I started to practice yoga about three years ago.
After a very hectic period time, I was both mentally and physically exhausted, so I decided to find a routine sports that Force me to keep going.
Introduced by a friend, I joined Bikram Hot Yoga at Harbor Front . For someone who total has no experience in yoga, I was nearly killed in the first session.
It was overall great exercise, but the studio run by Australian lady, was closed abruptly and the members were forced to transfer to True Yoga. True Yoga is much bigger set up.
True Yoga has great teachers, but the management is rather unstable. The management team was recently changed. Even though it was recently I wasn't comfortable with their overly aggressive salesmen and noisy and crowded changing room. By the end of membership with True Yoga, I moved to Real Yoga, (it is funny that all the Yoga Studio in Singapore are named as such, "True", "Real", "Pure" etc, to claim their authenticity I suppose).
The Real Yoga, to my surprise, it is lot more harder than Bikram Hot Yoga, no wonder, my previous Yoga instructor Maxus always refers Bikram as Beginner's yoga. With Real Yoga's class, I feel there are more spiritual elements than physical, Bikram can be really exhausting , but with Real Yoga, I don't feel so tired after exercise, but rather feel spiritually calmed and energized.
