Welcome to
Root & Rise
- the neighbourhood's new favourite wellness hang out
We started small – literally from a home studio tucked away on Jalan Lakum in Seletar Hills. What began as a single reformer in a study room quickly grew into something bigger, all thanks to the incredible support from our friends & neighbours.
Meeting all of you – new mums, working professionals, weekend warriors, and total beginners – reminded us of how powerful movement is in bringing people together.
Our name, Root & Rise, carries a little story of its own. “Lakum” – our street name – means “to rise” in Hebrew and “to you” in Arabic, and it’s also the name of a berry-like fruit in Malaysia. In yoga, we often say “root to rise” – the idea of grounding yourself so you can grow confidently. Our logo often shows up as Root8Rise, with the number 8 standing in for the "&" – a nod to our original unit number (coincidentally now at #02-08 too!) and a cheeky little “huat ah!” for good luck.
At Root & Rise, we’re all about movement without pressure. Come as you are, dressed how you like. Whether you’re here to feel stronger, move more freely, get back into it post-baby, or simply try something new, we’re here for you.
Our classes range from gentle to energising, beginner-friendly to challenging, mat to reformer – and we’ve got options for every stage of life, including private sessions for those who need a little extra care.
Our instructors are warm, down-to-earth, and always ready with a smile (and a modification if you need it!).
So come say hi. Whether you're a regular or it’s your first time stepping into a studio, there’s space for you here.
'Cos we're #ROOTING4U!
Love,
The Root & Rise Team
