The weather will factor into what healthy events you choose to take part in this weekend. If Super Typhoon Yagi passes the city by quickly, some outdoor events may go on as scheduled – including one offering running tips from a pro at the waterfront in Central, and an outdoor guided tour in Pok Fu Lam Country Park at night.

No matter the weather, everyone is welcome to drop by the Ikigai yoga and meditation studio to mark its anniversary. Or you can join a book reading/board games session to relax and chill, alone or with friends.

1. Ikigai Causeway Bay 3rd Year Anniversary

If you are seeking shelter from Super Typhoon Yagi’s gale force winds this Saturday, or just looking for a peaceful, happy space, drop by Ikigai’s pop-up party to celebrate its third year in business in Causeway Bay.

The yoga and meditation studio’s name is taken from the Japanese word meaning “a reason for being”. It opened during the Covid-19 pandemic, offering a respite for yogis new and old to pause, and pose – and breathe.

All are welcome to join, to tour the studio, and to try some challenges including holding the “chair” pose, taking a short yoga quiz and leaving a message on the Wishing Tree. Collect “stamps” on your Ikigai passport for a chance to win prizes.

Expect games, music and refreshments. Doors open at 4pm; festivities end after 5.30pm.
