Lee Hyori Launches New Yoga Studio in Seoul: A Transformative Experience
Lee Hyori, renowned singer and entertainer, has made a remarkable entry into the wellness scene with the opening of her yoga studio in Seoul, specifically Ananda Yoga. The inaugural class, held on September 8, has been met with exceptional acclaim from participants.
Situated in Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, this new space offers more than just yoga; it aims to foster healing and community. Before the session commenced, Lee Hyori established a mindful environment, requesting: “No photos or videos during practice. After class, you may take photos freely, but please understand I can only take group photos with everyone rather than individual shots.” This approach underlines her commitment to creating a focused and sacred practice.

The feedback from those who attended has been overwhelmingly positive. Many expressed admiration for the instructor, with some stating, “Teacher Hyori is so beautiful” and “It was such a good class.” Others shared more personal reflections, such as one student who, after experiencing difficulties in her instructor journey, articulated, “Today’s class helped heal the wounds I carried. I feel like my heart is mending.” This highlights the profound emotional connection that can be formed in a supportive yoga environment.
Another participant took the time to write a touching letter to Lee Hyori, expressing: “Last year, I found my lifelong partner after 40 years. This year, I met you in class. Having one such precious memory each year is enough to keep me happy for a long time.” Such testimonials reflect the deep community bond that Ananda Yoga is forging.

In a charming gesture of community spirit, Lee Hyori also distributed traditional gaeeop-tteok (celebratory rice cakes) to local residents to commemorate the studio’s opening, capturing the essence of togetherness.
Lee Hyori is no stranger to the world of yoga; she opened her first studio in Jeju back in 2016, integrating yoga into her lifestyle while living there for several years. Now, as she returns to Seoul, both fans and wellness enthusiasts are eager to see how she merges her celebrity status with her passion for yoga, transforming Ananda Yoga into a sanctuary for physical and emotional well-being.
