11Overview22Yoga and meditation are wellness activities in inZOI that let Zois improve their physical fitness, reduce stress, and build Karma. Yoga contributes directly to the Fitness skill while draining less Energy than heavy gym equipment, making it the gentlest way to start training. Meditation focuses on emotional recovery and spiritual growth rather than physical gains. Both activities can be performed at home with the right furniture or at dedicated locations across all three cities.44Yoga is especially prominent on Cahaya, the tropical island introduced in the Island Getaway expansion. The Cahaya Temple has a dedicated yoga area in the Supelaem building, and yoga mats can be found scattered across the island. Combined with the Sri Lestari Resort's spa and sauna facilities, Cahaya offers the most complete wellness experience in the game.66Where to Practice Yoga88Yoga can be practiced anywhere a yoga mat is available. There are three main ways to access a mat: placing one in your home through Build Mode, visiting a public gym or fitness area, or traveling to the Cahaya Temple.1010At Home1212The most convenient option is buying a yoga mat and placing it in your Zoi's home. Open Build Mode and navigate to Furniture, then Hobby, then Fitness. Three types of yoga mat are available for purchase, each at a low cost in Mew:1414Yoga MatPrice (Mew)NotesIndoor Yoga Mat5-6The only mat that supports the Meditate interaction in addition to yoga posesSoluna Yoga Mat7Outdoor-style mat suitable for patios and gardensBalanced Yoga Mat23Premium mat with a balanced design1616Placing a yoga mat at home means your Zoi can practice any time without traveling to a community lot. This is especially useful for fitting in a quick session before work or after a stressful day.1717Public Gyms and Fitness Areas1919Each city has outdoor fitness areas where Zois can exercise for free. While these locations are better known for their weight machines and treadmills, some also feature yoga mats. Key fitness locations include:2121CityLocationEquipmentDowonHarang River ParkGym equipment along the green lane overlooking the river; some apartment complexes also have basement gymsBliss BayMuscle BeachOutdoor gym near the Beach Volleyball Court with squat racks, bench presses, and pulldown machinesCahayaAsana Yoga (community lot)A dedicated yoga shop on the Main Island; the name comes from the Sanskrit word for a seated yoga pose2323Public lots are free to use, so placing equipment there through Build Mode does not cost any Mew. Zois who do not want to invest in home equipment can take advantage of these spaces instead.2424Cahaya Temple (Supelaem Building)2626The Cahaya Temple is located on the left side of the Cahaya map and can be reached by boat or water taxi. The temple grounds are split into two areas: the Supelaem building on the right, where yoga is practiced, and the Miatara Temple on the left, home to the Guardian Cats.2828Inside the Supelaem building, multiple yoga mats are laid out for visitors. To practice yoga here, simply approach any mat and select from the available interactions. This is a peaceful setting that doubles as a tourist attraction, and Zois who visit can also explore the Miatara Temple to burn incense, pray at the statue, or make a wish at the Wish Tree nearby.3030How Yoga Works3232When a Zoi starts a yoga session, they cycle through a series of poses on the mat. Yoga builds Fitness skill experience at a steady rate. It is slower than intense equipment like squat racks or bench presses, but it drains significantly less Energy and Hunger in the process. This makes yoga a forgiving option for Zois who are low on Energy or who want to train without needing a meal and a shower immediately afterward.3434As the Fitness skill grows, new poses unlock and Zois can develop their own routines. Early sessions start with simple stretches and basic positions, while higher-level Zois perform more complex sequences. Yoga also provides a mood boost, helping Zois unwind and feel better emotionally after a session.3636Yoga and the Fitness Skill3838The Fitness skill ranges from Level 1 to Level 10 and is available from the Teenager life stage through Senior. Yoga is one of several ways to level it up, alongside treadmills, weight machines, and reading fitness books. Here is how yoga compares to other training methods:4040MethodFitness XPEnergy DrainAdditional EffectsYogaModerateLowMood boost, unlocks new posesTreadmillModerate-HighModerateSteady cardio workoutWeight machines (squat rack, bench press, pulldown)HighHighFastest XP but burns through Energy and Hunger quicklyFitness booksLowNoneCan read at home, library, or on a tablet4242As your Zoi's Fitness level increases, the benefits extend beyond skill points. Higher Fitness improves stamina, makes body-related flirting options more successful, and causes visible muscle definition to appear on the Zoi's body over time. At Fitness Level 3, Zois also unlock the ability to go surfing at Bliss Bay.4343How Meditation Works4545Meditation is a separate activity from yoga, though both can be performed on the same mat. To meditate, move your Zoi to a calm location, hold the right mouse button to open the Interaction Wheel, and select "Meditate." The Zoi will sit down and enter a peaceful state, visible as a soft glow or calming aura around them.4747There is an important equipment restriction: meditation is only available as an interaction on the Indoor Yoga Mat. The Soluna and Balanced mats do not offer the Meditate option. If you want your Zoi to meditate at home, make sure to purchase the Indoor Yoga Mat specifically. Meditation is also available at certain community locations like the Cahaya Temple.4949Meditation Effects5151While meditating, a Zoi gradually regains emotional balance and builds spiritual energy. The longer a session lasts, the greater the benefits. Meditation does not contribute significantly to the Fitness skill, but it offers distinct advantages of its own:5353Stress reduction: Meditation lowers stress and helps restore emotional stability after difficult events or draining social interactions.Karma increase: Each meditation session gradually raises the Zoi's Karma level. Good Karma leads to praise and social benefits, while