You will explore how to:

Use breath awareness and pranayama to support relaxation and stress management

Why Join?
When life feels rushed, the breath is often the first thing we lose awareness of—and the first place we can return to for grounding.

This workshop offers more than techniques to memorize. It is an opportunity to explore how skilful breathing can help create space between stress and reaction, bring steadiness to the mind, and support a more balanced emotional state.

Spaces are limited. Reserve your place and join Master Dyana for an afternoon of learning, practice, and reconnection through the breath.

AYC Volunteers Stand Strong with GCBC

Andiappan Yoga Community (AYC) was honoured to take part in GCBC’s 20th Anniversary Celebration and Breast Awareness Event at Central Market, Hong Kong.

Guided by the meaningful event theme, Because of You, I Stand Strong,” the day was a heartfelt celebration of courage, resilience, compassion, and the collective support that empowers cancer survivors throughout their journey.

Our dedicated AYC Project Leaders — Ms Hazel, Ms Deborah, and Ms Fiona — led participants through a gentle, accessible Yoga Therapy sequence. The session offered a supportive space for mindful movement, calming breath awareness, and moments of connection, helping participants explore the potential of yoga as a compassionate complement to wellbeing and recovery.

Dr. Yogananth, Founder and Director of Andiappan Yoga Community, together with Ms Anna Hsu, AYC Advisor attended the event.

A sincere thank you to GCBC for inviting AYC to be part of this inspiring occasion. We are grateful to every participant, cancer survivor, supporter, organiser, and AYC volunteer who contributed to making the event so special.

Together, we stand stronger — through awareness, care, community, and hope. 💗

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.
