Best yoga classes in KL

If you’re looking to get some zen on the cheap, APW’s Uppercase organises weekly community yoga classes every Saturday morning for no charge. You’ll learn a ‘multilevel dynamic’ form of yoga with certified instructor Robyn Lau, an active yogi since 2005 known for her strong, energetic yoga flows. She’s also a teacher who strives on creating a supportive environment for her students – so don’t worry if you’re new to yoga. There’s no registration required, just come early and bring along your own yoga mat, and you’re all set for an hour of calm-inducing, stress-relieving yoga.

Free; Every Saturday from 9-10am.

Blanketed in muted shades of white, the Journey Within Studio doubles as both a yoga centre and book café. Not only can you attend their multiple yoga classes – including a Perfect Start yoga course that introduces the basics of flow-style yoga to relieve stress – but it’s also a place where fellow yogis can retreat to and meditate. If you’re not in the mood to attend a class but still wish to relax, nestle down with a book from their LIFEbrary, which has over 5,000 books covering topics like yoga, meditation and other holistic subjects.

 From RM40 per class.
