Tirisula Yoga
11:43 PMA fortnight ago, I was invited to attend a 2-day exclusive event held by Tirisula Yoga (located at 80B Arab Street), alongside with about 20 other wonderful ladies :)
Tirisula Yoga is within a walkable distance from Bugis MRT Station, about a 10 minutes walk would bring you there! The interior of the yoga studio, I'd say, is very cozy and humble :) Nothing overly commercialized and definitely had ambience that's... therapeutic? Yeah, I think therapeutic was how I felt when I entered.
A little something to know about Tirisula Yoga is that unlike other yoga studios, Tirisula Yoga is a teacher training school (!) and they do provide internationally recognized certification (from Yoga Alliance U.S.A) to their students who complete their course. Which only means that I'm learning the most important fundamentals and basics from the yoga pioneers in Singapore, truly privileged! ^^

We started Day 1 of our event with some rounds of Sun Salutation led by Pamela, followed by exercises led by Master Teacher Weiling. We were tasked with two challenges, one each day, to complete for our event and winners per day would win a $100 voucher that can be spent on their classes/apparels. (This is alr on top of all the very generous and awesome sponsors we had!)
For day 1, our challenge was #tiribendit - a flexibility challenge
We had 4 poses/exercises on hand and it was really fun going through all the stretching, I hope I am not the only one who finds the pain from stretching to be shiok. hehe or maybe, I'm just quite a sadist when it comes to stretching.
The session lasted for about 2.5 hours (usual classes last around 1 hr) and I felt that the pace was just right considering that the class was made up of beginners and amateurs alike. Weiling was really patient with us and shared with us quite a bit about how to go about doing the different poses. I really wished we had more of that day actually!
After lunch, we had a theory class by Master Paalu and a sponsored talk by Belif Singapore. I was so stoked about this prior to attending the event when I heard Belif is a sponsor of this event!! I've personally tried using some of their products and they are my holy grails so when I saw them as a sponsor, a part of me kind of died from happiness HAHAHA
We were all given a deluxe travel set of some of their best selling items including the Numero 10 Essence, Hungarian Water Essence and the Aqua Bomb which are my fav! I'm a true sucker for skincare products that are paraben, alcohol and fragrance free due to my very sensitive skin.. and very few skincare products actually works for me, and those items mentioned above, they work. ;)
And we ended off the day with lucky me winning the #tiribendit challenge! I'm so excited to get some apparels with my vouchers because their apparels are REALLY PRETTY! Thank you Tirisula Yoga for your generosity! ^^
By the way, above is a sneak peek of how the Tirisula Yoga shop looks like. I LOVE EVERYTHING there!!!

I was late for Day 2 because I had to finish a submission first so I missed half of the yoga class :( The challenge of the day was #tiriholdit - challenge focusing on the core strength and balance.
The class was led by Master Paalu on the second day and he made everyone do headstands! Yay I've been wanting to do a proper headstand forever (I always tend to drop after 1 second -.- ) and I'm super happy that I managed to do one, holding in the position by myself for about 5 counts!!! Super achievement unlocked!
But yeah, all good things come at a price. I have no jawline in this photo due to the 100000 chins I had by going against gravity HAHAHA
I loved the lunch provided that day, especially these vegan cupcakes! (btw we ate really clean for the two days!) I loveeee vegan cupcakes because generally I am not a fan of (too much) butter and milk in my pastries. And boy, these cupcakes were so yummy! I had 2 of these gems - the double chocolate and the walnut one. The walnut one was just heavenly. I forgot to ask Pamela/Weiling/Master Paalu where they got these from!
After lunch, it was theory class by Weiling and it was quite intriguing because we learnt about the different body types (Ayurveda and the 3 doshas) and how it could actually relate to our career, diet, health etc! I found it to be really true and applicable for myself, hence I listened super attentively lol!!!
A really insightful class that afternoon that really piqued my interest, I wish I was more engaged and interested in my seminars and lectures like that HAHAHA.
Following which we had 2 sponsored talks - one by Infuusa and the other by Rachel K cosmetics! Infuusa is a cold brew tea company started up by Wei and we were given two bottles of Infuusa to try:
Personally I liked the Berries one more because it was simply more palatable HAHA... like the Lemon one had an aftertaste on my tongue. That siap siap feeling LOL
Lastly, we had a talk from Rachel K cosmetics. Rachel K was extremely generous with their sponsored products - they gave all of us 3x CC Renew cream and 3x CC Renew Pressed Powder in all shades!!! I exchanged away my Light tone with another blogger for Medium because I'm obviously a medium tone (accepted my fate that I can never be fair sobs) but kept the Extra Light tone for my sister :)
And if you didn't know, Rachel K cosmetics is actually the pioneer of CC Cream!!! I can't wait to start using my products hehe and again, their cosmetics range is suitable for sensitive skin type! I feel so taken care of, hehe :) And here's what you can do to win a set of Rachel K CC Renew Cream + CC Renew Pressed Powder:
And with that, it put an end to our 2 days event at Tirisula Yoga and it was an amazing time spent there :) Not to forget, the group of girls I met at the event who made those 2 days so much more enjoyable!:) Many many thanks to Pamela for the invite and Master Paalu and Weiling for being great hosts and teachers!
Of course, the wonderful sponsors (Belif Singapore, Infuusa, Rachel K, thefitnessgrocer and Provenance Distributions) who made us all feel really loved :) If you're keen on signing up for their Yoga classes, Tirisula Yoga is giving 50% off from their 50hr Transformation Yoga Training (January intake)!

Pardon the tired face because this was Day 2 and the night before I had a crazy 6 hour dance prac + Day 1 earlier + chiong assignment after that I was amazed I was alive the next day LOL
