The teacher is very patient. Assists each one to do poses correctly big or small class size. Good if he mentions names of poses so I can review or familiarize myself with the poses on my own.

I joined for 3 months now and enjoyed each class. Teachers really take time to correct your poses and motivate you to challenge yourself. I also appreciate the variety of classes available and how they clean every mat and equipment right after every class.

Practicing yoga for the first time at JAL Yoga Alabang is the best decision l’ve made in 2024! I’ve been consistently attending yoga classes for over two months now, and each class never disappoints! Our yoga teachers guide us through each routine, ensuring our poses are correct. They also provide difficulty options for every pose, which I appreciate so much as a beginner. I hope the teaching quality stays consistent.

It’s my first time doing a pilates session and I enjoyed it so much. The ambiance is so good and clean. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. The teacher is so good, she makes sure we do it properly. She encourages us to do pilates regularly. She is very considerate. It’s a great experience with Jal.

Highly encourage everyone to take a class with Jal Yoga! All classes surely empower and push you to your limit. You’ll feel better and improve proper breathing after. Since their opening, their teachers are all equally competitive and hands-on to their students. Thank you for bringing Jal to the Philippines!
