On the 14th, Lee Hyori shared glimpses of her students dedicated to their early morning yoga sessions via her social media. She sent words of encouragement, writing, “Everyone seemed to have fun this morning,” and “Only those who push themselves to the limit can feel this healthy sense of satisfaction.”
Heartwarming reviews from students visiting her yoga studio, “Ananda,” are also catching attention. One student playfully posted a photo from class, captioning it, “I’m not being punished by the teacher,” while another shared Lee Hyori’s sweet side, saying, “I finally took Teacher Hyori’s class. She gave me candy with a big smile and told me I worked hard.” Lee Hyori continued this warm communication by personally sharing these sincere reviews.
Lee Hyori faced a great sorrow when her father passed away on the 12th of last month. Having previously expressed her deep affection for her ailing father on various variety shows, she fulfilled her duties as the chief mourner alongside her husband, Lee Sang-soon. Fin.K.L members Ock Joo-hyun, Lee Jin, and Sung Yu-ri also visited the funeral hall to stay by her side, touching the public with their “true friendship” spanning 27 years. Despite the deep loss, Lee Hyori has been managing her heart through yoga and stepping back out into the world.
Operating her yoga studio in Yeonhui-dong, Seoul, Lee Hyori recently opened up about her struggles as an instructor on the channel “Ah Yoga.” She revealed her matured inner self, stating, “It’s not easy to embrace a diverse range of students, but I feel that is also part of my own practice.”
Fans are sending warm support and encouragement to Lee Hyori, who has risen strong by sublimating her grief through yoga, commenting, “As expected, she is a person with a strong inner core,” and “I hope she heals her heart through yoga.” After moving to Seoul in 2024, Lee Hyori is now adding depth to her life by breathing with the public in a new way through the medium of yoga.
