Just when you thought Orchard Road had it all, along comes Lululemon with a fresh new reason to roll out your mat and your wallet. The global athleisure giant is officially opening its first yoga and Pilates studio-integrated concept store in Southeast Asia – right in the heart of Takashimaya Shopping Centre – on July 17. Think retail therapy with a reformer twist.
But hold up – this isn't your standard leggings-and-lighting situation. Co-created with Betty Kong, founder of local mindfulness studio Within, this dreamy new space is a place to sweat, stretch, self-reflect, and of course, shop. As Kong herself puts it, “This space is a love letter to everything I’ve learned about slowing down.”
Designed to soothe the senses as much as it strengthens your core, the space pairs warm oak finishes with geometric lighting and shophouse-inspired ceiling lattices. Even the changing rooms are soft-lit and serene, giving off the kind of energy that makes you want to stay a little longer.
While lululemon has recently made moves across Singapore – from west-side JEM to a travel-friendly outpost at Changi Airport Terminal 1 – this flagship feels like the brand’s spiritual home. A blend of intention and innovation, it’s a space where you don’t just look like you're on a wellness journey, you actually are.
Expect a full schedule of yoga and reformer Pilates classes, similar to the ones at Within's Tanjong Katong studio, running daily from 8am to 8pm. Whether you're a bendy pro or here to find zen, there's a class for you. Bookings open eight days in advance, so fastest fingers first. Find out more here.
