See all- Gentle Yoga Workout by the Beach of East Coast ParkEast Coast Park by the Siglap Connector, singapore
Join us for a gentle yoga workout by the beach led by a certified yoga instructor.
We will start with some simple stretches coordinated with breath to help harmonise the body with the mind.
We will then move on to other exercises for improving strength and fitness.
Some of these exercises might be helpful for those who have chronic conditions such as asthma, high-blood pressure, chronic stress, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, or body aches.
Please Note: These exercises are NOT cures but rather tools to manage symptoms and to stabilize the situation so that the body and mind can regain balance. In most cases, a full remedy of chronic conditions, if its possible, would require long term lifestyle changes. In this regard, you should continue the medication and suggestions prescribed by your doctor.
