WellnessYogi RESET 2015 is over!

On 11 July morning, it started drizzling at 6.30am and we organisers were praying really hard that the rain would dissipate by the time it came for the Sunrise Yoga session at 8am. Thankfully, the heavens heard our prayer and it was a lovely morning!

Sunrise Yoga Instructor, Fen Leong

The event kicked off with our Sunrise Yoga session, led by Fen Leong, who has been teaching yoga and pilates for the past 10 years. It was definitely invigorating as our participants went through a series of sun salutations as well as some pilates moves throughout the one and a half hour session.

After the yoga session, the audience were treated to juice tasting by Daily Juice and learnt about how juicing helps to cleanse the body of toxins by introducing more vitamins and minerals. Good news for our members and readers, you can get 10% off Daily Juice with the promo code wellnessyogi_DJ_10.  You can purchase online at www.dailyjuice.sg and choose whether to pick it up from their store or delivered to your place.

Dr Satnam Tripathi

Did you know that Yoga can be used to treat certain health conditions? While sipping on the juices, the attendees learnt how certain poses are used to help improve conditions such as asthma and even heart diseases! The audience listened with rapt attention and were busy asking questions as they too would like to prevent certain diseases from occurring while also coping with certain existing ones.

As the day went on, the temperature also increased and we were saved by the delicious ice cold Soyato - a premium non-dairy ice cream that is guilt-free as each mini tub was only 100 calories! Our kind friends at Soyato gave us an assortment of flavours such as Cookies & Cream, Salted Butterscotch and Red Velvet! Fret not if you didn't get a chance to sample these during WellnessYogi RESET as Soyato is kindly extending a 20% discount to our readers. Promo code and link can be found below:

The events went back in full swing in the afternoon when our Make up artist, Mia Yeh, came to talk about how to use make up to Reset One's Youth.

One of our attendees was even given a make 'over' on the spot. Wouldn't really call it a make over because she was gorgeous to begin with but Mia managed to show how 'natural' effects can be achieved but yet enhanced through make up. As she always says, "The natural look is actually the hardest to achieve with make up."

Senior consultant from Trichokare, Alysha Ng

Besides the face, you need to reset your youth with your crowning glory too! Senior consultant from Trichokare, Alysha Ng, then continued the afternoon beauty segment by talking about hair care and why hair loss occurs as well as how to prevent it. There was a quiz segment where some of our lucky attendees walked away with prizes after answering a few questions on hair.

Taiji session

The day eventually cooled down and we had a breezy Taiji session led by Master Sim Pern Yiau of Wu Tu Nan Taiji and when he saw the lovely view of the Marina Bay Waterfront Promenade, Master Sim decided to abandon the stage and faced all the participants towards the waters. Young and old joined in the session and the young were most intrigued when they physically felt their own 'qi'!

The taiji ended just as the National Day Parade Preview started and we could see the jets and helicopters fly above us. At 7.30pm, we were treated to wonderful firework display while all of us ate our dinners under our tent.

Night soon came and it seemed like our little session attracted a lot of onlookers! Our YOGA sign also received a lot of attention as both our participants and passers by starting taking photos with it.

The end of the fireworks display also marked the start of our highlight and final programme - the Kalari yoga.

Amanda brought her 'tribe' with her to demonstrate on stage and she definitely brought a flow to the crowd. There was a certain hum and peace to the whole yoga experience but yet the participants were definitely energised. As an organiser, we merely soaked in the atmosphere and were eternally thankful that it ended with such aplomb. Several participants went up to Amanda after the session to tell them how much they enjoyed her flow. Great stuff!

We're so grateful to everyone who made this event a success! We definitely could not have done it without all of you. Onto our next event - Beauty Week in November!!
