Not sure how yoga can be applied to your creative endeavours? Join Vicky Chong for Yoga and Poetry to learn more than just movements and poses; you'll find out how yoga makes us more attuned to our own minds and bodies, helping us be more conscious and deliberate not just as writers and creators, but as individuals. Net ticket sales go back to Poetry Festival (Singapore) to create more poetry activities for children and adults throughout the year. What is Yoga?Yoga is a union of mind and body, primarily using the breath. So anything we do - even poetry - can be yoga as long as we put awareness into it. A "yoga flow" involving physical movement and poses is a continuity of a constant conscious state of mind, usually achieved, aided or enhanced by breath control. Event DetailsSat, 23 Nov 2019 and 24 Nov 2019, 7.30am and 5.00pm for both days (yes, there 2 sessions in one day)Sun, 30 Nov 2019 and 1 Dec 2019, 7.30am and 5.00pm for both days (yes, there 2 sessions in one day)Location: The Eco Lake, Singapore Botanic Gardens (5 min walk from Botanic Gardens Train Station)Duration: 80 - 90 minutesTicket Pricing:Regular - $40.00 Additional donations options here are welcome until 2 Dec 2019, 12.00pmWhat are we gonna do?- Introduction to yoga including breathing exercises, warm ups, and basic poses.
