About
About YogaPhilippines.com
A yoga directory, guide and library for the Philippines, run by a small editorial team in Manila.
YogaPhilippines.com helps people in the Philippines find a yoga class and practise well. It lists 258 verified yoga studios with their published rates, explains poses, stretches and the ideas behind yoga, and offers free tools such as a studio finder and a style quiz.
Who runs it
The site is written and maintained by a small editorial team of people who practise yoga in Manila. Joahnna Lee, a private yoga teacher in Metro Manila (200-hour trained at House of Om, Bali), is a contributing teacher. She reviewed the pose, philosophy and stretching library that moved here from joahnnalee.com, and those pages say so.
Editor's note: Joahnna Lee is a contributing teacher to YogaPhilippines.com. Where she appears in a list, the page says so.
What the site does
- Directory. Yoga studios across the Philippines, checked against their own pages, with published rates and how to book.
- Library. Poses, stretches, sequences, philosophy and meditation, written plainly with safety notes.
- Data. The Yoga Price Index dataset, the State of Yoga 2026 report and open studio data in CSV and JSON, all built from the directory and free to reuse with credit. The headline numbers are also written up as short, citable facts, and reporters can start from the press page. Site owners can add our free yoga widgets.
How it is funded
There are no paid placements today. No studio pays to be listed or to rank higher, and studios can claim or add a listing for free and use the free featured badge. Gear pages use plain store links with no affiliate code. If that ever changes, this page and every affected page will say so.
How we work
Read the editorial policy (including how AI-assisted drafts are edited and reviewed), how we verify studios, and the public corrections log. To reach us, use the contact page.
Health and safety
Yoga is not medical care. Nothing on this site diagnoses, treats or prevents any condition, and no page replaces advice from a doctor, physiotherapist, OB or midwife.
- Pain and injury. A stretch should feel broad and mild. Stop if anything feels sharp, pinching, burning or numb. See a professional about pain, an injury, recent surgery or a joint or spine condition before you practise.
- Pregnancy and after birth. Check with your OB or midwife before starting or continuing yoga. The pregnancy and postpartum guides on joahnnalee.com are written for that stage.
- Heat. Hot and Bikram rooms are heated. Drink water, leave the room if you feel dizzy or sick, and ask your doctor first if you are pregnant or have a heart, blood pressure or heat-related condition.
- Inversions. Headstand, shoulderstand and handstand load the neck, head and wrists. Avoid them with neck injuries, glaucoma or in pregnancy, ask your doctor first if you have high blood pressure, and learn them with a teacher.
- Mental health. Breathing and meditation are not treatments for anxiety or depression. If you are in crisis in the Philippines, call the National Center for Mental Health crisis line at 1553.
Not affiliated
Not affiliated with Yoga Philippines (yogaphilippines.org), the yoga school in Alabang. We list that school like any other, on its own merits.
