As we move into the second half of April, we're trading the mid-month rush for intentional living. From the curated lunch steals at the newly revamped City Square Mall to sunset yoga flow in the heart of CHIJMES, here is your cheat sheet to what’s happening around town this week:
Unwind Under the Open Sky with CHIJMES’ Weekly Yoga Sessions
Take a midweek pause and stretch into serenity with CHIJMES’ weekly yoga sessions, held every Thursday evening in April from 6.30PM to 7.30PM.
Guests are encouraged to secure their spots in advance via the Healthy 365 app by searching “HWE_CHIJMES,” with limited slots available on a first-come, first-served basis—book early to snag your spot.
Set against the scenic Main Lawn, the evening sessions offer a refreshing midweek reset in an open-air setting—bringing together gentle movement, fresh air, and a calming atmosphere right in the heart of the city. Admission is reserved for registered participants who arrive before 6.30PM.
Participants are reminded to bring their own yoga mat and arrive early to settle in comfortably before the session begins.
After a rejuvenating yoga session, treat yourself to a well-deserved post-workout bite or drink at CHIJMES, where a variety of dining and bar options await just a short stroll away.
Keep the vibes going at Harry’s CHIJMES, where ladies can enjoy 1-for-1 on cocktails, mocktails and alcohol-free beers every Thursday from 3pm to 8pm. For a more laid-back option, Anglo Indian Café & Bar offers all-day happy hour with comforting Indian favourites and bar bites, while 小川 Chuan Bistro serves Japanese-inspired izakaya-style plates perfect for sharing over drinks.
If you’re not in the mood for drinks, you can head down to Broth & Beyond for rich, comforting broths and bubbling hotpot favourites, or POCZARICA for indulgent, flavour-packed comfort dishes that hit the spot after a good stretch.
