While many people favour sleeping in on weekends, participants of the Marigold HL Balanced Life Yoga 2016 thought otherwise. On Oct 23, 600 of them turned up bright and early for the mass yoga session. Dressed in red event tees, they stood out against the green grass patch at The Float at Marina Bay. Energetic hosts Arnold Gay and Maddy Barber from Kiss 92 helped to kick-start it on a high, while their colleague, John Klass, did a live outdoor broadcast. The yoga session, led by Master Yogratten Dev Kapil from One Wellness Fitness Club, consisted of a 75-minute session of Tatva Yoga, followed by 15 minutes of pranayama breathing exercises. Participants enjoyed live music by harpist Eilidh McRae and the breathtaking view of Marina Bay during the session.

After stretching it out, they gathered for a toast with Marigold HL milk. They were then treated to a yoga demonstration by teachers from One Wellness Fitness Club, who showcased some amazing Instagram-worthy moves! They later tucked into a complimentary granola breakfast, courtesy of BoxGreen. Before the eventful morning came to an end, participants checked out the fringe activities at our sponsors’ booths and snapped photos with the adorable Marigold HL cow mascot. Prizes were given out to some lucky participants too, which included hampers from Marigold HL Milk worth $40 each, as well as one-year digital subscriptions from Shape. No one went home empty handed. Everyone received two goodie bags worth over $85. Goodies included vouchers from One Wellness Fitness Club and Manduka, a limited edition Marigold HL Milk yoga mat and a cooler bag.
