Mrs Singh spoke on the benefits of yoga and its holistic approach to mind and body strength.
“Yoga does more than burn calories and tone muscles. It’s a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching poses with deep breathing and meditation or relaxation.”
She explained that there are different forms of yoga, some fast-paced and intense, others gentle and relaxing.
“Yoga is a great activity for you if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease. It gives you strength, flexibility, and mind-body awareness.”
After the talk, the seniors enjoyed a number of games, lucky draws and a delicious lunch.
