Singer Lee Hyo-ri is launching a yoga studio in Seoul in early September, her agency Antenna confirmed Friday.

Named Ananda Yoga, the studio is located in Seodaemun District, western Seoul, and will accept students for three sessions per day through reservations, according to its Instagram account.

Lee, a longtime yoga enthusiast, has shared her passion for the practice on variety shows for over a decade.

The studio’s name, Ananda, is also the alter ego Lee has used for her yoga persona since 2023. She even had it tattooed on her body.

Ananda means extreme happiness in Hinduism.
