Chiangmai Yoga

4.7(132 reviews)

Chiangmai Yoga sits on Rachadamnoen Road in the Si Phum district, offering a calm, minimalist studio space where travellers and locals practice alongside yogis from around the world. The studio runs a range of styles including Hatha, Ashtanga, and flow and stretch classes, with instruction pitched at various experience levels — from complete beginners to committed practitioners. The teaching team, which includes instructors Toon, Aom, and Niponpat among others, is consistently noted for attentive, skilled guidance that balances structure with a welcoming atmosphere. The space itself is clean and simply designed, keeping the focus on practice rather than performance. Drop-in sessions are available, making it a practical option for travellers with limited time or unpredictable schedules — visitors have successfully joined single classes during short stays of just a few days. Classes tend to run at a genuine pace, offering a proper physical workout alongside the mindful elements that most people come to yoga for. Good to know: Specific opening hours are not listed online, so it is worth contacting the studio directly or stopping by in person to confirm current class times before building your schedule around a visit. The studio's drop-in policy makes it accessible without advance commitment, but checking availability ahead of time is sensible during busier travel periods.

Visitor Reviews

Practicing and attending sessions at ChiangMai Yoga has been the best present I’ve given myself in 2025. I attended 6 classes over a period of two weeks. I was struck by the level of kindness shown by every instructor. I have very poor flexibility on the left side of my body and around my knees, and despite learning yoga for over 18 months these areas of body are still stiff. But the way the instructors made the most challenging yoga positions accessible is remarkable. Momo, Ed and Air, all approach you with such genuine care to adjust you and help you get to a posture that’s challenging, it actually left me emotional at some point. It is definitely not beginners yoga :) that is if you’re in CM and just want to give it a try, then maybe brace yourself for a challenge. Thank you for making me get in touch with movement and my body in such a beautiful way.

I only had a few days in Chiang Mai but managed to fit in 3 classes with Toon and Aom. Both teachers were amazing. Some great Hatha and Ashtanga classes. Lovely strong, sweaty, well guided and fun yoga classes. I’d highly recommend going. The studio is also lovely and in a great position for meditation at a temple after (with appropriate clothing) or just a lovely breakfast. I’d recommend the butterfly effect. There’s a lovely thing with the studio that makes you feel like you’re in a calm and peaceful space with the bustling world outside. I loved it. Also met some lovely yogis 🙏🏻 and I did my first head stands in 5 years 😎 Thanks all. See you again

practicing Ashtanga Yoga 🧘‍♀️ in quiet focus alongside yogis from all over the world 🌍. Deep gratitude to Coach Amo for her professionalism and patience. With her rich experience and keen observation, she clearly recognized both my physical challenges and strengths, offering sincere and practical guidance throughout the practice. Feeling truly grateful 🙏 and cherishing these moments of pure presence and dedication.

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas

Learn Wat Pho First

Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.

Communicate Pressure Preferences

Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.

Book Longer Sessions

A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
