to be more practice in teaching and correcting, and again, can be fixed with a syllabus tweak, not a problem. Come here if you want a solid foundation in anatomy, alignment and spiritual tenets of yoga. Be prepared for a time intensive course, and stick to the long hours because you will realize how fulfilling this course can feel later down the road.

  • 5/5 Si Huan L. 6 years ago on Google
    I looked around for YTT courses and found that many were very much commercialised till i met Raj and Mien at the info session. They are sincere and down-to-earth and live the essence of yoga. If you're only looking for a textbook, spoon feeding style of training one to just recite asana instructions or make mechanic adjustment, this course may not fit you as well. But if you're looking for a holistic understanding of yoga including philosophy, pranayama, meditation, principles of anatomy (that builds the foundation for asana and adjustment), and to lead a yogic life on a daily basis, this is for you. Theory wise, we were required to generate instructions based on the basics and the underlying rationale behind each asana, rather than just rote memory. We were often asked to go into poses to experience the difference if it was a wrong alignment or engagement, so that we know how to fine tune and internalise our instructions. On a personal level, I was prepared to commit myself to all the requirements clearly stated on the website - to practice quiet time, asana, pranayama, reflection on code of conduct, and keep a gratitude journal ON A DAILY BASIS. It was definitely tough, but it was life changing, and i benefited greatly from it. All in all, it's not an easy cause and you've to be committed to it. If you're ready to commit, this is one place that you'll learn beyond asanas. The full understanding of the essence of yoga will be a life-changing experience.

  • 5/5 Bao Tran T. 6 years ago on Google
    I did not have any expectations nor realise how much positive effect the Yoga Teacher Training has had in my life. But it is here unquantifiably. It is not like a fireworks-like surge of excitement. It came gently and quietly to anchor in the back of my mind, and I think it will stay there for a long time. The lead teacher Raj Raushan is a smart, thorough, patient and funny guy! He went through all the materials and requirements (imposed by Yoga Alliance) thoroughly, in an orderly and logically organised manner. All subjects were explained, analysed, commented and left for further personal thoughts. The training structure is well balanced between all the subjects instead of mainly focusing on asanas like many other trainings (I later realised this when talking to other yoga teacher trainees from other schools). While studying asanas, the focus was alignment and safety according to each person’s own body and anatomy. We are all made differently in the end, so you can’t just rigidly apply the same rule to everyone of us. The best thing I like about Raj is that he trained the future teachers to UNDERSTAND instead of just applying what was previously said. To answer a trainee’s question, he would ask back other questions leading to a more basic understanding of things and lead the trainee to use basic understanding arrive to his/her own answer or conclusion of a more complex matter. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. I find that I have gained great basic understanding all most subjects (asanas, anatomy, pranayama, kriyas, mudras, bandhas, yoga history, culture and philosophy) with Raj’s guidance, from which I could either go deeper with more YTT or deepen the practice on my own. Was I able to do more exotic and complicated poses after the YTT? Probably only one or two. Did I improve my asanas (which is most people go after most of the time) after the YTT? Greatly, in terms of alignment. But most important, the training brought my mind to a state in which I firmly believe anything is possible. The thing about yoga practice in general or yoga teacher training in particular is that it is your own practice. The teacher is there to guide you through only, the rest is up to you. It is totally up to you to go deeper or stay shallow, up to you to commit or not. Whether it is a part-time or full-time training, it requires a lot of efforts and commitment to understanding – yoga is not a mere workout – and to progress and success, within a relatively short amount of time. Before you decide to commit on a training, read the syllabus carefully, come to YTT-info session, ask questions and manage your expectations. Try to understand what the true yoga is about (i.e. not just asanas), what you expect from the training (more asanas or a comprehensive understanding of all yogic aspects), and choose the training accordingly. One last word. I value the teacher’s efforts and the teacher-student mutual respect and relationship. The teacher is not simply a service provider to whom you paid and from whom you expect treatments as though you are an “I-am-always-right” customer. The money you paid is nothing compare to the knowledge he passes on to you. Thank you Raj and Yoga Mala’s other teacher Mien. I really appreciate your time and efforts, patience and guidance, but you know that already.

    Been attending yoga classes for more than a year. Fantastic instructors, each with individual strengths who will help to correct postures and motivating attendees to improve with every lesson. Very careful with lessons to ensure attendees do not overdo to prevent injuries. Great yoga place for beginners to start with!

    I enjoy the morning classes with Rajesh alot. Especially the hatha and flow classes. Lot of emphasis on pranayama which helps me go deeper into the practice. His sequence is very well-balanced, challenging yet invigorating. He is also very patient and encouraging and gives us the space to explore. Looking forward to my next class, always.

