Lee Hyori sets strict rule at her 6 billion won yoga studio, bans photos and videos during practice and only allows one group photo

— by

Lee Hyori has laid down clear rules at her newly opened yoga studio.

On September 8, the official SNS of her yoga studio Ananda posted a notice saying:
“Photos and videos are not allowed before and during practice. You may take pictures freely after the session ends.”

Lee Hyori also added, “Since it’s hard for me to take pictures with everyone one by one, I will only take a group photo after practice. The group photo can be downloaded from the Ananda homepage.”

The singer officially opened Ananda in Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul. While classes were originally scheduled to begin earlier this month, booking system delays pushed the start date, and the first class was finally held on the morning of the 8th.

Each session costs 35,000 won, a price similar to one-day programs at other yoga studios but relatively affordable compared to other celebrity-run centers.

Lee Hyori has also firmly rejected sponsorships and gifts, explaining: “I politely decline all sponsorships and offers. I want to create a quiet and focused atmosphere for practice. Please understand that I cannot reply to everyone individually."

She added, "I also kindly refuse further flowerpots or gifts. I only accept your warm feelings. To allow more people to practice, we aim for an empty, open practice room.”

With her unique approach and grounded philosophy, Lee Hyori continues to set herself apart as she welcomes students into her yoga studio.
