Laugh your troubles away
A good giggle can go a long way to improving your health. At least, that’s the premise behind Laughter Yoga, a blend of “tension-releasing” laughter and breathing exercises.
Classes are held in the great green outdoors at HortPark once a week and are open to all. Why not give it a try and see if laughter really is the best medicine?

It's time to dance
It may seem out of place, but Singapore does, in fact, have its very own Country Line Dance Association. The good people at CLDAS put their serious stomping and sliding on public display a couple of nights a week.
Track them down for a look at some tropical two-stepping—and for a small fee you can even join in. Now there’s a unique story to tell when you get back home!

Take It Outside
A park with a difference
For a very different Singapore experience, head to Pasir Ris Park to try your hand at pond fishing or horseback riding. Up the adventure quotient by renting a kayak, bike or rollerblades, or explore the park’s mangrove forest.
When you’ve had your fill of activities, wander in to one of the many cafes in the area for a beachfront seafood meal and a cold beer. It doesn’t get much better than this!
