Body and Soul with Señorita Yogini

Published

on

Breathe. Stretch. And relax to soothing music. These are just a few of the beautiful traits of yoga: one of the best exercises to balance the mind, body and soul in equilibrium and harmony. Over the weekend, Singapore celebrated a tropical outdoors yoga class along with live musical performances called BlissOut ‘15. We were able to pop in a quick chat with yoga ambassador Selina, aka Señorita Yogini, on why and how yoga can be a beneficial asset to your life.

Please introduce yourself and tell me what you’re wearing.

Hi, I’m Selina aka Señorita Yogini and I’m a yoga addict! I’m wearing leggings by Ohsosom, a Singapore-based brand started by my friend. Aren’t they gorgeous!


Can you demonstrate or give advice on breathing techniques?
In yoga, we move with the breath and breathe through the nose–deep inhales with the nose, smooth exhales also with the nose. Nasal breathing keeps the breath active, and helps to keep the mind focused. And the general rule of thumb is every inhalation is for expanding and lengthening of the body, while every exhalation is for contracting and grounding.

How did you discover and get interested in yoga?
A few years ago I stumbled across *the* Equinox video featuring Briohny Smyth, who is my yoga idol. The strength and grace demonstrated by her completely blew my mind, especially the parts where she was in arm balances and inversions. That marked the start of my obsession for defying gravity yoga style.

What is the most positive and health empowering aspect of yoga?
To me, the best thing about yoga is how it continually pushes our edges. The human mind and body is such an amazing thing that can do so much and yoga allows me to discover it slowly and at my own time. And when I do nail a certain pose that I’ve been working on for a while, the feeling of empowerment is truly out of this world.


How often do you practice and what is your favourite style of yoga?
I love dynamic, fast-paced movements so flow classes is my favourite style. I practice about 4-5 days a week, on top of teaching 15 classes weekly at Yoga Movement.


What has been the highlight of the BlissOut Festival so far?

Definitely the set-up against an amazing backdrop of Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore CBD. I also love the chill-out area with the hammocks… And the whole energy from all the yogis. Definite bliss for me!

What are your best health tips?

There is no better time to start than NOW

Skilla Baby Teases New Project With “Free Big Meech”

Published

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

Published

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
