Where will the yoga room be do you think? Couldn't figure it out from the email
|
What kind of champagne will be served? |
Yes I couldn’t figure out where the “room” is. Did they use the sleeping area at the end? I hope not... And honestly who is going to use this? If there’s no trainers there I bet it ends up a kids play area. |

I do see the relaxation room is still featured on the lounge website so fingers crossed it hasn’t been removed. |
are there swarms of flies back there |
My good old reliable friend Danny at SCMP has informed me that the IT zone at the Pier J was taken out for this. The workstations have been relocated to the room behind the main buffet.

Very nice - only can do yoga if you’re a novice like me - by following the TV instructions but it is hard https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...cafa8e687.jpeg Main yoga area https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...eac3fd647.jpeg Semi-private yoga area https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...5f0136de9.jpeg Audio relaxation https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...77e39efcb.jpeg Old IT hub |
Is this going to be permanent? I wonder how much Pure has paid for this. Remember the old playstation room at the Wing? Will this end up being as barren as that room? One barrier for success I see is whether people are going to bring yoga gear in their hand carry in order to do this. If you are a HK resident starting your trip, it just doesn’t seem like something you would plan to do. And transit passengers are less likely to know this is something they should prepare for. |
As a point of reference, the Yoga room in the Skyteam lounge was converted into a TV room last year due to lack of demand.

At entry to Pier J, counter on you right, head straight to windows and the entrance to scantuary is on your right. Under renovation sign on roped off curtains as of Jan 27.

I could see using it. I'm assuming their video instructions don't require any props so there's no need to bring gear as long as you don't mind using one of the provided mats (which yes, ick, but with a shower after it'd be fine).
I often find myself desperately in need of some serious stretching after a long flight and if it's also a quiet area for a meditation practice that's an added bonus. Nobody ever seemed to use the IT Zone anyways. |
I think this is a nice marketing partnership for both PURE and CX. However, hard to see how this will become a permanent fixture. A gym would have been more practical but I can't see that fitting into a CX lounge environment either.
