Best yoga studios in Hong Kong

Go with the flow in this heated (literally) yoga studio. Flowga, a gorgeous rustic-meets-industrial fitness studio, offers 60-minute candle-lit sessions using state-of-the-art infra-red technology that keeps the studio at a scorching 35 to 40 degrees Celsius.

Hot yoga does come with its benefits; it aids your flexibility, as it makes it easier for muscles to stretch, and it increases your lung’s capacity for air over time. Do take note that the increased intensity and heat may not be a breeze for everyone, as it increases your chances of dehydration. If you are prone to exhaustion from heat or have underlying cardiovascular conditions, we suggest consulting a doctor beforehand.

For yoga sessions, the introductory offer ($500) provides one week of unlimited sessions, but you can also drop in for stand-alone sessions ($300). Flowga also offers different packages, such as one with unlimited classes ($2,000 per month).
