Hot Yoga Near Me in Serangoon Gardens: Ki Yoga Above Baker and Cook

Ki Yoga sits one floor above the Baker and Cook bakery at 87A Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555983, and a single drop-in class costs $38. Anyone in Serangoon, Lorong Chuan or Ang Mo Kio searching for hot yoga near me should know the catch first: only a handful of classes each week are heated, so the timetable decides whether this neighbourhood studio fits your routine. In a typical October 2026 week there were six hot sessions out of roughly 29.

The entrance is on the second level, tucked into what the studio calls a quiet corner of the Serangoon Gardens estate, a neighbourhood it describes as a mix of hipster cafes, local food markets, art schools and small businesses. Look for Baker and Cook at 87 Serangoon Garden Way and head upstairs.

Public transport takes a little planning. Ki points riders to Lorong Chuan station on the Circle Line, CC14, but that stop is roughly 1.4 kilometres away, so most people finish the trip by bus. Services 315, 317, 136 and 73 all serve the area, and they are the faster choice after a heated class when the walk from Lorong Chuan feels much longer than it does on the way in.

Ki has written a whole parking guide for students who drive, and it is unusually blunt about the problem. Its parking guide paints the scene of arriving ten minutes before class with not a single lot in sight, and warns that encounters with parking enforcement officers happen daily in the estate. The guide lists nearby carpark codes so you can head straight for a legal space instead of circling, and it is worth reading before your first visit.

The practical takeaway is to leave earlier than you think. Late arrivals are treated strictly at Ki, so a 15-minute hunt for a lot can cost you the class entirely. On weekend mornings, when the cafe below draws its own brunch crowd, taking one of the four bus services is usually the less stressful option.

Ki was started by its founder Jacqueline after a back problem changed her own practice. On the studio's story page she explains that in April 2021 she suffered from a lower back condition, and the studio grew from the recovery that followed. The name comes from the Japanese word for tree, an image that fits a timetable built around a class literally called Ki Grounding.

The studio is young but established. Ki ran a third anniversary sale in October 2024, and the packages on sale in October 2026 are labelled as a fifth anniversary offer. The operating company is Ki Concepts Pte. Ltd. Members are called Kins, the two practice rooms are named Kin 1 and Kin 2, and reviewers mention a dog named Kobe who sometimes wanders the studio.

Three class types come in hot and non-hot versions: Ki Grounding, Ki Dynamic and Ki Stretch. Everything else on the menu, including Ki Foundation, Ki Advanced, Ki Restore, Mat Pilates and Prenatal, is unheated. When you book, read the class name carefully, because the same title appears with and without heat, and picking the wrong one is the most common first-week mistake.

Sessions run either 45 or 60 minutes. A sample week from 17 to 23 October 2026 had a 45-minute Ki Grounding (Hot) at 8am on Saturday, a 60-minute Ki Stretch (Hot) at 4pm on Sunday and 10:30am on Monday, Ki Grounding (Hot) at 9:15am on Wednesday and 7:30am on Friday, and Ki Stretch (Hot) at 8:15pm on Wednesday. Ki does not publish a room temperature for these classes.

The honest verdict: Ki is a good neighbourhood studio with heat as a side option, not a dedicated hot yoga room. If you want five heated classes a week, the schedule will frustrate you. If you want one or two warm Ki Stretch sessions alongside unheated classes close to home, it works well, and the hot Ki Stretch is the best place to start.

New students can buy a trial package of three class credits for $50, valid for one month from the first class, though it cannot be used for prenatal or private sessions. A single drop-in is $38 and stays valid for a month after purchase. The standard packs are ten classes for $310 over three months, twenty for $520 over six months and thirty for $720 over six months.

The anniversary offers bring the per-class cost down further: thirty classes for $690, fifty for $1,050 and one hundred for $1,950. Prenatal drop-ins are $45 and a single private session is $160. All sales are final and non-refundable. At the studio, payment is by cash, PayNow, PayLah or GrabPay; credit cards are not accepted at the counter, so sort out payment online beforehand if you rely on a card.

Bookings open exactly seven days ahead, to the hour, so the Saturday 8am hot class opens at 8am the previous Saturday. Cancel at least two hours before class or lose one credit as a late-cancellation or no-show penalty. The studio holds a booking only until five minutes before the start, and the rules page is explicit that anyone more than five minutes late will not be let in and will be marked as a no-show without refund.

Aim to arrive at least ten minutes early. Phones go into the free lockers rather than into the room. Students must be at least 16 to attend a regular hot class, and Ki does not recommend hot classes for pregnant women, who are steered to the separate prenatal sessions instead.

Mats and props are supplied, and each student gets one sweat towel per class. Personal mat towels and non-slip socks are welcome but optional. Fresh cold and hot drinking water is free in the studio, so bring your own bottle. Members, the Kins, also get complimentary towels for classes and shower facilities with bath towels, plus use of the changing rooms, bathrooms, lockers, a rest area and the Kins lounge with its small retail corner.

Baker and Cook at 87 Serangoon Garden Way is directly below the studio and opens at 7:30am every day, closing at 5pm from Monday to Thursday and 8:30pm from Friday to Sunday, so it covers both the early weekday classes and the weekend sessions. Chomp Chomp Food Centre at 20 Kensington Park Road is only about 190 metres away, the estate's famous hawker centre for an evening meal after the 8:15pm Wednesday class.

If it rains, myVillage at 1 Maju Avenue is the covered fallback for groceries and a sit-down meal. Treat the walk around the Serangoon Gardens circus as your cool-down, since the low-rise streets and shaded shophouse fronts are pleasant once the sweat has dried.

Because heated sessions are few, a full hot class is the likeliest problem. The simplest fallback is the unheated version of the same class later that week, which keeps your credits working. If heat is non-negotiable, PURE Yoga at Ngee Ann City, Level 18 of Tower A at 391A Orchard Road, runs several hot classes daily, though its non-member visit is $55.

Address: Ki Yoga, 87A Serangoon Garden Way, Singapore 555983, second level above Baker and Cook. Rail: Lorong Chuan (CC14), then bus or a 1.4-kilometre walk; buses 315, 317, 136 and 73. Studio hours are 7:30am to 1pm and 5pm to 9pm on weekdays and 11am to 2pm at weekends, with some classes scheduled outside those windows. Arrive ten minutes early and bring a water bottle.

Ki suits Serangoon Gardens residents who want a calm, friendly studio within walking distance, people easing back into practice after injury, and students who like mixing heated and unheated classes. It suits less well commuters who rely on the MRT or anyone who wants a daily dose of heat.
