I realize this thread is a bit dated, but if any stumble upon it (as I did) through the search engines, I just wanted to mention that my wife has recently started teaching private yoga classes (in English or Chinese). You can check out her site for more information (
www.innerlight-yoga.com)
Ralf mentioned a yoga studio above the Blue Marlin - assuming it's the Blue Marlin on Xinghai Jie, it was called Bacado, but they've just closed. My wife was the instructor there for nearly 2 years, and speaks great English. However, none of the front desk staff spoke English, and so it may have appeared that classes were only in Chinese (the bosses didn't advertise bi-lingual classes - which make explain why they're now closed).
Anyway, if anyone has any questions about yoga, or yoga in Suzhou - you're welcome to contact myself or my wife, Maggie.
Cheers.
