I was wondering if anyone who has done or regularly does yoga in Kunming could give me some advice. I found listings for yoga places on this website and other places, but very little accompanying information. Does anyone know of one place that is especially good or cheap?

Im also interested in doing any sort of exercise class (I like to exercise with others), so any advice or recommendations welcome!

Oh, and I am a young American girl who speaks enough Chinese to get by in an all-Chinese class or one with more Westerners.

Hi,

I can recommend this place for nice surroundings and good teaching.

If you mention that Lin bairei's friend recommended you that may help too.

Good Luck!

I will be visiting Kunming for two weeks during the Chinese New Year holidays but I'm wondering if I can find any drop-in or pay-per-class type of yoga classes to continue my practice while I'm there? Thanks!

There is a Yoga studio in the middle of Green Lake. It is called fashion Yoga. The atmosphere down there is quite good as it is attached to a tea house after the lessons you can sit next to the lake and drink some tea for free. The teachers are Yogis from India. I think they teach very tradional indian Yoga. Lesson language is usually English. Only two of them speak Chinese so they will hold lessons bilingual. They have classes for different levels everyday.
I think 60Yuan for one lesson is quite expensive. But that is how much you pay for Yoga in Kunming.

There is another Yoga studio on Renminlu. It is called Yutao Yoga. The teaching is also very good and the price is about the same if not more expensive.
