Get Set, Sweat: The Sanchaya welcomes fitness enthusiasts to decompress after the Bintan Marathon

Singapore, 17th July 2018 (Media release distributed by PR company Vim&Vigour) — Committed to offering an unparalleled guest experience through an ongoing programme of experts in residence, The Sanchaya has announced plans for two upcoming fitness residencies in September. The stylish, beach-front property is well suited to athletic guests, with a fully-equipped gym and a range of adventurous activities, such as BloKart sailing and OneWheel+ riding.

The second annual Bintan Marathon will be taking place from Saturday 7th to Sunday 8th September; the 21.1km half-marathon and 42.195km full-marathon routes will take participants around the scenic Lagoi Bay – the scenic area that surrounds the estate.

Throughout the marathon weekend, The Sanchaya will welcome Singapore-based Yogi, Camilla Knight, who will be on hand to offer pre-race yoga and post-marathon deep stretching classes for runners to help ease tired and aching muscles. Camilla has been practicing yoga for over 15 years, and is passionate about sharing the physical and emotional benefits of the practice that she has experienced.

Yoga can be vital in helping to prevent injury caused by sporting performance, as well as increasing performance by assisting with nerves and helping to stretch muscles. Designed to reenergize and refuel, the Estate Super Salad – frisee, romaine, rocket salad, quinoa, cucumber, smoked chicken, tomato and Vegan Crunch Salad – chickpea, lentil, quinoa, cherry tomato, cucumber are packed with nutrients and proteins to assist marathon recovery.
