YAMA Foundation We share our skills with compassion, that students may realise their unique strengths, and positively contribute to the world.

YAMA Foundation is a registered charity whose mission is to make yoga, art, and meditation accessible to underserved and disadvantaged communities in Hong Kong. YAMA Foundation believes that all people have their fundamental right to feel good in their bodies, feel peaceful in their minds, live colourful lives, and be part of a caring community - regardless of their background or ability. Our miss

Our outreach programmes serve Hong Kong's most vulnerable communities, including people with disabilities, special needs, or chronic illness, and extend to hospices, prisons, social service organisations, schools, charities, and other non-profit organisations.

YAMA is thrilled to have secured a space for our Accessible Wellbeing Centre at FLK Tower, Wanchai! 🥳 Finding a truly accessible location in HK wasn’t easy, but thanks to Colliers, we found the perfect spot while highlighting the importance of inclusive spaces. Accessibility is more than logistics—it’s a mindset. 👌🏻💚

YAMA chatted with Arnav Sethi, Leasing Executive, Office Services at Colliers, who shared his insights and tips on securing this location and how it has shaped his approach moving forward.

YAMA 很高興宣布,「無障礙身心健康中心」正式落戶於灣仔馮良記中心!要在香港找到一個真正無障礙的空間殊不容易 —— 但多得高力國際(香港)物業顧問團隊的支持,我們不僅成功覓得理想地點,更一同彰顯了共融空間的重要性。無障礙不只是後勤安排,更是一種思維模式。

YAMA 有幸邀請到高力辦公室租賃部執行主任 Arnav Sethi,與我們分享他在選址過程中的寶貴經驗與反思,以及如何影響他日後對無障礙物業的看法與實踐。詳情請瀏覽我們的網站,閱讀完整專訪!👌🏻💚
