Maybe that could be the new name of YZ Kepong and Plaza Damas when all the smoke clears.
I didn’t even know they had a website, but here it is now:

Seems that a couple of YogaZone teachers are still there: Jess, Jessie, Chaniel, Au Yong, Leric, Dr Ameen, Ken, Kim, Pari etc. Quite an impressive line up indeed.
Just a thought, why don’t some of the teachers get together, invest some money and get their own yoga business?
Running a Yoga centre is one of the lowest cost business to start-up. There’s no capital equipment unlike a gym, what you need is a nice environment (most YZ outlets are already fully fitted out and just needs a little renovation to move in). And great teaching quality.
I’ve had the privilege to attend classes taught by some of the above teachers, and TRULY, I wouldn’t mind paying RM20 per class for some of your classes.
Don’t sell cheap. And you guys don’t need to advertise… all the YZ students are readily lining up to be taught by you!
Anyway just my 2 sen worth…
Do you know that Urban Yoga has occupied Kepong & Plaza Damas Centre? From next mth onwards, we have to pay $88 a mth to enjoy the class ! So frustrated…. same instructor, same place and same class but now we have to pay again despite having paid thousand of ringgit to join as life member. Feel like being cheated but do not know where to turn to - consumer right or police report ? Is anyone taking action against Yoga Group ? I heard Tan Kok Wai from Cheras is taking a legal action ? Does it include all GC member or only Cheras member ? Maybe write to TheStar to voice out all our predicament, never sign any prepaid packages !
Yoga Jess posted an article recently on how to claim through the Small Claims Tibunal. You can read it here.
I called to all YZ outlets last week but nobody answer the call except YZ in hartamas and they told me they are no longer Yogazone. now is Urban Yoga. They said YZ member can come over for free until end of this month and next month onwards YZ can come but gotta pay RM88 per month….so unfair to exisitng member, just like myself- jined in June 08 and still servicing the instalment payment of RM 132. Urban Yoga has bought over Hartamas and Kepong outlet….i still remembered that the YZ founder, TJ has promised member’s right and benefits remained unchange after new management take over…http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2008/8/6/nation/22002120&sec=nation.
unfair for existing members pay RM88 again to continue joining the yoga…every month need to pay RM120++, now plus RM88, mean i need to use RM200++to join a same classes n in same places?
anyway, jus wait NOV2008, after the Cheras yoga reopen…
i like all the instructor at yogazone in Cheras… last time i was tot bout y some of the teachers no get together, invest some money and get their own yoga business? (now c your post jus realise stil have ppl same thinking with me ^_^)
so v can have a same quality of yoga train, expecially Penny…i like tis instructor very much. last time i always attend her class even in 7am early morning^_^…duno whr she teach now?
I am still paying the installment but…unfortunately i cannot join the class unless i pay for another RM88. These people are really CHEATING MONEY. Yoga should bring harmony, but what are they doing right now…so SAD. Now i still have to save money every month to pay for the fee.
Any news on whether the management gonna lower the membership fee?
I call to Urbanyoga last few day. They confirmed existing YZ members will not lower the fee. Existing YZ members need to pay RM88 per month or RM25 per class.
Where is Urban Yoga? Any contact?
Hi Sheron,
U may try to log in this website:

The investors for Kepong, Cheras and Plaza Damas branches have take over the premises and named as Urbanyoga. All instructors remain the same. I have rejoin my yoga classes by paying RM88. No choice as they have the most flexible classes and good instructors in the market and suitable for office lady who work late.
