Pedestrian Night on Orchard Road is a six-month initiatives starting from 4th October whereby the stretch of road between Scotts Paterson Junction and Bideford Junction will be temporary closed from 6pm to 11pm on every first Saturday of each month. This is to create a space for community activities for the mass public to enjoy. The first event was a mass Tennis game which I was not aware of.
Yoga Beat is the 2nd installation and is organized by lululemon athletica, in partnership with Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA). This can be considered as Singapore's biggest yoga cum hip hop block party on the street with up to 1,000 yogis lining up the iconic Orchard Road.
lululemon athletica is a yoga-inspired athletic apparel company with a mission to build healthy communities and Yoga Beat is just the first of many fun and exciting events in the lead up to its store opening in Singapore.
This time round, not only did I not miss this big event, I was even given the chance to get the Full Access of the place. Thank you so much for the invites!
The event include performances by local percussionists, Bloco Singapura and music sets by lululemon ambassadors, May Ooi and Alicia Pan.
It's really a sight to behold as the usual shopping paradise, Orchard Road transformed into an open air studio. Yogis get to practice the Yoga moves under the Christmas lights with lululemon Singapore ambassadors, Lynn Yeo and Sumei Shum of space+light yoga, AntiGravity yoga instructor trainer Thicha and Seattle-based yoga teacher, Patrick Beach of Beachyoga. These are all famous local and overseas yoga instructors. Hip hop beats of local musicians DJ Koflow and rapper Kevin Lester was blasted out.
Some of the more difficult poses were performed during the break.
We have our fair share of Yoga movements too!
Having a great time with my friends and enjoying ourselves despite our busy schedules. Looking forward to attend more of such events! Till then, stay healthy, stay happy!