low Karma can result in negative consequences.Spiritual trait bonus: Zois with the Spiritual trait gain even more Karma from meditation sessions, making it one of the most efficient ways to build good Karma for spiritually inclined characters.Emotional recovery: Meditation is especially helpful after stressful events or difficult moral choices, helping the Zoi return to a grounded emotional state.5555Meditation Requirements5757A Zoi cannot meditate if they are too stressed, hungry, or distracted. The character needs to be in a relatively calm and focused state for the Meditate option to appear in the Interaction Wheel. Meeting basic needs like Hunger and Energy beforehand ensures the session goes smoothly.5959Wellness at Sri Lestari Resort6161For Zois visiting Cahaya, the Sri Lestari Resort offers a full range of paid wellness services beyond yoga. The resort's spa and sauna area provides professional treatments that reduce stress and improve mood more quickly than self-guided activities.6363Spa Treatments6565The resort's Massage Zone offers several treatment options. Zois can sit in massage chairs for targeted relaxation or lie on massage tables for full-body sessions performed by resort staff.6767TreatmentDescriptionHand massageA focused massage for the hands, performed in a massage chairFoot massageA targeted foot treatment in the massage chairScalp massageA relaxing scalp massage while seatedFish foot soakFeet are placed in buckets with fish for a natural exfoliation treatmentRose foot soakA soothing foot bath with rose petalsFull-body massageA comprehensive massage on a massage table, provided by resort staff6969All spa treatments at the resort cost Mew. If a Zoi is feeling stressed and overworked, a spa visit is one of the fastest ways to restore their emotional state. The resort also has a sauna for Zois who prefer heat-based relaxation.7070Equipment Summary7272The following table lists all yoga mats available for purchase in Build Mode under Furniture, Hobby, then Fitness. Yoga mats are among the cheapest fitness items in the game, making them accessible even to Zois on a tight budget.7474ItemPrice (Mew)Supports MeditationIndoor Yoga Mat5-6YesSoluna Yoga Mat7NoBalanced Yoga Mat23No7676For comparison, a treadmill costs 4,100 Mew and a squat rack costs 271 Mew. Yoga mats are by far the most affordable way to start building the Fitness skill at home.7777Tips and Strategies7979Start with yoga before hitting the gym. Yoga drains less Energy and Hunger than weight machines, so it is a great way to begin training Fitness without running your Zoi into the ground. Once you have a few levels, switch to heavier equipment for faster gains.Buy the Indoor Yoga Mat for meditation. If you want access to both yoga and meditation at home, the Indoor Yoga Mat is the only option that supports both. At just 5-6 Mew, it is a bargain for dual functionality.Pair meditation with the Spiritual trait. Zois with the Spiritual trait earn bonus Karma from each meditation session. If building good Karma is a priority, combine regular meditation with other positive actions for rapid progress.Visit the Cahaya Temple for the full experience. The Supelaem building at the Cahaya Temple provides a scenic setting with multiple mats. After yoga, explore the Miatara Temple to burn incense, pray, and make a wish at the Wish Tree.Use the resort spa for quick stress relief. When a Zoi is seriously stressed, a spa treatment at Sri Lestari Resort recovers mood faster than a solo yoga session. The fish foot soak and full-body massage are particularly effective.Meet basic needs first. Your Zoi needs to be reasonably fed and rested before the Meditate option appears. Top off Hunger and Energy before starting a meditation session to avoid interruptions.Place a mat on public property for free. In Build Mode, placing fitness equipment on a public lot costs nothing. If Mew is tight, set up a yoga mat in a park or beach area and your Zoi can use it without spending a single coin.8181Related Activities8383Yoga and meditation are part of a broader set of wellness and leisure activities available in inZOI.

To practice yoga at home, purchase a yoga mat from the Build Mode catalog and place it in an open area with enough space for the Zoi to move through poses.9191Fitness Skill Progression9393Practicing yoga contributes to Fitness skill progression. While yoga builds Fitness more slowly than high-intensity activities like jogging or sports, it is a low-impact alternative that any Zoi can perform regardless of their current Fitness level. Regular yoga practice gradually improves the Fitness skill over time.9595Yoga for Children9797Yoga mats are one of the Motor Development skill tools for children. When a child Zoi uses a yoga mat, it contributes to their Motor Development skill, which is one of the key developmental milestones tracked during the child life stage. Parents can encourage their children to use the yoga mat as part of a balanced development plan.9999Meditation101101Meditation is a mental wellness activity that Zois can practice to manage their emotional state. The key benefit of meditation is achieving the Tranquil emotional state, which has unique gameplay benefits beyond simple stress relief.103103The Tranquil State105105When a Zoi meditates successfully, they can enter the Tranquil state. This is a calm, centered emotional condition that provides several benefits:107107Gardening skill boost: The Tranquil state rapidly improves the Gardening skill. Zois who meditate before gardening sessions gain skill experience at a significantly faster rate than normal.Emotional stability: Tranquil Zois are less susceptible to negative mood swings and recover from stress more quickly.Need management: The calm state helps stabilize needs decay rates, giving the Zoi more time before needs become urgent.109109The Tranquil state and its Gardening synergy make meditation particularly valuable for Zois who focus on farming and horticulture. Experienced players often build a routine around meditating before heading to the garden.111111Locations for Yoga and Meditation113113Yoga and meditation can be practiced in several locations:115115LocationActivityDetailsHome (yoga mat)YogaPurchase and place a yoga mat in Build Mode.
