The newest studio on Chiang Mai’s yoga scene, Yuu sets a high bar for calm, contemporary design and mindful luxury.

A talented roster of Thai instructors leads classes in ‘Hatha Flow’, ‘Vinyasa Mobility’, ‘Yin Yoga’, and classic sound healing, each blending expert guidance with a gentle, restorative rhythm.

Outside of the inner sanctuary, linger over a choice of homemade, sugar-free welcome drinks – from cucumber mint to lemongrass ginger infusions – or unwind next door at Dorle, the studio’s elegant cafe serving coffee, tea and pastries in a tranquil garden setting. Sleek, sensory and restorative, Yuu is a breath of fresh air for Chiang Mai’s wellness community.

Found slap bang in Chiang Mai’s Old City, Wild Rose occupies a charming old teak house that’s survived modernisation, instantly evoking a sense of stepping back in time. With over a decade on the scene, this studio is both a local institution and a magnet for committed yogis.

Named after its founder, Rose, who still runs the space with a warm welcome and a friendly chat before class, the studio has built a loyal following for its strong, grounded practice. Classes are intentionally small – limited to just 13 students per session – and must be booked in advance via their website. Alongside daily Vinyasa and alignment-based classes, the schedule includes sound baths and sound healing sessions paired with yoga to create a unique blend of intensity and restoration. With its polished wood floors, antique windows and Rose’s signature warmth, Wild Rose remains one of Chiang Mai’s most authentic and soulful spaces to practice.
