Over the last 15 odd years, a lot of my friends, well wishers and mentors have suggested that I try Yoga to calm myself, learn to relax and control my anger.
Now I have always been one of those rough and tough guys who exercise everyday and maintain a balanced diet but are undisciplined in terms of lifestyle and abuse my body constantly, so I would usually scoff at their advise and at times, make fun of them.
However as age catches up with me, and as I realise with each passing day that my body cannot take as much as it could earlier; I have slowly started realising the importance of mental peace by being calm, composed, relaxed and in control of my emotions all the time, and started practising Yoga over the last 2 years.
While I myself practice Pranayam at home, I was checking whether there are free/ at-cost Yoda classes offered by organisations whose aim is to help people rather than making money (which means I ignore all those classes teaching hot yoga etc) - similar to an old uncle in my home city of Mumbai who used to conduct 2 week long classes for a nominal fee of Rs 250 (that's around SGD 6).
To my surprise, I found that there actually are a few organisations who conduct Yoga classes in various parts of Singapore, at no or nominal cost.
While I myself spent a considerable amount of time in googling various classes, checking the websites etc, for the benefit of others (to save time and effort), I have listed below links to websites of a few such organisations:
I hope this is useful to at least a few people around who are looking to learn Yoga to improve their health and quality of life.
If anyone has information on more such classes, please do share.
