[Mother's Day Special] Mind Body Spirit Festival 2013 : Workout in the Sky at Singapore Flyer

Mother's day falls on the second Sunday of May every year and every year we would just have a simple meal together outside. If you asked me where we went to last year, I can't even recall. It could be one of her favourite Zi Char stall or the vegetarian restaurant we frequent. 


So this year, why not make Mother's Day an even more special and memorable occasion by bringing them to the Singapore Flyer for the Mind Body Spirit Festival 2013 event whereby a wide selection of yoga, pilates, zumba and other health workshops at various venues of the Singapore Flyer complex is available for sign up by the whole family. Healthy lifestyle starts together as a family!

This event is put together by Icon Events and Singapore Flyer. Icon Event was also the organizer of Yoga by the Sea, the biggest yoga event in Singapore.   


I'm glad that Jessie extended her invitation to me and my mum to preview one of the event's highlight which is the 'Workout In The Sky', an in-capsule workshops that lasted for an hour. This bound to pamper my mum to the HIGHEST LEVEL! That's my mum looking great before we begins our one hour Yoga Session. 



Love this group photo of us with our colourful Yoga mat. Nice to know Ying Zi and Su Han from this event. So off we go to meet our instructors in the capsule for tonight's Yoga session. 


   
  Our professional instructors for the night. All smiles and friendly too. 



Let's begin with the first very simple pose. Looks like we are meditating right? But I tell you, the poses we were taught to do gets tougher as the capsule escalated higher. Hahaha.



Bend down and STRETCH!!! 


Pose! 



Pose again. 




Let the instructor guide you when the pose is too difficult to handle. They are really very patience and nice. A few poses I also couldn't really get it right the first time without their help. 



Let's try some couple pose. Yoga is not only about individual poses. It can also be done with a buddy or partner. Exercising together is more motivating this way.  



Buddy Stretch! Let's help each other to stretch! PULL~~



This pose is called "Sunbathing on a rock" if I remember clearly. Look at the beautiful night landscape in the backdrop! I think we've reached the peak of 165 meters above ground! Actually, we don't really have time to admire the beautiful scenery outside, we are totally focusing on our moves but the photos are all so well taken. Big thanks to the official photographer that night! 



We can do the pose like how the instructors are doing too. Wow, this pose is super tiring as we are balancing on one feet! So we need to grab the hand of our buddy for support.



That's us after the one hour Yoga. Really had a great workout. Good bonding with friends and mum as well. 



Beside this exclusive "Workout In The Sky", there will also be additional health and fitness workshops conducted within the Singapore Flyer complex on 11-12 May from 8.30am - 8pm. The Mind Body Spirit Fair will be open on both the days with about 40 booths featuring wellness products and services. 

Participants can also look forward to performances of yoga stunts, dances, capoeira and live music at the Greek Theatre. 

Come attend the 12 May workshops and your moms would be given flowers as part of the celebrations.   

Registration for the workshops can be done online at 


Registration will close on the 8th of May 2013. So hurry and book your tickets to this event  now!!! This is an event not to be missed! I personally think that the price is really very reasonable too. One session of one hour yoga plus and entry to the Singapore Flyer and the tickets also entitles participants complimentary entry to the Mind Body Spirit Festival at West Promenade and performances at the Greek theater. What more could you ask for?