    I did my 200ytt course and my journey has been amazing with Yogamala. The instructors are very experienced and always ready to share their knowledge. I have improved tremendously with the correct techniques and postures taught to me. Raj is very careful and focuses well on the correct postures even for those with injuries and spinal issues. Their yoga classes are great with a different energy in each different class. Krunal is amazing and strong with his Ashtanga style and Mien is great with her style of yoga flow. I am glad to have chosen Yogamala for my yoga journey!

    I had been practicing with Yoga Mala since they opened for almost 3 years and had never looked back since. The yoga instructors are humble, dedicated & friendly. The class is unprentious and good size unlike the commercialised yoga studios. Highly recommend this yoga studio along Circular Road / Raffles Place.

    Discovered Yoga Mala through Fave app and regretted I did not buy the 8 sessions. 4 classes that I had with Yoga Mala have successfully hypnotized myself to learn more about Yoga. Classes were pretty small and it definitely make you feel like you’re having a private sessions. Service were great, staffs were helpful and they went the extra mile to get us comfortable especially in the changing room (There were make up removers & hair dryer!!) Definitey will be back again to sign up for more packages and you guys shoyld definitely come down and experience it for yourself!

    Thumbs-up for the prompt assistance given by the staff there (in terms of replying emails, attending queries). Classes were pretty small and it fees like we’re attending the private session. Teachers were helpful by correcting our postures as and when. Definitely recommending this place to newbie as they do have huge range of classes with varying level of difficulties. Thank you Yoga Mala for the great service. Keep up the cleanliness and flexibility in booking and rescheduling our classes as and when!

    Classes: Unlike many studios in Singapore, Yoga Mala really provides a unique offering - Yoga classes in small class sizes with very experienced teachers at a great price with bright and airy studios and a central location. I always walk away from class feeling refreshed and that I've learned so much. The classes are great for beginners and there is great focus on alignment and posture. Mien's intermediate class is also really challenging and great for those who are trying to level up. I also love the Yoga Nidra classes as there are very few studios that offer this - pure relaxation and great for those new to meditation as well. Highly recommend you give the classes a try. YTT 200: I completed the YTT training at Yoga Mala with Raj and Mien in March. What a truly rewarding experience. Both teachers were extremely knowledgeable, patient and offered constructive feedback. I feel like my practice improved 10x and have been given the confidence and boost to start my teacher journey. There is so much more to learn but I feel that Yoga Mala has really given me the best foundation, and I would argue better than any other studios in Singapore. If you want to learn more about the theory and history, different styles of yoga and really deepen your meditation practices along with your asana practice- I can't recommend Yoga Mala enough!

    I started my Yoga Journey back in 2013 with Yoga Mala Studio. I stopped practicing for a while and resumed my practice here, taking up YTT 200 hrs with them. Principal instructor Raj has been an anchor with the studio since then. He focuses more on alignment and I recommend classes here for beginners who are looking to build a solid foundation or looking to restart the practice of Yoga. Bright, spacious and clean environment!

    Started my first full committed yoga sessions here. I love that the instructors are very experienced in teaching beginners to advanced students, they have lots of variations to suit your level. Especially love the yoga wheel, aerial and Yin Yang classes by Krunal and Mien! They’re very authentic and fun. I’ve seen a lot of improvements from when I first started.

    It has been 9 months since I started learning and practising yoga from Rajesh Sir, I am contented with his professional approach to teaching yoga (asanas and pranayama). He is punctual with classes and even online pays personal attention to everyone present in the group by directing them correct posture. I have attended both individual and group sessions online, both were superb and energetic. His classes have motivated me a lot towards fitness and I have started observing positive changes in myself. I highly recommend his classes. Thank you, Sir. Thank you Yoga Mala

    This studio is a gem. I signed up for a drop in class while visiting Singapore to keep up my practice and walked out inspired and invigorated. Raj is generous with his time and insight. He goes beyond the physical practice helping his students engage both the body and mind. I am so grateful to have come across this studio and will be back.

  • 5/5 Rui Qi Y. 1 year ago on Google • 3 reviews
    I took my YTT200 with Yoga Mala this year. The instructor Raj is very experienced and knowledgeable about the history and philosophy of yoga, anatomy, asanas, as well as pranayama and meditation exercises. I liked that we spent an hour every day on pranayama, which I feel is not an aspect of yoga that is not emphasized as much in other studios. I also really appreciated the emphasis of yoga as a whole philosophy and lifestyle, and not just as an “exercise”. As part of YTT, We also got to attend regular yoga classes with other students and I was impressed by Raj’s style of teaching as well as the class sequences, it’s very clear that he has a lot of experience teaching yoga as he gives concise instructions and is able to give precise pointers when students are struggling with certain poses. Overall, i would definitely recommend YTT with Yoga Mala for students who are interested in gaining a holistic appreciation of yoga!

