A big thank you to The Hong Kong Club Foundation for having us at this year’s Charity Showcase, and for your generous support of our work! 💚

It was a joy to connect with fellow grantees and NGOs who are making such a difference across Hong Kong. We were proud to share the YAMA mission and show how yoga, mindfulness, and community can make wellbeing possible for everyone. 🧘✨

Grateful to be part of such an inspiring network.

衷心感謝 The Hong Kong Club Foundation (香港會基金) 邀請我們出席本年度的 Charity Showcase（慈善推介會），並一直慷慨支持我們的工作！💚

能與各受資助機構及非牟利組織交流，見證大家在香港各區帶來的正面改變，實在令人鼓舞。我們很榮幸能分享 YAMA 基金會的使命，並向大眾展示瑜伽、靜觀與社羣力量如何為每個人都能擁有身心健康。。🧘✨

很高興能成為這個充滿啟發性的網絡之其中一員，我們深感感恩。

This week, we at YAMA are proudly wearing green as part of OCDAHK’s Green Ribbon Campaign for Mental Illness Awareness Week— a movement to raise awareness and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness in Hong Kong and beyond. 💚

The green ribbon is a small symbol with a big message: you are seen, you are supported, and you are not alone.🫂

Mental illness isn’t always visible. It can be the coworker who seems fine, the friend caught in thoughts they can’t switch off, or someone quietly carrying worry no one else can see. Recovery and hope are real, and it starts when we talk openly and listen without judgment.

We are proud supporters of OCD & Anxiety Support HK ,a mental health charity dedicated to providing support, education, resources, and counselling right here in Hong Kong. Their work makes a real difference every single day.
As we work together to raise awareness, take a moment to check in on someone you care about today.

A small act of kindness can mean more than you know.

本週，YAMA 全體成員自豪地佩戴上綠絲帶，「OCDAHK」（強迫症及焦慮症支援協會）在「精神疾病關注週 - Mental Illness Awareness Week」發起的「綠絲帶運動」。這項運動旨在提升公眾意識、消除香港及世界各地對精神疾病標籤污名化。💚

綠絲帶是一個小小的象徵，卻傳遞著重大的訊息：您被看見了，您得到支持，您並不孤單。🫂

精神疾病並不總是顯而易見的。它可以是那位看似一切安好的同事，是那位腦海裏思緒停不下來的朋友，也可能是一個默默承載著憂慮、卻無人察覺的人。康復與希望是真實存在的，而這一切從我們坦誠交談、不帶批判地聆聽開始。

我們很自豪能夠支持「OCDAHK」（強迫症及焦慮症支援協會），這是一家專門在香港本地提供支援、教育、資源和輔導的精神健康慈善機構。他們的工作，每天都在帶來切實的改變。

在我們一同提升大眾關注的同時，也請您今天抽空，花一點時間，向一位您在乎的人問候一聲。一個小小的善舉，其意義可能遠超您的想象。

Thank you for such a beautiful morning of release and relief 💚

When it comes to managing pain, tightness, stress, and discomfort, learning how to move it through and out of the body is everything — releasing what’s been stuck and creating space for real relief.

Last Saturday at YAMA Centre in Wan Chai, we came together for Relief Through Release: MELT and Breathwork for Chronic Pain — part of our ongoing Accessible Wellbeing Community Series. Created to bring inclusive wellbeing sessions across a range of topics to everyone in our community, regardless of ability or mobility.

It was a morning to slow down, soften, and give our hardworking bodies some much-needed care.

🧘‍♀️ Katia guided us through a 1-hour MELT Hand & Foot treatment, using soft balls to rehydrate connective tissue, ease stiffness, and calm the nervous system.

😮‍💨 Gabi then led a 40-minute Breathwork & Yoga Nidra session, helping us release tension and find a little more stillness and clarity.

For those living with chronic pain, illness, or limited mobility, finding the right support can make all the difference. Chronic pain can feel isolating — and this workshop was designed to offer gentle, accessible tools to support your journey.

A heartfelt thank you to Katia Bacon (PathCoach ) and Gabi for their compassionate and beautiful guidance. 💚

感謝大家一同度過這個充滿釋放與紓緩的美好早晨 💚

談到應對痛症、繃緊、壓力和不適時，學會如何將它們引導並排出體外正是關鍵：釋放積聚在身體的鬱結，為真正的紓緩創造空間。

上星期六，我們在灣仔 YAMA 中心聚首，參與了「釋放，即是紓緩：運用MELT及呼吸法，紓緩慢性疼痛」工作坊，這是我們持續舉辦的「無障礙身心健康社羣系列」的一部分。這個系列希望為社羣中的每一位，不論能力或活動能力如何，帶來涵蓋不同主題、共融的身心健康活動。

這是一個讓我們放慢步伐、放鬆身心的早晨，好好照顧一下辛勞的身體。🧘‍♀️

Katia 帶領我們進行了一小時的 MELT 手足療程，利用軟球為結締組織補充水分、紓緩僵硬，並安撫神經系統。😮‍💨 隨後，Gabi 帶領了40分鐘的呼吸練習及瑜伽睡眠術（Yoga Nidra），幫助我們釋放繃緊，尋回更多的寧靜與清晰。

