Laughter, tasty treats and good company — that's what filled the YAMA Centre last month.

Our Senior Social Gathering, kindly supported by our growth partner and funder, The D. H. Chen Foundation, brought together familiar faces and new friends for an afternoon of connection, wellbeing, and shared joy.

From gentle activities to easy conversation, every moment reminded us how much lighter life feels when we experience it together.

At the YAMA Foundation, we believe wellbeing has no age limit — and neither does community. Seeing our seniors smile, connect, and feel truly welcome is what this space is all about.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. You make the YAMA Centre feel like home. 🌿

歡笑、美食、窩心的伙伴 — 上個月的 YAMA 中心，滿載溫馨。

我們的「長者社交聚會」，承蒙成長夥伴及資助機構 —— 陳廷驊基金會 鼎力支持，讓一眾熟悉的臉孔與新朋友歡聚一堂，共度一個充滿連繫、身心健康與歡樂的下午。

YAMA 基金會相信：身心健康和社羣歸屬感皆沒有年齡界限。無論是輕鬆的活動，還是隨意的閒談，每一刻都讓我們明白：原來一起經歷，生活會倍感輕省。長者們的笑容與連繫，就是這個空間存在的意義。

July is Disability Pride Month! 🌈 And we’re all in on this year’s theme: “The World Works Better With Us.”

At YAMA, we see this truth every single day. Watching beneficiaries like Keung grow in confidence and independence reminds us that our community shines brightest when everyone can take part.

Here’s the thing about inclusion: it lifts everyone. When we build communities that respect and include disabled people—from classrooms and workplaces to transit and public spaces—we all benefit. In fact, so many tools we rely on every day were born from disability-led advocacy and design. Think ramped curbs, closed captions, voice-to-text, and audiobooks. The world really does work better with disabled people leading the way.

We’re committed to playing our part. Our YAMA centre is fully accessible, so everyone feels welcome the moment they walk in—and that includes our yoga therapy programmes, which are designed to be accessible to all. Because wellbeing should be for all of us—and when one of us thrives, we all thrive. 💚

七月是「殘疾自豪月」（Disability Pride Month）！🌈 我們全力支持今年的主題：「有我們，世界更美好。」
在 YAMA，我們每天都親眼見證這個真理。看著像強仔這樣的受益人在自信與自主方面不斷成長，正提醒著我們——當每個人都能參與其中，我們的社群才會綻放最耀眼的光芒。

關於共融，有一點值得深思：它能提升每一個人。當我們建立一個尊重並接納殘疾人士的社會——無論是課室、職場，還是公共交通和公共空間——每個人都能從中受惠。事實上，我們日常依賴的許多設施，正是源於由殘疾人士主導的倡議與設計，例如斜台路緣、字幕、語音轉文字，以及有聲書。當殘疾人士站在前線引領方向，世界確實會運作得更好。

我們致力盡一分力。YAMA 中心設有完善的無障礙設施，讓每位到訪者由踏進門的一刻起便感到賓至如歸——這份理念同樣貫徹於我們的瑜伽治療計劃，務求讓所有人都能參與。因為身心健康應該屬於我們每一個人——當我們當中有一人茁壯成長，我們所有人都會一同茁壯。💚

This morning, we had the privilege of spending time with Keung, one of our beneficiaries, and our hearts are absolutely full. We watched him move through a Yoga Therapy session with his wonderful teacher, Lucia — and the progress we witnessed was truly breathtaking.

Improved mobility. The ability to eat independently. For us, these aren’t just words — they’re life-changing milestones made possible through our Yoga Therapy programme and our incredible teachers trained in adaptive and trauma-informed practices.

Moments like these remind us exactly why we do what we do. And none of this would be possible without Keung’s amazing family (special shout-out to his Supermum!) and dedicated teachers like Lucia.

今早，我們有幸與其中一位受益人強仔共度了一段寶貴時光，內心滿載感動。我們看著他在出色的導師 Lucia 帶領下完成一節瑜伽課 — 而我們所見證的進步，實在令人驚嘆。

行動能力提升了，也能夠自己進食了。對我們而言，這些不僅僅是文字，而是足以改變生命的重要里程碑 — 這一切都有賴我們的瑜伽治療計劃，以及一眾接受過適應性及創傷知情練習訓練的優秀導師。

正是這些時刻，讓我們深深明白自己為何堅持這份工作。而這一切，全靠強仔了不起的家人（特別要向他的超級媽媽致敬！）以及像 Lucia 般盡心盡力的導師。

We were thrilled to learn that one of our beneficiaries received the “Hong Kong Outstanding Student Sports Award”, from AS Watson Group, in recognition of his year-long improvement 🌟 We are so proud of his efforts and are delighted to see him gain greater mobility and wellbeing through our Yoga Therapy programmes. 💚

我們欣悉一位服務對象獲頒「屈臣氏集團香港傑出學生運動員獎」，以表揚他一年來的進步及努力，實在感到無比雀躍。🌟 我們為他的付出深感自豪，亦十分高興看見他透過我們的瑜伽治療課程，提升了行動能力及身心健康。💚
