Singer Lee Hyori transformed into a yoga teacher and finished her first class, and students' reviews are pouring in. Lee Hyori, who has created countless syndromes over the years, is drawing attention to whether she will spark a yoga boom this time.
The yoga studio Lee Hyori runs, "Ananda," started its first class on the 8th. A "veteran" who has practiced yoga for more than 10 years, Lee Hyori has shown scenes of calming and healing her mind and body through yoga on entertainment programs and social accounts.
Lee Hyori, who had operated a yoga studio in Jeju since 2016, drew attention as this was her first studio to open in Seoul after leaving Jeju. In particular, the price of 35,000 won (day pass) without a celebrity premium was praised as reasonable, and Lee Hyori said, "I just moved the place, but I didn't expect to receive such great attention."
As she is "yoga teacher Ananda," not "celebrity Lee Hyori," she posted a special notice to focus on yoga. Lee Hyori said, "Photos and videos are prohibited before and during practice. You may freely take photos after practice. However, I can't take individual photos of everyone, so I will only take group photos with me after practice. Group photos can be downloaded from the Ananda website."
After finishing the first class, Lee Hyori appeared on a radio program hosted by her husband Lee Sang-soon on the 9th and left her impressions. Lee Hyori said, "Opening a yoga studio in Seoul felt a little different. I started yesterday and did it four times through today. Because it had been a while, I couldn't remember well. I was flustered about what to teach," and added, "If people come to see Lee Hyori and feel 'yoga is attractive,' that's good, and if they come here and then register at a neighborhood yoga studio, that would be best."
Since the opening, active operations at Lee Hyori's yoga studio have led to continuing reviews. "Thank you for a good class," "It was great to learn my body's condition through basic postures. The studio has good lighting and is quiet, and Hyori teacher's soft voice made it a comfortable class," "Even yoga beginners can do it, very good," "I thought I wouldn't be able to focus on yoga because I'm a fan, but I was surprised at how well I could concentrate," "I started yoga thanks to the beautiful teacher," "Hyori teacher is truly warm," "Just radiant Hyori unni, she gave me peace and joy for an hour," "She told me to practice alone next time because I'm good, saying not to come, but I'll go again," and other reviews stood out.
Among them, it is not hard to find people who have started yoga or restarted it, drawing attention to the "yoga boom" and "yoga syndrome" that Lee Hyori might create.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyori is married to singer Lee Sang-soon. Last year, they purchased a single lot of land adjacent to a detached house in Pyeongchang-dong, Jongno District, Seoul, for 6.005 billion won in all cash. The house, consisting of one basement floor and two aboveground floors, has a total floor area of about 100 pyeong, and the equity is three-quarters for Lee Hyori and one-quarter for Lee Sang-soon.
