Thank you to everyone who came out for the Mind Body Spirit 2013 Festival, and attended our invigorating hatha yoga session in the Singapore Flyer.  There's nothing quite like flying high, using the beautiful Singapore skyline as inspiration during a Sunday yoga practice.  Check out the pictures below.

Congratulations to one of our students for her big win at Today’s Parents Baby Seminar 2013 that was held on 27 & 28 April at Crowne Plaza Hotel, Changi Airport!  Yogeswari Preshant was lucky enough to be selected for the grand prize at the fair - a Star Cruise vacation package for two worth $3,000!  She also won the cutest Nikon couple on Day Two of the fair.  We send out big congratulations to her and her partner for winning these great prizes, and for continuing to practice yoga with us as she nears her due date!

The practice of yoga is becoming increasingly mainstream, not only for physical fitness, but as a way to treat mental and nervous system imbalances such as depression, stress and anxiety.   Scientists are taking notice.  For example, this new study at the University of Adelaide in Australia is aiming to find out if practicing hatha yoga relieves stress in individuals.  In their new trial, called The Yoga for Stress Study: The Effectiveness of a Hatha Yoga Practice on Biochemical Markers of Oxidative Stress in a Chronically Stressed Population, researchers will recruit women to participate in 16 hatha yoga classes, measuring whether there is a decrease in the amount of biochemical markers of oxidative stress at the end of the study.  The participants must be new to yoga, women, and between the ages of 35-65. 

We’ll be looking forward to hearing the results, although we expect they will be in favor of a regular yoga practice in reducing stress.  In this increasingly hectic world, a regular yoga practice has become extremely beneficial.  It provides a time for practitioners to forget about their busy schedules, step away from technology like cell phones and e-mail, and focus on only one thing – the breath.  It’s a time for the body and mind to recuperate.  We believe the researchers will find a decrease in the markers of oxidative stress as each participant inhales, then exhales.

Hi all
We are opening up two trial classes next week at OUE Bayfront on 25th March Monday and 28th March Thursday, 6pm.
This is a 60min Hatha Yoga class for all levels.
As spaces are limited, prior confirmation is mandatory. You would require your own yoga mat.
Interested participants, please email us your name and your mobile number for confirmation.

We’ve just come across yet more proof that yoga is for everyone!  While people tend to think that yoga is for young, naturally flexible people, this really isn’t the case.  Yoga is for anyone of any age who wants to improve their balance, flexibility and overall physical and mental health.   It’s never too late to start.  Just look at American yoga instructor Fran Miller.  She began teaching yoga at 50, and turns 91 this month.  She still gives hatha yoga classes at a studio in California.  See her full story here:

So, there it is, there’s no age limit on practicing yoga.  Here’s to many more years on the mat!
