Singapore, 30 September 2020 – As we navigate a tough pandemic-fueled season, we are aware of how the strain of the last 7 months has taken a toll our lives and relationships. Conversations around mental-health and anxiety are growing, while the world yearns for a sense of normalcy. We urge you to pause, calm the mind’s chatter and set aside that to-do list to better your health!
Yoga Vibes & Wellness Day on 10 October (Saturday)
[Recent SuperFit Yoga series in action: Together physically with appropriate distancing]
In conjunction with World Mental Health Day on 10 October, the Singapore Sports Hub will be running the Yoga Vibes & Wellness Day with an exciting, full-day line-up of rejuvenating yoga sessions by celebrity practitioners Denise Keller, Sara Wee, and Dawn Sim.
Focusing on different breathing techniques and various poses to strengthen the mind and body, the outdoor yoga sessions provide participants with a dedicated time to reconnect their mind, body and soul. Said Denise Keller, “Yoga is a mind-body practice and is considered a type of complementary and integrative health approach. It brings together physical and mental disciplines that help with relaxation and manages stress and anxiety.”
Participants can also bring along a friend or family member to the experiential Scent Remedies and DIY Hand Sanitiser & Insect Repellent workshops, where they will be shown the health benefits of essential oils, and learn how to make D-I-Y and natural foot scrubs, scent rollers, hand sanitisers, and insect repellents.
Registration is required for the sessions. For more information on the programme schedule, visit www.sportshub.com.sg/yoga-vibes-and-wellness. Participants will get a limited-edition Yogi Pack (worth S$30) when they sign up for any of the yoga sessions at S$5.
