One Studio. Many Ways In.
Functional yoga does not mean one style. It means every style on the schedule is working toward the same thing — a more capable, better-regulated version of you.
One of the questions we get most often from new students is some version of: which class should I start with? It is a good question. Our schedule spans high-intensity dynamic flow through precision alignment work through long passive holds — and those feel very different to be inside.
The answer depends on what you need. But understanding why we offer this range in the first place makes the choice clearer.
The same destination, different roads
Every class on our schedule is designed to develop the same core capacities: body awareness, breath regulation, attentional control, and the ability to stay present under some form of load. What changes is the type of load and the mechanism used to generate it.
A dynamic, high-intensity Vinyasa class develops those capacities through cardiovascular challenge and the need to maintain quality of attention while the body is working hard. A precision alignment class develops them through stillness, detail, and the kind of concentration required to track subtle sensation. A Yin class develops them through long sustained holds that require you to find a workable relationship with discomfort and simply wait.
These are different entry points to the same system. The more of them you work with over time, the more complete the practice becomes.
Strength, sweat, and continuous movement. Challenging sequencing that demands full engagement throughout. The cardiovascular load is real; so is the attentional demand.
Precise, intelligent work on structure and mechanics. Slower than flow, more demanding than it appears. Builds proprioceptive awareness and corrects the patterns that cause most people's aches.
The broad middle of the schedule — accessible, progressive, energising. Good for building consistency and developing a reliable practice foundation.
Long holds, supported positions, genuine stillness. Works connective tissue and the parasympathetic nervous system in ways that active practice cannot reach. More difficult than it looks.
Where to start
If you are new to yoga or returning after a break, the gentler Vinyasa and Hatha classes are the right starting point. They will build the physical vocabulary you need without overwhelming you. Yoga Lego, our beginner-specific class, is specifically designed for people coming in with no prior experience.
If you have an existing practice and want to go deeper rather than harder, the alignment and Yin classes will give you things that flow classes typically do not — more precise self-knowledge, more sustainable movement patterns, and a different quality of attention altogether.
If you are a consistent practitioner who has plateaued or lost motivation, the answer is usually to move across the spectrum rather than do more of the same thing. Introducing Yin to a predominantly dynamic practice — or adding technically demanding alignment work — consistently reignites people's relationship with their practice.
A note on teachers
We are deliberately not a single-style studio. Our teachers bring Vinyasa, Sivananda, Hatha, and Yin — and genuine depth in each. What they share is a commitment to honest, intelligent teaching rather than performance. The class should feel like it was designed for the people in the room, not for a camera.
The best way to find your home here is to try a few different classes. The schedule runs seven days a week. The first class is the most useful data point you can gather.
Yogatique is located at 116/8 Sukhumvit 23 (Soi Prasan Mit), Asoke, Bangkok. Our studio operates with a maximum capacity of 20 students per class — bookings open through our booking site.
