"Namaste!". Singer Lee Hyori has opened a yoga studio and transformed into "Ananda teacher," and positive reviews are pouring in.
Recently, various reviews from students have been shared on Ananda Yoga Studio's official SNS account. Ananda Yoga Studio is a yoga studio Lee Hyori opened in Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun District, Seoul. As a result, one-day class students lined up, and after a furious clicking battle reminiscent of concert ticketing, students who secured spots have been revealing their reviews. The official account shared these, drawing fans' attention.
A male fan left a cute review that made people laugh, saying, "After yoga I had a short conversation with nuna. After that conversation I was so nervous that I forgot to take the group photo and left." Another student expressed surprise at seeing Lee Hyori up close for the first time, saying, "She is so so so pretty that I was greatly surprised, and I was a bit surprised by how my body went deeper than usual, an unforgettable practice."
Meanwhile, an internet user who said, "My body isn't very flexible so I avoided yoga because I was embarrassed by not doing it well. But yoga with Ananda teacher has a magic that lets you do it confidently even if you do it wrong," appeared, igniting a desire to enroll in regular classes beyond the one-day session.
One student left a heartfelt review full of sensitivity, saying, "I entered last and was lucky to sit in the very front. When I opened my eyes, Ananda teacher was in front of me. Above there was a pretty tree. The space was filled with a pleasant scent. A cool breeze came from somewhere. The high ceiling made it feel like exercising outdoors. I was happy — could a day be this good?" and "I hope to meet again through yoga someday. Thank you for the wonderful time."
Other witty reviews poured in that made fans laugh, such as "Hyori teacher's class is suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced. But she is relentless with advanced students," "Thank you for loosening and helping stiff me with yoga," and "It was the first time I saw a studio owner shout Namaste so energetically."
Since debuting with girl group Fin.K.L and through her solo career, Lee Hyori has long been a "superstar," and it seems she has stepped into the public's daily life through yoga. Although Lee Hyori previously ran a yoga studio in Jeju in 2016, she now boasts even greater influence in Seoul, where more people gather.
Of course, she had raised her voice on social issues before and shown a friendly approach, but opportunities to meet the general public who were not actual fans were rare for Lee Hyori. Her move to come a step closer as "Ananda teacher" has therefore sparked more curiosity.
