When it comes to staying fit, I’m always looking to try things that are interesting and different. So when I found out that Virgin Active offers yoga sessions on the Marina Bay Sands rooftop observation deck, I was excited to give it a try. The studio offers 45-minute SkyPark Yoga sessions at both sunrise and sunset. You can choose from...

The studio offers 45-minute SkyPark Yoga sessions at both. You can choose from a 7am session from Thursdays to Sundays, and 6.30pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays.However, Mark Seeto, the Global Head of Yoga and Pilates at Virgin Active, was in town to lead a special 90-minute sunrise session, so I got up early and went along.As we stepped out of the lift at the 57th floor of Marina Bay Sands, we were greeted by the sight of the Singapore skyline.

We also got a pair of wireless headphones to wear during the session, to hear the music and the instructor’s voice. The headphones were comfortable, with an adjustable headband and volume. They were quite effective at muffling surrounding sound and providing an immersive experience, which I really enjoyed. They also ensured that we could hear the instructor clearly no matter where we were – a bonus for those who prefer to stay in the back rows.

That said, it was still a rather calming experience. We were encouraged to breathe deeply, practise mindfulness, and really focus on the present moment. The panoramic views from the Skypark and the outdoor nature of the session made me pause to take in what was around me, so the session also felt like a much-appreciated break from the busy pace of life.Unfortunately, the outdoor nature of the session also means that it is susceptible to bad weather.
