Under The Light (UTL) Yoga Studio is one of Asia’s most established yoga schools, offering a holistic blend of traditional and contemporary yoga practices. What began as a small studio in Tokyo has now evolved into a respected international name known for accessible classes, expert-led training programs, and a growing community of dedicated practitioners. Whether through in-person or online offerings, UTL remains committed to making yoga approachable, transformative, and rooted in authentic learning.
A Journey That Began in Tokyo
Founded in 2006 in Yoyogi, Tokyo, Under The Light Yoga Studio started with a simple mission—to offer a space where people could explore yoga in its purest form. Over the years, it has developed into the largest Yoga Alliance teacher training school in Asia, with more than 10,000 certified graduates who carry UTL’s values across the globe.
This growth is a reflection of UTL’s emphasis on quality education and community building. From day one, the studio focused on creating meaningful relationships with students and international yoga experts, which helped shape its reputation as a trusted learning center for yoga enthusiasts and aspiring instructors alike.
Expanding Footprints
With a strong foundation in Japan, UTL has continued to expand its reach beyond borders. The studio’s new home in Kuala Lumpur marks an exciting milestone, bringing the same commitment to quality and inclusivity to the Malaysian yoga scene. The Kuala Lumpur studio is designed to be a serene and supportive environment where people of all levels can practice comfortably.
UTL’s expansion is not just about geography—it’s about growing a global community connected by shared values. The Kuala Lumpur studio will also host workshops and teacher training programs led by international instructors, continuing the studio’s tradition of merging global insights with local presence.
The Rise of the Online Studio
Recognizing the need for flexibility and global connection, Under The Light launched its Online Studio in 2020. This platform allows students to practice from anywhere in the world, creating an inclusive space for those who may not have physical access to a yoga studio. The online classes offer the same depth and authenticity as in-person sessions, led by skilled instructors with a passion for teaching.
More than just an alternative, the Online Studio is a proactive step toward building a worldwide yoga community. It brings together students, teachers, and enthusiasts across borders, allowing UTL to share its philosophy and expertise far beyond its physical locations. With both offline and online avenues, Under The Light continues to make yoga a shared, enriching experience for all.
