About Zotete

Zotete began in 2016 when three certified instructors came together in a small studio at Lorong Chuan with a straightforward goal: to make group yoga accessible to everyone in Singapore. We started with just 8 students and two weekly sessions. Today, we conduct 24 classes per week with over 200 regular participants across different skill levels.

Our Foundation Story

The studio opened after our founders noticed a gap in Singapore's fitness landscape. While private sessions were abundant, quality group classes that fostered community remained scarce. We established Zotete at 12 Lorong Chuan, choosing a space with natural light and proper ventilation rather than a trendy location.

From day one, we focused on maintaining small class sizes—maximum 15 participants per session. This allows instructors to monitor form and provide corrections. Within the first year, we expanded from morning classes to include lunchtime and evening options to accommodate working professionals.

Mission & Vision

Our Mission: We provide structured group yoga instruction that builds strength, flexibility, and body awareness through consistent practice. Each session follows progressive sequences designed by instructors with combined 30+ years of teaching experience.

Our Vision: To establish a sustainable practice space where people return not because of marketing promises, but because they notice measurable improvements in their physical capabilities and stress management after regular attendance.

Core Values

Consistency Over Intensity

We structure classes for regular attendance rather than extreme sessions. Progress comes from showing up twice weekly for months, not from pushing beyond safe limits.

Evidence-Based Instruction

Our sequences incorporate findings from sports science and physiotherapy. We update techniques based on current research about joint health and muscle engagement.

Transparent Communication

We clearly state what yoga can and cannot do. Our instructors discuss realistic timelines for seeing results and explain the biomechanics behind each pose.

Experience & Expertise

Our six instructors hold certifications from Yoga Alliance (RYT 200 or RYT 500) and complete 20 hours of continuing education annually. Three team members have additional training in anatomy and injury prevention from Singapore Sports Medicine Centre.
