It’s never all bad when it rains. This time, the afternoon downpour lent Botanic Gardens a light ethereal misty look for Jiaying’s inversion and arm balance poses, and cleared the crowd away for us on a cool Monday evening. Jiaying is a certified yoga instructor as well as personal trainer – who just turned a full-fledged Singaporean (chop, stamp and all!) recently.
Her strength, grace, elegance and flexibility meant we got to play with a range of challenging poses she could hold freestanding (some with itty bitty help of her boyfriend Ant spotting before he ducked out of the frame), producing a series of gorgeous shots that would help her market her business as a yogi and PT.
We discussed outfits and even yoga mat colours before our shoot, resulting in a harmonious blend of natural shades to compliment the lush greenery in Botanic Gardens.