  • 5/5 Motomi S. 3 years ago on Google
    I have just completed my 200 YTT course at Yoga Mala. Raj and Krunal are the best yoga teachers that I have ever met. It was a privilege for me to learn Yoga from both of them. One morning, we had a pranayama, breathing skill, lesson on the grass near the river. It was so refreshing and it helped me to understand Yoga more. I also liked to listen to many stories from Raj and Krunal, who had a lot of experiences and knowledge. Through this course, I have leaned more of Yoga than I expected. As Raj said, I am going to digest slowly what I learned there.

  • 5/5 L S. 2 years ago on Google
    Although I’m pretty new to yoga, I plan on sticking to this studio as long as the instructors, esp. Raj and Krunal, stick around. What makes a good studio is highly subjective but I’ve been able to catch up with the beginner classes (unfortunately my experiences at commercial gym classes suggest that even catching-up can a struggle at times perhaps due to class design, the way instructions are conveyed, etc.) and I do SEE changes in my overall fitness level. The location is good (short walk from Raffles station, the fees are more than reasonable and the place has a peaceful vibe to it which I can escape to after a long day at work, what’s not to like?

  • 5/5 Fiona C. 2 years ago on Google
    I found this studio via class pass and it has been 1 of my favorite yoga studios in Singapore eversince. I never fail to leave the class feeling rejuvenated. The instructor will go around to help people to deepen and lengthen the pose, the end product is a less sore and tight body.

    Like the cosy ambiance and studios are kept very clean. Instructors are all very experience and classes are usually conduct in small group, allowing the instructor to give attention to each yoga practitioner, correcting our posture (if needed). I always enjoyed the classes teach by Krunal and Mien. If you are looking for a small and cosy studio to practice your yoga, you might want to give Yoga Mala a try.

  • 5/5 Elaine Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Unlike other fast-food style yoga class in the gyms, this professional yoga studio provides you authentic yoga classes taught by enthusiastic international teachers. One of the advantages of this yoga studio is that the Indian teachers here posses plenty of yoga teaching experience and Vedic culture accumulation, which can help you go further than only the yoga classes. They made me experienced that the yoga practice is the 'union' of body and mind to connect to my true self and find inner peace. Namaste~

    Did not have a good experience at this place. The changing rooms are pretty bad, the shower curtains useless. The yoga room is average. I had some prepaid class membership, but could not attend due to some important family matters and the membership expired un-used. He would not consider and give me an extension of my membership. So all in all - did not like the service as well!

  • 5/5 Apr C. 1 year ago on Google
    I attended 200-hr YTT at Yoga Mala. Course outline was sufficient: Anatomy, Pranayama, Meditation, Asanas, Philosophy, Teaching. My favourite was practicing yoga and Yoga Nidra. Instructor Raj was very knowledgable, experienced and expert. Due to the small class size, we were given focus and full attention. I learned a lot from this training which can be very useful. I highly recommend Yoga Mala to those who would like to become a yoga teacher.

    Just completed my 200H Hatha Vinyasa YTT and I'm so glad I chose Yoga Mala! I originally chose the YTT for its very reasonable price and focus on anatomy, but came away with way more: a lovely batch of new friends, an introduction to the holistic mental, spiritual and physical practice of yoga (philosophy, anatomy, history), and of course way better alignment. Thank you Raj and Krunal for being patient, thorough and fun teachers who really practise what they preach and inspire me to teach yoga in the most authentic way possible. I really enjoyed anatomical explorations with Raj, learning how the asanas, pranayama, and other branches fit into yogic philosophy, and realising how to deepen my poses in Krunal's energetic and detailed classes. I would recommend the studio to anyone and am hoping to be back soon! (:

  • 5/5 Zimille A. 3 years ago on Google
    I just completed my YTT 200 and the smaller group during this period was nice. Raj and Krunal know Yoga from the roots and this is what I was looking for. We did not only focus on asanas but also we learned pranayama practices (breathing practices), yoga philosophy, history and yoga lifestyle. Raj was really patient, good teacher, knowledgeable and specialist in pranayama practices. Krunal is a very good yoga teacher especially in ashtanga. Overall good quality of class, teacher professional and knowledgeable, very good value for money. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Jeanne Teen (. 3 years ago on Google
    I have completed 200hrs YTT with Raj and Mien and graduated in Oct 2019. The YTT comprises the practice of Asana, Pranayama, Anatomy, Chanting, Meditation, Yama & Niyama, Yoga philosophy. We need to complete a daily journal, 10 yoga observation classes, 10 teachings, and exams. Raj is very knowledgeable in Asana and Anatomy. Raj is a strict yoga instructor. He respects the principle and originality of yoga. The development of yoga has been greatly influenced by dance moves and other factors, and Raj explained it to us how the posture has changed and what is the most primitive way of practicing yoga. Mien is specializing in Yoga Philosophy and Theory. It's really interesting to understand Yoga from another perspective, where we are not only practicing physically but it is also to understanding and improving our mental and spiritual self. I truly appreciate every lessons and time spent in Yoga Mala. Namaste.

