About this Project:
A growing body of scientific research is beginning to confirm what yogis have known for millennia – yoga offers a wealth of benefits for everyone and seniors are no exception! Yoga classes for seniors are becoming increasingly popular – seniors are the fastest-growing demographic in yoga!

Mental health issues are common among the elderly aged 60 or above in Hong Kong. Andiappan Yoga Community has partnered with Social Welfare Department – Kwai Chung (East) Integrated Family Service Centre to teach tailor-made yoga classes for their needs. Our highly trained yoga teacher volunteers are now teaching gentle poses and breathing techniques that help to address depression and other mental and physical health issues.

Kwai Chung (East) Integrated Family Service Centre provide integrated services with a child-centred, family-focused and community-based approach. Integrated services promote resilience among families and individuals, and facilitate effective ways to prevent and cope with difficulties and challenges. Andiappan Yoga Community is now partnering with Kwai Chung (East) Integrated Family Service Centre to bring the benefits of yoga to elderly groups.

St. James’ Settlement is a well-established NGO dedicated to providing high-quality social services to meet the diverse needs of our community. Among their comprehensive services, they offer specialized care, rehabilitation training, and caregiver support for individuals facing cognitive challenges through their dedicated dementia care centers.

In partnership with St. James’ Settlement, AYC is excited to offer a series of accessible Chair Yoga sessions specifically designed for individuals with dementia. Our goal is to provide a safe, calm, and supportive environment where participants can engage in gentle movements using chairs for stability. This modified practice helps stimulate their senses, improve physical mobility, and experience emotional relaxation. We believe that tailored yoga can be a vital tool for enhancing well-being and bringing joy to their daily lives.

Yoga for Mothers at Caritas Jockey Club Integrated Services for Young People (Tak Tin)
The Caritas Jockey Club Integrated Service for Young People (Tak Tin) is dedicated in providing children and family support services to young people and families in East Kowloon. Apart from promoting family harmony through launching a wide range of diversified workshops and experiential programmes, it also seeks to support parents of adolescents and kids through providing consistent companionship, vocational development trainings, counselling and other community services.
The Andiappan Yoga Community (AYC) is delighted to partner with Caritas (Tak Tin) in providing yoga classes for mothers of children with special education needs (SEN) ranging from Primary 2 to Secondary 1, most of which also struggle with other mental conditions or emotional problems such as ADHD.
It is hoped that through providing a series of yoga therapy sessions to mothers who require both physical and mental support, AYC can help them release their tension and stress from their surrounding and thereby help foster a loving and caring neighbourhood for the community. By introducing the therapeutic benefits and healing power of yoga through the sessions, we hope all participants can walk away with a more balanced body, mind and soul.
Details of the project are as follows:
📅 Every Monday ⏰ 10:00 - 11:00 am
📍 Location: Tak Tin Estate, Lam Tin
🧘🏻‍♀️ Project Leader: Ms. Sze Ning Hope Lui
At AYC, we offer various health and wellness programs that create a welcoming environment for individuals from diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and ability backgrounds, ensuring everyone feels seen, heard, and supported.
