Lee Hyori Tells Yoga Students: 'You Came to Learn, Not to Teach'

Singer Lee Hyori is reminding students at her yoga studio to follow the rules.

On July 23, Lee posted a message through the official account of her yoga studio. She spoke directly to some of her students. "If you came here to learn, you are a student," she wrote. "If you want to teach, teach at your own studio." The comment called out behavior she had seen from a few attendees.

She also added a note about reservations. "Sometimes people just show up even though their pass has expired or they haven't signed up for a one-day class," she wrote. "There are no exceptions for anyone. Please follow the rules."

Lee has shared studio guidelines several times since opening the space. She has asked students not to take photos or videos during class, and to keep quiet during meditation. The goal, she has said, is to protect the focus of the practice.

Lee debuted in 1998 as a member of the group Fin.K.L and later scored hits including "10 Minutes" and "U-Go-Girl." She went on to build a successful solo career and became one of the most loved figures in Korean pop. She married musician Lee Sang-soon in 2013. In 2024, the couple wrapped up their life on Jeju Island and moved to the Pyeongchang neighborhood in Seoul. Last September, Lee opened her yoga studio, Ananda Yoga, in Seoul's Seodaemun district.
