    AMID a recent spate of gym closures in Singapore, home-grown fitness boutique chain Yoga Movement has been busy expanding its footprint.

    In September, the brand opened a studio in Alexandra, bringing its total number of branches in the city-state to 10.

    It is also gearing up for its first foray overseas, having received a significant capital investment under new parent company Move Repeat.
