SINGAPORE - Shape Yoga in the Park 2013, Singapore's biggest women-only mass yoga workout, concluded successfully this morning at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Grand Lawn I.

Shape Yoga in the Park 2013 is the fourth instalment of a series of women-only outdoor mass yoga events organised by Shape Singapore, a publication by SPH Magazines Pte Ltd.

In 2011, the inaugural Shape Yoga in the City was held at Scape. In May 2012, the second edition of Shape Yoga in the City was held at Dhoby Ghaut Green. In Oct 2012, Shape Yoga by the Sea was held at Dalbergia Green, East Coast Park.

With more than 700 participants, Shape Yoga in the Park 2013 is the largest women-only outdoor yoga event in Singapore.

The 75-minute workout was led by True Yoga instructors who brought the participants through a series of invigorating stretches and poses.

At the end of the workout, participants were treated to refreshments and a yoga demonstration by True Yoga masters. Each participant also took home a goodie bag worth more than $150 each. Goodies inside included True Yoga passes, Homesoy Original Soya Milk, Yoplait yogurt, Shape sports bag, and more. There were also fringe activities such as product sampling as well as a lucky draw with prizes worth a total of more than $600.

Li Yuling, editor of Shape Magazine, said: "As Singapore's leading wellness magazine, Shape is working hard to encourage more women to get active. Exercise doesn't have to be tough or tedious - we've proven it can be a positive social activity. The graceful, low-impact movements of Yoga suit women of all ages and fitness levels, and our series of outdoor mass yoga workouts offer women the regular opportunity to have fun with their girl friends, family members and colleagues while working up a good sweat."

Diana Lee, General Manager, Fashion and Beauty, SPH Magazines, said: "Shape Yoga events have proven to be highly popular, with participation numbers growing with each edition. We are proud to be at the forefront of the women's fitness movement in Singapore and would like to thank all participants and partners for their enthusiasm and support. We promise there will be more to look forward to in the months to come."

Shape Yoga in the Park 2013 is presented by Yoplait, with True Yoga as official fitness partner.
