Inspired by a viral video, we explore Manila’s yoga studios, as well as the stylish matching sets that let you move and stretch in comfort.
If you’re chronically online like me, you’ve probably come across that now-viral video: a man visibly struggling to keep up while a group of women in perfectly coordinated matching sets move through a hot yoga class with effortless composure. The clip has since fueled a new internet mantra: “matching set girls don’t get tired.” The trend playfully suggests that looking put-together is, apparently, a performance enhancer. To live out your “hot yoga in a matching set” dreams, we’ve curated a selection of yoga studios in Manila, paired with matching sets for your classes.

Vida Yoga + Common Mode
Vida Yoga is almost synonymous with hot yoga in Manila. With multiple studios around the Metro, its hot yoga classes have become a go-to for those seeking a serene atmosphere, as well as a challenging yet accessible flow—the kind that leaves you drenched, refreshed, and already planning your next session.
For your matching set, look no further than Common Mode. The local athleisure brand is teaming up with Vida Yoga this February 14 and 15 for a special collab. Titled The Crush Hour: Slow Burn, the partnership is a reminder that strong bodies, meaningful connections, and lasting love don’t happen instantly, and sometimes the journey is just as satisfying as the result.
The Breathing Room + Recess
At The Breathing Room, you can book your regular yoga classes for a full-body workout that challenges strength, flexibility, and endurance, or you can step into their Salt Room for guided meditation in a space that mimics the restorative microclimate of a natural salt cave. Whatever you choose, you can expect both full-body and mental rejuvenation.
If you’re planning to dive into a guided meditation in the Salt Room or join one of The Breathing Room’s yoga classes, a set from Recess is the perfect companion. The brand offers activewear that are as appealing as they are comfortable, the kind you slip on for some quality me-time.
Soulspace + Shape Active
At Soulspace, you can choose from hot yoga, HIIT, Flow, and Rocket classes—whatever kind of sweat session you’re craving. Each class is designed to challenge your body while keeping the mind engaged, whether you’re building strength, boosting endurance, or finding balance.
If you’re booking a class at Soulspace, slip into a Shape set. Shape delivers form-flattering pieces in muted, sophisticated hues that will help you power through every position.
Jal Yoga + Love, Jane
If you’re craving a different kind of hot yoga, try Jal Yoga’s Infrared Heat Yoga. Known for blending yoga and barre into a dynamic fitness experience, Jal Yoga turns up the intensity with infrared heat, which helps stretches feel deeper and movement more invigorating. By the end of class, you’ll feel your body coming alive in ways you didn’t expect.
For your Jal Yoga Infrared Hot Yoga session, slip into a matching set from the local athleisure brand, Love, Jane. With trendy, chic silhouettes, the brand merges elegance and functionality, giving you that polished baddie look.
