Cielo is my yoga friend. We both do yoga - she goes to Yoga Manila in Makati, I used to go to Bikram Yoga in Makati and now I do Body Balance at Fitness First - but we haven't done yoga together until the day we decided to go to Chi Spa. Aleq's aunt and uncle who do yoga in New York tried it when they were here so I told Cielo about it and we decided to try it. The Chi Spa is inside the EDSA Shangrila Hotel. It was very serene, especially on a Saturday morning. The Beginner's Ashtanga class was so relaxing and it was a great workout too. After the two-hour class, we went over to the Shang mall and had a healthy lunch at Cibo. I think we're going to do this more regularly once our busy weekend schedules calm down.
