Pure Yoga

Hong Kong engages a big yoga scene. Nevertheless, thanks to our commercial gene, the simple practice shifts to big names for social status labelling.
PURE means you can afford dear workout in prime shopping malls or office building locations. It represents your lifestyle is also health-​concerned apart from hard working and heavy drinking. Lululemon means you know how to dress to work out, with some ‘fashion taste’.
I started yoga in a gym and finished my teacher training in India. I tried three digits number studios all over the world. Upon returning to Hong Kong, I miss a hidden studio focus on advanced level classes and emphasis Kirtan on every Friday nights. And full of celebrity teachers’ workshop on weekends.
Pure’s class range and levels still remain most complicated local wise. It is original Bikram style, later developed into a all-​in fitness group. They cover hatha, vinysa, ashtanga, power, universal, yoga therapy… to my loving Jivamukti, Forrest style. It is impressive by just looking at their weekly schedule.
The Langham studio offers quite a few advanced courses with renowned instructors. Martina wakes you up in the morning 90 minutes universal session, Samret handles all the comprehensive positions.
They provide one time free trial. And nobody mentioned, but their well-​facilitated shower and changing room plays like a second home for all the ladies.

Every now and then when life gets to crazy, and you need to unwind… the perfect way is with a good yoga class. PURE Yoga is one of the best studios you’ll find in Hong Kong. There’s classes in all different levels and its not intimidating at all to those just beginning.
The classes are all on a schedule that is available online through their website. I love how convenient it is to make a booking for a class in all locations. One thing I should mention is that if you’re looking to go to one of the more popular classes, like Hot Flow… make sure you book two days before. That is the earliest time allowed to make a booking for any class. The classes will fill up quick, so get on it and make sure you secure a spot either online or over the phone by calling their studio.
PURE Yoga at Langham is a very large space. There are a number of studios located one level below the reception and locker rooms. The lighting here is very warm and the relaxing. I instantly get a bit calmer once the elevator doors open to their smiling staff greeting you.
Unlike PURE Fitness, workout gear is not provided to you. Be sure to bring your own workout clothes. If you are also a member of PURE Fitness, you can just go one level down on the elevator and borrow from them which is very convenient. I do notice that the conditions of the showers are not as great as it is in other locations. There are times where some stalls are out of order… and other times, I just see some build up that needed to be cleaned.
The instructors here are fantastic!!! I know most the yoga instructors for PURE go around the different locations, so this says a lot about the company as a whole. Very skilled and approachable instructors that enhance your yoga experience with them. thumbs up!