    The BEST yoga experience ever. I bought this voucher on Fave and didn't have high expectations but I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of teachers and classes. Raj, the main instructor is really amazing. He helped me with my knee and back issues and customized postures for me during the class! I saw him give individual attention to all the students in his class. The classes are very small so you get enough space and personal attention from the teachers. Would highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Annabelle W. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best yoga studios I've found in Singapore, and a mainstay in my fitness/wellness routine after plenty of studio hopping on my fitness pass for the last three years. Classes by Mien and Raj are consistently fantastic, and a great way to unwind while deepening your practice at the same time. Their classes are a cosy size and strike a unique balance between being challenging yet safe, and grounding--because each practice encourages greater self-awareness and understanding. Mien and Raj been so helpful in my journey of personal development, and I can't recommend Yoga Mala highly enough!

    Did my Yoga Teacher Training 200Hours at Yoga Mala with Raj last year. He is very patient, dedicated and knowledgeable. Classes are small and conducive. Best decision to be training under him. The YTT course is challenging yet, rewarding. Thank you for the experience.

  • 5/5 Jing Zhi C. 5 years ago on Google
    I attended the 200hr full time YTT mainly taught by Raj. He was patient, knowledgable, and kind. I especially love the parts where he told stories about his yoga journey in India, Malaysia, etc. It made me realise that having an experienced YTT instructor really makes a huge difference. Content wise, the course was holistic in terms of its breadth, covering yamas, niyamas, asanas, pranayama, yoga history, philosphy, meditaton, yoga nidra (my favourite), and those who are open even got to practice various shatkarmas. On the whole, I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I like how everything was so authentic, and also how it's not an over-the-top hyped up experience. Just simple, down-to-earth, peaceful yoga. More than thankful for the experience. (Totally value for money!!!)

  • 5/5 kavya k. 5 years ago on Google
    I started my yoga practice here as a beginner and have now progressed to intermediate level with the help of the teachers here. The number of students per class is less and teachers give good amount of personal attention. The teachers are properly trained and certified, have solid grounding on the basics of yoga practice and even help the students with their spiritual practice like Yoga Nidra and meditations which goes beyond the normal asanas. Special mention to teachers like Mien and Raj who are always available for a deeper conversation or extra support to help a student get up to speed. I recommend this studio as this differs from most of the other commercial studios that one finds all over Singapore. Well rooted good glasses with qualified teachers.

    The place to relax after a long day's work! The instructors are sincere and they have a balance in moving you along within your own limits. Staff there are really helpful especially when there are personal scheduling issues! (Flexibility within reason) appreciate their efforts!

    I really enjoyed doing YTT at Yoga Mala. This experience has exposed me to the different aspects of yoga by allowing me to understand important fundamentals about anatomy, the origins of yoga, and enabled me to harness teaching skills. Our main instructor Raj is patient and knowledgeable, as he guided us through various lessons and exercises. Instructor Mien shared valuable insights and also allowed us to openly raise the questions we had about yoga. I had a positive experience at Yoga Mala and I looked forward to attending every session. I would recommend Yoga Mala to others!

    I had a great class with Raj even though it was a free class from a hotel. He was kind and careful teacher. I had wonderful experience at Singapore trip thanks to here.

    I really enjoyed my YTT experience at Yoga Mala. Raj is a holistic and experienced Yoga Instructor and created a great ambience. Although it was a huge time commitment across weeks it was something I looked forward to. It was also an enjoyable experience doing it with 6 other amazing ladies and we also had the pleasure of having a variety of classes with Mien. I not only look fondly back at my YTT training because of the people involved but also because of what I learned, from theories to practice, outdoor sessions to classroom sessions and from anatomy studies to physical adjustments. It's given me a breadth of knowledge and Yoga Mala offers an in-depth perspective. Doing your YTT at Yoga Mala will allow you to learn practical teaching skills and yoga studies, while enjoying at the same time.

😠 I am a beginner to reformer pilates and attended my second class which was taught by Celia. I was horrified and stressed throughout the class because she assumed everyone to be regulars, and did not give clear instructions or helped to guide the beginners in any way. Other than this, when i did not...

It’s been an amazing journey resuming exercise (post kids), starting from exercising just once a week to being active everyday doing a mix of strength, mobility, cardio program. During the depths of Covid and lockdown, Terri and Ufit were key...

😠 I've been a customer of Absolute for two years. It's not easy to get a slot. You've got to camp on the website a week before at 10pm. 99% of the time, your efforts will not pay off. It has became increasingly challenging since the COVID-19 restrictions were implemented. Yes, the classes are really...
