Kuala Lumpur, 31 October 2023 — Jal Yoga, Singapore’s premier 3-in-1 Yoga, Pilates, and Barre concept studio is making history as the first Asian yoga brand to expand into multiple countries, including Malaysia and Indonesia. Founded in January 2018 by Pardeep Fogat and his wife Jasmine Loh, Jal Yoga has swiftly become a guiding light for individuals on a transformative journey to discover their innate potential.
One of their standout contributions to the wellness landscape is Jal Yoga’s introduction of Infrared Heat Yoga, celebrated for its therapeutic properties, with benefits including — but not limited to — improved circulation, flexibility, and cellular health, as well as healthier skin. Infrared heat yoga also has the added benefit of helping reduce cellulite, and providing a workout which helps with weight loss and pain management. This innovative approach to yoga promotes physical healing and deepens the mind-body connection. Jal Yoga remains steadfast in sharing the profound benefits of Infrared Heat Yoga with the Malaysian community, contributing to a healthier and harmonious society.
“We had one goal in mind — create a welcoming space where everyone, no matter their fitness level, age, or body shape, could experience real Yoga,” Pardeep, Co-founder of Jal Yoga shares.“Our name comes from the Sanskrit word for water; Jal. It is formless, seamless, freely flowing to adapt everywhere, and at Jal Yoga, we want to help people tap into their ability to be like water, to adapt. We aim for people to leave each class feeling refreshed and empowered, and our teachers utilise intention, meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and asana (Yoga poses) poses to make that happen.”
Currently, Jal Yoga operates out of a total of two studios in Malaysia. These are The Row Studio, in Kuala Lumpur, which is also Jal Yoga’s flagship studio, as well as Megah Rise in Petaling Jaya. Students can choose from a selection of three different rooms, depending on their choice of session; Agni, Vayu, or Prithvi. The Agni room, which derives its name from the Sanskrit word for fire, is installed with infra panels for heated classes, while the Vayu room, named for the Sanskrit word for wind, lets you take flight in aerial yoga and barre. Prithvi, named after the Sanskrit word for earth, is specially reserved for private sessions.
