✨ REAL YOGA PREMIUM – RAFFLES CITY ✨
I’ve tried two classes here — Hot Hatha (Minsan) and Arm Inversion & Handstand (Arya) — so here’s my thoughts 💭👇
💨 Hot Hatha with Minsan
Class size was around 12 pax, calm and beginner-friendly. It’s slow-paced, great for stretching, but personally... I didn’t enjoy the “hot” part 🥵 It wasn’t hot enough compared to other hot studios I’ve been to... felt more like a normal room with no aircon than an actual heated class.
Also, they charge $2 for yoga towel and $1 for face towel rental, which feels was unnecessary since I barely even sweat.
🤸♀️ Arm Inversion & Handstand with Arya
Now this class... I LOVED. It’s definitely more intermediate, and class size was only 4 pax so it felt super personal. Arya was very hands-on, guiding everyone through different inversions and spotting us carefully. I usually struggle with inversions because I'm scare asf upside down, but he managed to help me hold a handstand for 20 seconds 😭🔥 I felt so safe with his spotting and actually saw real progress in just one class. my fear of inversion vanished that day becuz he spotted me sooo safely, I js trusted him and kicked up.
🏝️ Studio vibes
Luxury boutique vibes — clean, bright, and modern. Even provided hair perfume, Facilities include lockers, showers, water cooler, and fitting rooms. Everything looks new and well-maintained.
🧘♀️ Crowd & Community
The crowd feels very CBD — office workers and taitais. But everyone was surprisingly friendly! Members even chatted with me and invited me to join their next class. You can really feel a strong, welcoming community here haha
💸 Pricing
I went via ClassPass (10 credits, ~$21), but I heard the actual membership package is way more worth — around $180/month, which works out to less than $10/class if you go 4–5 times a week. There’s also a 1-month trial membership for $88, but best to check with the studio if it’s still available!
📍/Real Yoga Premium - Raffles City
Super convenient — inside Raffles City, just next to City Hall MRT, and parking’s easy too.
💭 Overall thoughts:
I’d recommend Real Yoga Premium for intermediate yogis looking for a high-end yet friendly studio in the CBD. The community vibe and instructor quality are amazing, but the hot classes could use a bit more heat 😅
💬 Personally, I’d skip the hot classes but would 100% go back for Arya’s inversion sessions. If I near the area, I wld honestly consider getting their membership!
If you’re considering Real Yoga Premium at Raffles City, here are some additional insights based on my experiences and what I’ve gathered. The studio’s location inside Raffles City offers unbeatable convenience for those working or living in the CBD, with easy MRT access and parking options, making it a stress-free visit whether you drop in after work or on weekends. Beyond the two classes I tried, the studio offers flexible membership plans catering to different needs, including a one-month unlimited trial for $88, which is a great way to explore their full range of classes without long-term commitment. For regular attendees, their membership pricing is surprisingly affordable given the premium facilities and central location. Speaking of facilities, the locker usage policy is important to note. Lockers are for day use only, and unattended items may be cleared by staff at the end of the day, so it’s best to bring only essentials and plan accordingly. Classes vary in intensity — the Hot Hatha class didn’t generate the high heat I expected, which might be a plus or a minus depending on your preference. However, if you’re into inversion work, Arya's small, hands-on sessions are a gem for building confidence and strength safely. The community vibe is friendly and welcoming, which I find crucial in maintaining motivation and enjoying your practice. The mix of office workers and taitais added a unique charm to the studio atmosphere, making it less intimidating for newcomers. Lastly, the studio’s perks like hair perfume, lockers, showers, and water coolers add comfort to your yoga experience. If you value a clean, modern, and luxury boutique vibe, Real Yoga Premium definitely fits that bill. Overall, for anyone intermediate or beyond looking for a well-equipped, friendly, and conveniently located yoga studio in Singapore, Real Yoga Premium at Raffles City is worth checking out.
