Singer Lee Hyo-ri’s yoga studio asked members not to touch her or make personal requests of her without her consent.

“Considering various cases in our operations, we are providing additional guidelines to ensure smoother and more orderly management,” Lee’s studio, Ananda Yoga, announced in a posted notice on Instagram on Wednesday. “Please make sure to read and follow them.”

Lee opened Ananda Yoga in Seodaemun District in August last year and has been leading classes herself. Morning classes led by Lee are operated on a 100 percent reservation basis, and visits without a reservation are not allowed.

“Photos and videos may be freely taken before and after classes, but filming during class is prohibited,” the studio said. “We respectfully decline requests for personal photos or autographs from the director, and physical contact such as holding hands or touching the body without consent is prohibited. Please respect basic etiquette.”

“Any packages or gifts sent to the studio without prior arrangement may be discarded, so please refrain from sending them,” the notice went on. “We ask for your cooperation in following even small rules to create an environment where everyone can better focus on yoga practice.”

Lee married singer Lee Sang-soon in 2013 and lived in Jeju before moving to Seoul in 2024.
