When you’re trying out yoga for the first time, there’s plenty to consider. The last thing you want is to be in a class so packed, you find yourself elbowing a fellow student, or worse, looking around in bewilderment as everyone transits seamlessly from crow to headstand.
To help you ease into your practice, here are four beginner-friendly boutique yoga studios we love. They offer small class sizes, cosy environments and most importantly, patient teachers so that you can concentrate on reaping the health benefits of yoga.

Tirisula Yoga: Founded On Traditions
If you’re a complete beginner to yoga and hoping to start your journey right, Tirisula is a great option. Priding themselves as one of the longest-standing studios around — 14 years and counting, the studio aims to upkeep the traditions of yoga as they have been.
Students can expect to experience different genres of yoga, including traditional Hatha in various levels, Ashtanga-led, Flow, as well as Arm Balancing and Inversion classes.
In addition, they offer the Mindful Meditation & Breathing class, which focuses on a slightly less physical aspect of yoga.
Apart from group classes, the yoga studio is also known for its yoga teacher training programmes, so you know you’re in good hands!
On how yoga benefits health:
“Yoga is essentially a lifestyle that anyone can adopt. It is more than just a physical practice on the mat. When you breathe consciously to calm down during a moment of anger, that’s yoga. When you choose to take care of your body, that’s yoga. And so, yoga benefits one’s health by helping you live a life mindfully and with intention.” –Suffian Thuri, Yoga Instructor at Tirisula Yoga
