Yoga Movement
The most unique feature of this yoga studio, set up by local songstress Alicia Pan, is that it allows people to buy single lessons instead of being saddled with payments for expensive packages. It also donates a part of its proceeds of its Sunday Monster Hot class to ACRES, a wildlife conservation society — definitely a fitness studio with heart.

Yoga Movement is at 31A & 33A New Bridge Road. Classes start at $20. Log on to www.yogamovement.com.sg for more.
