Yoga In Common Singapore

60+ Yoga

Growing older is a blessing. Having made our way through the ups and downs of life, we are in the privileged position to look back on what we have accomplished and look forward to new adventures. This is also the time to focus on self care - to ‘future proof’ our bodies so that we can maintain the quality of life that we deserve.

We are very excited to create a yoga class catered for those aged 60 & above. Research has shown that a gentle exercise routine practised 2-3 times weekly helps with heart conditions, blood pressure, diabetes, bone density, memory retention and slows down the degenerative effects of aging. Exercise, movement and community also elevate our mental wellbeing. ✨

Remember … there is never a bad time to start, and it is never too late!🫶🏼

Join us to discover all the amazing benefits of gentle movement, mobility exercises, meditation and breathing. Improve your health and wellbeing in a safe and supported environment. Enjoy our thoughtfully curated classes and feel better after every session.

Sign up your mum, dad, or friend! Do feel free to join them for a nourishing class. Everyone is welcome. 🙏

~Testimonial~

As a yoga teacher, practitioner and a lifelong learner, I was very pleased to come across Sei Kim’s MYRing Yoga Teacher Training. Before the actual training, I had mistakenly assumed that we would be shown how to use the MYRing as a prop. I was onboard as I had used it many times in class, and I was looking forward to discovering more creative ways to use this prop. To my surprise and pleasure, we took away so much more. The training included a workshop on anatomy and the various ways in which the MYRing can help in recuperation and recovery as well as providing support for those who have specific physical needs. There was a lot of information to digest and Sei Kim expertly and methodically guided us through. She was clear, succinct, knowledgeable and was a warm and approachable teacher. Highly recommend.

Keep up the good effort, stay on the course, you are doing great!

This Partner Yoga class will be guided by Angie, and assisted by Jo.

This is an all-level class that suits everyone – you only need to arrive with a partner (optional) and an open heart.

Join Jo this Saturday afternoon for a special Gentle Yoga Aromatherapy class. 🌸

It will be a gentle heart opening class to expand our energetic & emotional capacity for acceptance, compassion & love. ❤️

Suitable for all levels including beginners.

✨ Special Class: Chair Yoga ✨

Chair Yoga has often been perceived as yoga for the elderly – this is not entirely true. As a yoga prop, the Chair is used extensively in yoga practices, particularly in the Iyengar tradition. For the rest of us, the Chair allows us to stay seated, or feel safe and supported while staying in a pose.

Chair Yoga makes yoga accessible for older adults as well as those who have limited mobility due to injuries or other physical conditions. It is also a wonderful adaptation as it allows us to approach our practice from a more therapeutic & gentle angle, and still empowers us to build strength, flexibility, balance and stability.

We welcome everyone, including beginners to experience this special session.

From the Team at YIC

Mindfulness is a mental practice that involves being focused and paying non-judgmental attention to the present moment. ✨

It means being fully present in the here and now, without getting caught up in regrets about the past or worries about the future.

➡️ Swipe to see what practicing mindfulness typically involves.

As a fundamental aspect of yoga practice, practicing mindfulness on and off the mat can have various benefits, including reducing stress, improving emotional regulation, and increasing overall well-being.

If you're new to the practice and require some guidance, join our Mindfulness & Relaxation class every Wednesday 7.30 - 8.30pm.

There is much to uncover when we tap into our inner wisdom. We can set our intentions for the new year from this place of deep awareness. 🧡
