proper biz will inform members in advance before closing. in this case, the biz started selling packages really cheaply and this probably means one thing, "lao yi bi" before closing.

Yoga Class in one of spacious yoga studio @Circular Road near Boat Quay

Yoga Mala is a yoga studio located in the heart of Singapore. With emphasis on breathing techniques and meditation,Yoga Mala practices thoughtful and reflexive yoga to promote both physical and mental well-being.

Yoga Mala runs day-to-day yoga classes,yoga teacher training programmes and also focus on community outreach and engagement with all walks of life in an effort to create a more positive environment for all of us.

When used in yoga and meditation, it becomes a powerful tool in one’s quest for wellness and clarity. Like the mala, our vision is to thread various individuals together by bringing them to a common platform through yoga so that all may achieve peace, good health and growth in all aspects- mind, body and soul.

Anyone has review about following yoga studios?

1. Meraki Yoga
2. Space & Light studio
3. Bikram Yoga at HbF

Prefer those attentive instructors and wanted to challenge myself to go for inversions.
Thinking of switching after finishing my membership with Sadhana for another month.. Sadly some of the great instructors from there have quit :(.. I was tempted to sign with True Yoga, but read too much negative review about their service.
hi u can try iha yoga. Their instructors are pretty attentive and will keep challenging you to do harder stuff as time pass and they get to know u more. Currently now trying crow n grasshopper pose.

I see Yoga Mala has posted a few posts here on their Yoga Teacher Training course, and I want to share my very disappointing experience here.
-----------------------------------------------
I strongly DO NOT recommend their Yoga Teacher Training Course

This is a long one, detailing my experience in their Teacher Training Course. In short, please go somewhere else for Yoga Teacher Training and NOT Yoga Mala. Please read for the details and hope it helps you with your decision.

=============================================

I joined their part time YTT course for 3 simple reasons - it’s a part time course (I have a full time job), I want to learn about alignments for Yoga poses, and they have a 20 hours practical training in their studio for new students.

Yes, I do learn about alignment and the main course is primarily focused on anatomy and alignment. This is what I wanted, but for others, it felt like there is no balance in terms of the syllabus.

In general, the lecture sessions are not motivating nor enthusiastic. We have to ask and prompt for more information most of the time. Usually when questions are asked, most of the time, it will be asked back to us to get our thoughts. Don’t get me wrong, I see the point in getting us to think of answer, but it felt like we have to “earned” or “work hard” for an answer. Towards the end of the course, we have to request for additional day to come back in to learn about adjustments because they couldn’t complete it in time. For something that they told us will take 2 full days, was then cut down to 6 hours. Of which, 1.5 hours was spent with them asking us for good feedback and video recording us doing that. Some of us were reluctant to do it and informed them that we would prefer to email them instead. The lead trainer gave us a very unhappy face and snapped at one of us when she quietly approached him later. I find this very unprofessional.

Now that we have completed the course, exams and practical test, we have to get on with our 20 hours of practical - teaching in the studio before we can receive our certificate. Unfortunately, I have to move countries, and leaving Singapore for good - which I have informed them 3 months ahead (moving in Dec). Since they were renovating a studio room, I got notice of teaching only in October (1 month later). Since there are only 2 months, and a once a week teaching in their studio, I have brought up that I will only complete 8 classes and couldn’t complete all 20 hours.

Long story short, they have implemented that me and my coursemates to complete 10 hours teaching OUTSIDE of their studio, instead of 20 hours. You may think that - that’s awesome - 10 hours instead of 20 hours. But, we have to video record all of our classes, it has to show our students which most people declined to be videoed. On top of that, we have to find students, search for a venue, arrange for a time where people can come, indemnity forms to be signed - a lot more hassle compared to teaching in their studio.

Unfortunately, Yoga Mala did not want to discuss or negotiate anymore with me or my course mates. I find this very irresponsible of a yoga studio. Further to that, we have to schedule us (course mates) to attend each other’s classes just in case no one turns up. Instead of spending 10 hours teaching, based on the schedule, I will be spending a total of 28 hours - teaching and attending my course mates’ classes.

In the end, I wrote to Yoga Mala to say I cannot not complete the 10 hours as they have made changes to the requirement from the time I applied and on the syllabus that they have given me. Since I am moving from Singapore in December, I rather spend quality time with my friends and family, rather than harbouring all these negativity towards this studio. I am very very disappointed with the whole experience.

I have made full payment, passed the written and practical exams and I will NOT receive my certificate because I did not complete my practical teaching hours due to THEM making the changes - teaching outside of their yoga studio, and video recording students.
