The daily 9 to 6 grind is exhausting, and we all need a break from office life, mum life (!) or the co-working space every once in a while.

Try some aerial yoga for a challenge, art therapy with a super fun graffiti art jam or tackle an obstacle course to practice teamwork. If you want a more relaxed session, maybe make a pizza together or learn how to create your favourite cocktails at a mixology workshop. With plenty of options, you can be sure to find something for your team in this round-up of team bonding activities in Singapore.

2. Mindfulness Workshop: team bonding at Canvass Mindfulness Centre
Sure, your team is working like a well-oiled machine and you’re hitting those targets amazingly without breaking a sweat, but how are your coworkers really? We got to try the Cultivating Super Concentration For Communication workshop at Canvass Life, where we learned how to concentrate better and manage stress – and we never knew how much we needed it until it ended! We immediately felt a sense of zen upon reaching the spacious Bukit Timah studio with the smell of calming essential oils wafting around the space. The 2-hour session started off with us sitting in a circle after picking our own oracle cards, and sharing what we felt our cards meant in the current phase of our lives. It was wonderful getting to know the different things that were going on in the background for each of us, especially because it covered deeply personal topics we normally don’t get to talk about in a work setting. This was followed by Physical Rejuvenation, where we learned exercises to shake away negativity and tension, and Mental Hygiene, which gave us tools and strategies to increase brain functions that drive concentration and awareness. Ultimately, we walked away with great tips on understanding and managing our stress triggers and distractions so we can break the cycle of stress, and focus better! We highly recommend this workshop for teams that want to get more in tune with each other and gain knowledge on simple concentration techniques.
Minimum pax: 8 participants.
How much: $433 per group session of max 16 participants/$45 per participant of min 8 participants
Online: $333 per group session of any group size/$35 per pax (Minimum of 8 pax to begin)

3. Aerial Art: team bonding at MAD Collection
Looking for an unconventional activity that will help you break a sweat and bond as a team? MAD Collection specialises in a range of beautiful aerial art forms and helps each person find inner strength and confidence through the power of movement. Whether you’re interested in trying pole dancing, lyrical dance or defying gravity with the aerial hoop, MAD Collection has just the class for you. We tried their Hammock and Aerial Hoop (a.k.a Lyra) and boy was it a unique experience! From learning how to spin above ground on the Lyra with a partner (great for team bonding as you have to coordinate!) to transforming our bodies into the shape of a mountain with a hammock, we left the class feeling strong, empowered and ready to conquer all! The movements that involved a partner helped us learn how to work better as a team and really get up close and personal since we had to support our body weight in a small space. All in all, we’d recommend this for anyone looking to step outside of their comfort zone with their team and challenge their physical and mental strength. Plus, they also have Mini Me classes where mum (or dad!) can join their kid for some quality bonding time.
