Named after the versatile baked good, Yoga Bagel offers a selection of dedicated classes, including Slimming and Detox. For even more focused sessions, founder and instructor Wing Yu targets body areas like the hips and hamstrings, or the shoulders and back. Meanwhile, the floor-to-ceiling windows of its Wan Chai studio provide mesmerising city views to practise your poses to.

For the more practised yogis looking to expand on the spiritual benefits of the discipline, Anahata Yoga offers more specialised forms, such as the Kundalini guided meditation technique. However, beginners will appreciate the Andiappan self-practise regime, which guides students in creating a simple personalised routine for daily practise at home.
