Welcome to YAMA Foundation!
We offer free and low-cost wellbeing services for people with disabilities, special education needs, chronic illness, and those facing disadvantages of any kind.
Your support makes it possible!
Yoga, expressive arts and mindfulness therapies are effective forms of preventative health and rehabilitation support for families in need who cannot afford private care. Families endure long wait times for public health services, which wastes crucial opportunity to support their wellbeing needs. YAMA Foundation offers community-based solutions for people to develop health, strength and mental resilience in a supportive community — making wellbeing accessible and affordable for Hong Kong’s most vulnerable.
At YAMA, our vision is that all people, regardless of ability or background, have the right to feel good in their bodies, find peace in their minds, live vibrantly and belong to a caring community!
THE YAMA CENTRE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN!

YAMA is committed to improving physical and mental wellbeing for everyone, regardless of income or ability. With 23% of Hong Kong's population living in poverty and 61% facing mental health challenges, accessibility is at the heart of our mission.
Our newly opened YAMA Centre is a community-focused space designed to be fully inclusive, featuring a ramped entrance, adjustable lighting, disabled facilities, spacious corridors, lifts, and excellent transport links. At YAMA, we strive to create a safe, empowering, and welcoming environment for all.

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.
