Looking for a place to get into downward dog in Bangkok? Keeping up with your fitness routine while on the road is important and the same goes for us yogis. Even if you don’t have a steady yoga practice, you may want to consider taking up yoga once you land in your destination. Sitting on a plane for hours causes your circulation to basically coagulate and yoga will help loosen up your muscles and get the blood flowing properly again. I’ve compiled a list of yoga studios in Bangkok that you can visit for the day. Here are my picks:
1. Lullaby Yoga
Offers various styles of yoga from Vinyasa Yoga to Hot Yoga, Yin Yoga and Iyengar Yoga.
Single drop-in class: 700 baht

Can you recommend some books or guides you read before traveling or was it all by word of mouth?
Thanks!
I use Lonely Planet, lots of travel forums including TripAdvisor, and Twitter. The travel community is very active on Twitter and it’s easy to get info that way. Be sure to follow me on Twitter!
Thanks for these address. I didn’t know Iyengar yet ! I’ll try to visit it soon
