Lee Hyori's Yoga Studio Touches Hearts with a Thoughtful Gift
A heartwarming story from the yoga studio run by singer Lee Hyori is capturing the attention of many. A member gifted Lee Hyori a special, handmade yoga block, and the story behind it has been shared on social media, adding to the warmth.
A One-of-a-Kind Walnut Yoga Block
On October 21st, Lee Hyori's yoga studio, 'Ananda Yoga,' shared reviews from students who recently participated in classes through its official social media account. Among them, one student's post particularly stood out. This student revealed that she had gifted Lee Hyori a custom-made yoga block crafted by her husband.
"Since I was taking a class with Ananda Teacher, my husband made a yoga block out of walnut wood as a gift. It's a one-of-a-kind yoga block in the world."
The student shared this in her review, emphasizing the uniqueness of the walnut yoga block. She also mentioned that it is quite heavy due to being made of solid wood.
More Like a Yoga Brick Than a Yoga Block?
An interesting point is the weight of this yoga block. The student wittily expressed in her review:
"Because it's made of solid wood, it's as heavy as a brick, so it's more like a yoga brick than a yoga block. Teacher Hyori said it's like a wooden pillow."
Typical yoga blocks are often made of lightweight and portable foam or cork. However, this gifted yoga block is made of solid walnut wood, boasting a weighty feel like a brick. Lee Hyori, upon receiving it, responded with a witty remark, saying it was like a wooden pillow.
Lee Hyori's Gift Policy
In fact, shortly after opening her yoga studio, Lee Hyori politely requested members not to send gifts. At the time, she shared the following message on social media:
"I am sincerely grateful for your kind hearts, but I will only accept your warm thoughts. I want to keep the studio space open for more people to practice."
Lee Hyori expressed her desire to maintain the studio as a purely yoga practice space. Her message conveyed her sincerity in wanting to focus on the classes themselves with the members, rather than gifts.
Ananda Yoga Studio's Operations
Lee Hyori opened 'Ananda Yoga' studio in Yeonhui-dong, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul, last September. The studio name 'Ananda' means 'bliss' or 'joy' in Sanskrit, embodying the meaning of finding true happiness and peace through yoga.
Yoga classes are taught directly by Lee Hyori and operate on a reservation basis. The one-day class held in September was immediately sold out upon opening, reflecting high popularity. This reflects not only Lee Hyori's fame but also the high interest in her yoga philosophy.
Regular Classes Starting at 6:30 AM
Since October, it has been operating on a regular membership basis. Classes are held twice every morning: the first session from 6:30 AM to 7:30 AM, and the second session from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM.
Each class lasts for one hour, and Lee Hyori directly guides the members. Despite the early morning classes, many people are participating, showing how popular Lee Hyori's classes are.
Spreading a Philosophy of Life Through Yoga
Lee Hyori's operation of the yoga studio goes beyond mere business; it carries the significance of sharing her philosophy of life. She has found inner peace and balance through yoga for a long time, and now she wants to share that experience with others.
In particular, her attitude of politely declining gifts while gratefully accepting the members' hearts reveals the yoga philosophy of valuing sincerity and practice itself more than material things.
A Special Gift Created by a Warm Connection
This story of the walnut yoga block gift is an example of the warm relationship between Lee Hyori and her members. Although Lee Hyori declined the gift, this special gift filled with the sincerity of the member and her husband added warmth to the studio.
The one-of-a-kind walnut yoga block shows that Lee Hyori's yoga studio is more than just an exercise space; it is a space where heartfelt connections between people are made. We look forward to seeing these warm stories continue at Ananda Yoga Studio.
