Om Hanoi Yoga & Cafe in Hanoi, Vietnam

Om Hanoi Yoga & Cafe combines a working yoga studio with a vegetarian and vegan cafe at 62 Ly Thuong Kiet in central Hanoi. That combination is its main appeal for travellers: you can take a proper class, then stay for a meal or drink instead of treating yoga as a separate trip across the city. The venue is particularly convenient for visitors staying around Hoan Kiem and the French Quarter. Its main limitation is that the yoga timetable and cafe opening periods do not behave like the hours of a normal attraction, so checking the current class schedule is more important than simply arriving while the cafe is open.

The studio traces its identity to a space that began as Zenith Yoga Studio II in 2014 and was renamed Om Hanoi in 2016. Its public profile describes classes for a broad range of experience levels, from beginners to advanced students. Styles associated with the studio include Iyengar-influenced Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Power Yoga, Yin Yoga and Qi Gong, with private yoga and meditation sessions also offered on request. For a traveller, that breadth is useful because it creates several possible entry points: a stronger flow for someone who practices regularly, or a slower class for someone mainly trying to loosen up after a long journey.

Recent 2026 visitor evidence supports the idea that Om Hanoi still works well as a drop-in studio. A February 2026 Google review indexed by Wanderlog describes joining a flow class after a long flight, receiving English translation from the teacher and being able to use a drop-in option. That is one person’s experience rather than a guarantee for every session, but it is a useful practical signal for international visitors. If English instruction is essential, message the studio before attending because teacher language can vary by class.

The cafe is not an incidental waiting area. Current listings treat it as a vegetarian restaurant in its own right, with vegan-friendly and health-oriented dishes, coffee, juice and a mix of Vietnamese and international influences. Recent diners mention fresh rolls, noodles, salads, plant-based dishes, pizza-style options and smoothies. Menus change, so these examples should be treated as the character of the offering rather than a fixed list of what will be available on the day. The cafe makes the venue appealing to mixed groups in which only one person wants to practice yoga.

A recent August 2026 visitor guide reported a 250,000 VND yoga drop-in and free mat use. Because that price comes from a traveller-oriented source rather than a current official tariff page, it is best treated as indicative only. Ask for the current rate when reserving, especially if you are considering a package, private session or specialized class. The same principle applies to discounts between the studio and cafe: older listings mention benefits for yoga students, but such promotions can change and should not be assumed.

Current Google-sourced opening information indexed by Wanderlog lists the venue as open 09:00–16:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, with additional 18:00–19:30 periods on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 09:00–15:00 on Saturday and closed on Sunday. A 2026 Hanoi guidebook similarly lists Om Hanoi at 62 Ly Thuong Kiet and gives a daytime opening window. These are useful planning references, but the class timetable can be narrower than the cafe hours. Reserve around the class, not around the restaurant door.

The venue is in a central, busy part of Hanoi, but the entrance experience is more tucked away than a storefront gym. Recent visitor reporting describes following signage into the building, with the cafe and yoga space on upper floors. That can make a first visit slightly confusing, so allow extra time to locate the entrance and complete payment before class. Being in central Hanoi makes it easy to combine Om Hanoi with museums, Hoan Kiem-area sightseeing or a meal elsewhere without dedicating half a day to transport.

Accessibility is a weak point in the available evidence. A recent visitor guide places the cafe on the second floor and the studio on the third, and the research did not confirm an elevator or a step-free route. That does not prove the venue is inaccessible, but wheelchair users or anyone who struggles with stairs should contact the studio before travelling. Likewise, the sources checked do not confirm accessible toilets or adaptive yoga equipment.

For most visitors, one yoga session plus arrival and changing time requires roughly 75 to 90 minutes, while adding a cafe meal can extend the visit to two hours or more. Tripadvisor’s attraction profile gives a typical duration of one to two hours, which aligns with this kind of combined visit. Travellers who want only the cafe can of course stay for a shorter meal, while private yoga or meditation should be booked with enough time for a more tailored session.

Om Hanoi works best for visitors who value convenience, a relaxed community setting and the ability to pair movement with plant-based food. It is not a large fitness club, and it should not be approached as one. The experience is closer to a compact urban wellness stop: arrive with a confirmed class, expect a central but slightly hidden entrance, and treat the cafe as part of the attraction rather than an afterthought.