對於正受慢性痛症、長期病患或活動能力受限之中的朋友，找到合適的支援，能帶來莫大的改變。慢性痛症往往讓人感到孤單無援，而這個工作坊正是希望提供溫和、易於掌握的方法，在康復旅程上支持大家。

衷心感謝 Katia (PathCoach ) 和 Gabi，以充滿關懷與熱忱的指導。💚

Mid-Autumn has been extra special this year! 🌝✨

Over the last few days, we’ve been gathering with our senior community to celebrate the season with festive snacks, warm laughter, and some playful mindful games:

🍪 Listening & Body Response — a fun tag-on cookies challenge

🏓 Breathing in Focus — blowing and catching a ping pong ball

🧘 Focus & Teamwork — balancing a ball on a yoga strap, together

Every giggle and shared moment has been a beautiful reminder that wellbeing is for everyone, at every age.

Here’s to full moons, full hearts, and a community that keeps showing up for one another.

This special gathering was supported by our growth partner and funder, The D. H. Chen Foundation — thank you for making moments like these possible. 🙏

今年的中秋節，別具意義！🌝✨

過去幾天，我們與長者社羣共聚一堂，分享應節小食、溫暖的笑聲，以及幾款趣味的正念小遊戲來慶祝佳節：

🍪 聆聽與身體反應：一個有趣的「曲奇傳情」大挑戰
🏓 專注呼吸：吹起並接住乒乓球
🧘 專注與團隊合作：一同在瑜伽帶上平衡一個球

每一聲歡笑、每一個共聚的時刻，都美妙地提醒著我們，健康福祉屬於每一個人，不分年齡。💛

願每一個月圓，都伴隨著滿滿的心，也願我們的社羣繼續守望相助、彼此陪伴。

這次特別聚會，由我們的發展夥伴及捐助機構 — 陳廷驊基金會全力支持，感謝您讓這些美好時刻得以成真。🙏

A wonderful afternoon at the LRC! 🧘‍♀️

We were thrilled to bring our Chair Yoga session to the Sports Fun Day, where senior participants embraced movement, mindfulness, and plenty of fun. It was incredible to see so much positive energy and engagement in the room — proving that it’s never too late to enjoy the benefits of yoga. A huge thank you to the LRC for having us and to every participant who joined in with such enthusiasm! 💚

在婦女遊樂會（LRC）一同度過了歡愉的下午！🧘‍♀️

我們深感興奮，能將椅子瑜伽課堂帶到她們舉辦「體育同樂日」，讓一眾長者參與者投入活動、靜觀練習，並享受滿滿的樂趣。看到現場洋溢著如此正面的能量與投入感，實在令人難以置信，證明了體驗瑜伽的好處，永遠不嫌遲。衷心感謝婦女遊樂會邀請我們參與，亦感謝每一位以如此熱情投入活動的參加者！💚

What an incredible milestone! 🎉 We recently celebrated the 1-year anniversary of the YAMA Centre with a truly special day.

The celebrations kicked off with an afternoon gathering with our beneficiaries, filled with games, yoga, and a heartfelt blessing ceremony for the centre. It was a joy to mark one year of impact alongside the very people we exist to serve. A big thank you also to one of our beneficiaries who kindly gifted us some beautiful fruit baskets to share!

As the sun set, we welcomed guests to An Evening of Kirtan — an ancient, joyful practice of call-and-response chanting that uses sound, rhythm, and community to cultivate deep inner peace. Led by Clayton Horton (vocals, guitar) and Savio Woo (bass guitar), the room came alive with music, connection, and open hearts. Our teachers also guided a beautiful sound healing session to round out the evening.
Guests were treated to light bites, and whether they sang loudly or softly, every voice added to the magic of the night.

One year in, the YAMA Centre continues to show just how powerful community and connection can be — and we can’t wait to keep building on that in the months ahead.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in marking this incredible milestone and for making it so special 🙏

多麼令我們難以置信的里程碑！🎉 我們最近慶祝了YAMA中心成立一週年，度過了別具意義的一天。

慶祝活動由與 YAMA 受惠者一同度過的下午聚會揭開序幕，當中充滿遊戲、瑜伽，以及一場為中心而設、發自內心的祝福儀式。能與我們一直以來所服務的對象，一同慶祝這一年來的成果，實在是一份喜悅。特別感謝其中一位 YAMA 受惠者，慷慨送上美麗的果籃，讓大家一起分享這份心意！

隨著夕陽西下，我們迎來了「梵唱之夜」的來賓 — 梵唱是一種源自古老傳統、充滿愉悅的唱誦練習，以一唱一和的方式進行，透過聲音、節奏與羣體的力量，培養出深層的內心平靜。由 Clayton Horton（主唱、結他）及 Savio Woo（低音結他）帶領，現場洋溢著音樂、連繫與敞開的心。我們的頌缽導師亦帶領了一節優美的聲頻療療癒環節，為這個夜晚畫上完美句號。我們亦為來賓預備了美味小食，無論是高歌還是輕唱，每一把聲音，都為這個夜晚增添了獨特的魔力。

一年過去，YAMA中心持續展現著社羣與連繫的強大力量——我們非常期待在未來的日子，繼續在此基礎上邁步向前。感謝每一位出席，並讓這個特別的里程碑更加圓滿的您 🙏
