On April 1, Lee Hyori shared an official notice through the studio’s social media account, marking the 8-month anniversary of Ananda Yoga Studio, located in Seoul. While expressing gratitude to attendees, she also introduced additional guidelines aimed at maintaining a respectful and orderly environment.
Among the most notable rules, Lee Hyori emphasized that any physical contact without consent—such as holding hands or touching the body—is strictly prohibited. She also banned all photo and video recording during classes, allowing filming only before or after sessions.
The singer further clarified operational details, including a 100% reservation system for early morning classes at 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM, while evening sessions with other instructors allow walk-ins. Entry is permitted starting 10 minutes before each class.
Additional guidelines include a no-parking policy within the building, encouraging visitors to use public transportation or nearby paid parking facilities. She also politely declined requests for personal photos or autographs inside the studio.
Lee Hyori also addressed etiquette and environmental considerations, asking visitors to maintain a calm atmosphere by minimizing loud conversations before class. The studio allows pets, but owners must ensure proper behavior, including using diapers if necessary and avoiding bringing anxious or noisy animals.
The new rules reflect Lee Hyori’s intention to create a focused and respectful space for yoga practice, especially after encountering unexpected situations during the studio’s operation.
Since opening in Yeonhui-dong last year, the yoga studio has gained significant popularity, with class passes reportedly selling out immediately upon release. Lee Hyori herself actively participates in teaching, further boosting public interest.
Her latest announcement highlights the growing need for clear boundaries in celebrity-run spaces, as well as the importance of mutual respect between public figures and visitors.
