Yoga by the Water

Yesterday's heavy bulging left me bloated and sleepless. But the excitement of today's event got me jumping out of bed in the early morning at 7am.

I was pretty excited when i sign up for the event last week as my 3 years of yoga experience was self-taught, through yoga books, videos and practiced in the privacy of my home.

Never had i an opportunity to perform the act with so many others and not to say, with yoga instructors.

Yoga by the Water event was organized by the Public Utilities Board (PUB) in conjunction with World Water Day '08.

Under guidance of 2 professional yoga instructors, our mass yoga session was performed by the scenic waters of Upper Peirce Reservoir!

Oh, and the crowd cheered with the appearance of PUB's bubbly and lively mascot Water Wally!

It was a liberating feeling doing Yoga under the clear blue morning sky, breathing in the freshest morning air, by the waterside. With about 200 of us stretching away through the hour routine.

We each receive a beautiful printed goody bag! Complete with a copy of PURE magazine, a pen, Cafe Nova coffee packs, a sampler of Nivea sun protection lotion and Oxygen face wash.

Oh! The best was the thick, red yoga mat which we get to bring home after the session.

Mom totally enjoyed this yoga session i signed her up with. We even got glimpses of ourselves on evening news today, haha... that feels funny.

And we both got our fair share of muscle aches the following day.
