Chances are you’ve seen pictures of people doing yoga poses on your social media feeds with captions containing inspirational quotes and messages. Sure they look great but we here at What’s Neue believe that yoga is more than just pretty poses. For many people, yoga provides a retreat from their chaotic and busy lives. Yoga also provides many other mental and physical benefits.
Whether you’re someone who practises yoga daily or are in the midst of thinking about trying yoga out for the very first time, we here at What’s Neue are confident that the instructors at the following yoga studios will guide you every step of the way.
Here are some yoga studios that caught our attention:
#1. Dynamic Studio

Address: First Floor, Unit No 7, 8, 9, Block B, Lot 71168, Jln Gadong, Bandar Seri Begawan, BE1118
The Hatha classes provide an opportunity to stretch, unwind, and release tension, providing a good counterpoint to both busy lifestyles and cardio workouts. This gentle yoga focuses on static poses and is great for beginners.
“I love teaching Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga teaches us the awareness and connection of the body, mind and breath – it transcends the basic notion of ‘exercise’. I aspire for you to learn to love and appreciate your body more and more in my class. My class starts off with focused postural exercises and ends with breathwork and meditation,” said Jonathan Ng, one of the instructors at Dynamic Sports.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced yogi, JAB Gym’s yoga classes are designed to suit all levels of ability.

Address: Aman Complex, Unit 1, 1st floor, Jln Aman, Sungai Tilong
We just had to include The Nest in our list because we just fell in love with their tagline on Instagram – “By MUMS for MUMS.” Besides conducting wellness workshops (be it on breastfeeding or childbirth preparation), you can also find specialised yoga classes for ladies (prenatal yoga) and kids. Follow their IG account @thenest.bn for more information.
