Following the resounding success of its inaugural series, Grand Hyatt Singapore today announced the return and expansion of Damai's Yoga Alliance–accredited training programmes led by master trainer Jimin Choi. Building on last year's highly sought-after programmes, the line-up reintroduces popular formats while unveiling new, thoughtfully curated experiences designed to meet the evolving needs of today's practitioners and certified instructors.

Hosted within the serene sanctuary of Damai and Damai House, these learning journeys reaffirm Grand Hyatt Singapore's position as a leading destination for purposeful, results-driven urban wellness where expert guidance, intentional movement, and restorative environments converge.

A Proven Concept, Reimagined for 2026

Launched to strong demand in 2025, Jimin Choi's retreats quickly established a loyal following among wellness practitioners, instructors, and enthusiasts seeking deeper immersion beyond conventional studio classes.

Each retreat is carefully designed to balance structured learning, embodied practice, and restorative downtime, allowing participants to fully engage while benefiting from Damai's comprehensive wellness facilities, from thermal hydrotherapy to tranquil garden pools.
