TOPS Lookout in Busay, Cebu City, has become a sanctuary for yogis seeking elevation — both literal and spiritual. With panoramic views of the city and the sea, it hosts monthly sunrise yoga sessions led by Dawata Wellness, a local movement blending mindfulness, music, and community.
But! When is the Next Yoga Session?
The next Sunrise Yoga Session at TOPS Cebu is scheduled for Sunday, August 3, 2025, starting at 5:00 AM, while the shuttle service from IT Park is at 4:30 AM. The yoga session is hosted by Dawata Wellness and the event includes a soul-awakening flow, breathtaking views, and post-session treats like puto & sikwate.
Wellness Meets Nature
Outdoor yoga is experiencing a global resurgence, and the Philippines is no exception. From beaches to mountaintops, parks to heritage sites, yogis are reclaiming nature as their studio. Outdoor yoga removes barriers like studio fees and space limitations. Parks, beaches, and view decks become open-air sanctuaries for movement and mindfulness. Platforms like TikTok and Facebook have helped collectives like Dawata Wellness and YogaHub Cebu organize events, share schedules, and build inclusive yoga communities.
Why It’s Booming
Practicing in nature reduces stress, anxiety, and depression by tapping into biophilia which is our connection to the natural world. The fresh air improves lung function and cardiovascular health; sunlight boosts vitamin D and serotonin levels. In natural settings, it enhances focus, emotional resilience, and creative thinking. The activity of outdoor yoga fosters social connection and shared experience, especially in group settings like retreats or public classes
