So what is this yoga class?
The class will focus on holding yoga poses mindfully for 2-5 minutes to allow participants to stretch out tired muscles and find a space to relax and restore without the hustle and bustle of the city noise. This class will be complemented with sound healing to help with further relaxation. We hope to hold space for participants to embark on an inward experience to release stress and find ease in the body and the mind. Suitable for all levels, with modifications and variations offered to accommodate all participants.
We aim to make fitness for mental health accessible in Hong Kong. That’s why we offer places in our classes for free for those experiencing financial hardship.
Each TNN Yoga class costs $692.5 HKD, $255 is an NGO discounted rental of the space and $437.5 goes to our amazing instructor(s) as we believe in fair pay.
If you donate, you will be ‘paying it forward’ and providing a space in our next yoga class for someone facing financial hardship.
We want everyone to have access to the support they need, regardless of their identity or circumstance.
