Acro Yoga in Farrer Park: Meraki Movement Co Singapore

Meraki Movement Co teaches acroyoga on the second floor and attic of 440 Serangoon Road, Singapore 218134, a three-minute walk from Farrer Park MRT. A first-timer trial of four classes costs S$60, a single Explore class is S$49, and the studio says the majority of its acroyoga students come alone because coaches pair and rotate partners in every class. If you are searching acro yoga near me anywhere along the North East line, this is a studio that runs the discipline at three levels every week rather than as an occasional workshop.

Meraki calls itself a movement skills studio and organises everything into four tracks. Partner Acro covers Acroyoga, Standing Acro and Partner Lifts; Solo Acro covers floor acrobatics, tumbling and handstands; Strength Skills covers calisthenics and functional strength; and Mobility covers splits and backbends. Each track has a progression path, and coaches recommend what to try next.

The point of the structure, in the studio's own words, is that you are not just picking random classes and hoping something sticks. For acroyoga students it means you can add a handstand or tumbling class to build shoulder strength and body awareness for flying, using the same Explore credits. The company is registered as Meraki Movement Co Pte Ltd and takes bookings through the Rezerv platform.

Acroyoga Fundamental is where every newcomer starts. You learn the three roles of base, flyer and spotter, the grips, and core poses such as Bird and Throne, with no inversions, pops or dynamic moves. The acroyoga page lists it at 60 minutes, while other class pages list partner classes at 75 minutes, so allow the longer time.

Basic, at 75 minutes, links foundational poses into flows and introduces inversions such as star and shoulder stand, plus basic pops. Intermediate, also 75 minutes, covers dynamic entries, refined lines and controlled transitions, and is meant for students with consistent inversions from Basic. Not sure where you fit? The studio invites you to message it on Instagram or WhatsApp for a level recommendation.

The safety rules are written out rather than implied. Before every partnered attempt there is a consent conversation covering roles, comfort and the option to opt out. Anyone can call stop at any moment, and the pair resets, regresses and tries again only when everyone is ready. Coaches can down-level any pairing if there is a mismatch or fatigue.

Physically, the studio uses mats and keeps landing zones clear, and the Fundamental class stays within static poses and two linking poses, with no whips or high-risk shapes. Coaches teach exits before entries and spot hands-on. For a nervous first-timer, that combination is the strongest argument for paying studio prices instead of starting at a park jam.

Read the package page carefully, because only Explore credits cover acro. The Explore packs are S$49 for one class, valid 14 days from purchase; S$399 for ten classes, valid 70 days from first booking; and S$999 for thirty, valid 210 days. The cheaper Standard packs, from S$39 a class, are explicitly not valid for Acro, Partner Lifts, Handstands or Tumbling.

The fine print matters if you travel. Ten-class packs can be extended by up to two weeks and thirty-class packs by up to four, but the four-class trial cannot be extended at all, so do not buy it the week before a holiday. Monthly memberships renew automatically, are not refundable, and can be cancelled or paused at any time; pause requests go to hello@merakimovement.sg at least three working days ahead.

The First-Timer Trial is the best start: S$60 for four classes within 14 days of first booking, one per person. Community Membership is S$329 a month for unlimited classes, which only pays off if you train more than about seven times a month. Open Sessions cost S$5 and are valid for three days from purchase. Only 30-class packs can be shared, and memberships can be paused for up to eight weeks a year.

The studio asks for close-fitting clothing, no jewellery on hands or wrists and bare feet, since a base needs to see and grip a flyer's knees and ankles. Arrive a few minutes early on your first visit to find the second-floor entrance and meet your coach.

The acroyoga page names its typical students: solo adults curious to try, couples who start together in Fundamental and progress at the same pace, yoga practitioners who find the postures familiar, and movers from standing acro or tumbling who want to deepen basing and flying. Couples can train together, but expect to rotate as well.

Once you have a few classes behind you, the S$5 Open Sessions are where you practise. The Sunday session starts at 2:30pm in the attic and lasts 150 minutes, with further sessions on weekday evenings, and give you mat space to repeat what you learned without a new syllabus. The Standing Acro classes, also at three levels, are the next step for people who want to stand on a base's shoulders.

Singapore has few studios that teach acroyoga every week. Trust Yoga and PURE Yoga both publish acro class descriptions, but their timetables for late October 2026 listed no acro sessions, so Meraki is the dependable option for now. If a class is full, book the next Fundamental slot rather than jumping a level.

Serangoon Road is the spine of Little India, so the studio sits among shophouses, flower-garland stalls and South Indian restaurants. Mustafa Centre, the department store on Syed Alwi Road, is a short walk away. After an evening class, the vegetarian and South Indian restaurants along Serangoon Road are the easy dinner option.

If you have time before class, the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple at 397 Serangoon Road, a few minutes' walk from the studio, has a tall carved gopuram facing the street and is one of the oldest Hindu temples in Singapore. Little India MRT is further south along the same road if you want to walk off a class before heading home.
