Our mission is to make yoga, art, and meditation accessible to Hong Kong’s most vulnerable communities.

YAMA Foundation services people with disabilities & special needs,
people living in poverty and people with poor mental health.

We offer accessible wellbeing programmes and events directly to beneficiaries as well as in collaboration with a network of community NGO partners, schools, and other service organisations. We advocate for the inclusion of people with special needs, promote accessibility awareness and train professionals and caregivers for adaptive wellbeing approaches.

Help us open an Accessible Wellbeing Centre

Approximately 10% of Hong Kong’s population has a disability or SEN. That’s about 750,000 people. Currently, we hold our Yoga Therapy Programme for people with disabilities and special needs in rented spaces around the city. It is a constant struggle to find venues with proper accessible facilities for these people.

Our goal is to open Hong Kong’s first Accessible Wellbeing Centre, purpose-built for the people we serve.

And we need your help.

YAMA’s Unique Approach

YAMA Foundation takes a unique approach to facilitating wellbeing through yoga, expressive arts and mediation. Our approach is low-cost, low-tech and designed to be broadly deployed for intervention, rehabilitation, and/or prevention. Our programmes are designed to be inclusive, accessible, culturally sensitive and trauma aware. They are supported by research protocols to measure progress. Our teachers hold higher level qualification, are first-aid certified and undergo regular background checks.
