Olaben Studio

Olaben Studio is run by the Vietnamese activewear brand of the same name and occupies a building on Street 10 in Thao Dien. The space is split into themed rooms: Earth, a large room for group yoga and mat Pilates; Fire, for smaller sessions and workshops; Water, with reformers; Air, an open-air rooftop; plus a private room and a Cadillac (trapeze table) room.

Yoga classes cover Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha and Ashtanga, pitched at all levels from first-timers upwards, and sit alongside mat, reformer and Cadillac Pilates. Instructors teach in English, Vietnamese and Korean, which makes it an easy option for the area's international residents.

Group classes start from 250,000 VND each, with packages, memberships and trial packages available and no long-term commitment required. Equipment is included. The timetable for yoga and Pilates is published on Virtuagym, and the studio is open daily from 6am to 9pm.
