About this Project:

SoCO was founded in 1971 by a group of clergymen and people who cared for the development and campaigned for a fair and just social system in Hong Kong. Currently, SoCO continues to assist the underprivileged (mainly residing in the Sham Shui Po vicinity) including caged-home dwellers, mentally ill patients, non-documented mothers of separated families and new immigrants’ families.

SoCO is presently supporting around 16,000 members (3,000 families) in its 3 community activity centers.

The Andiappan Yoga Community (AYC) is delighted to partner with SoCO in providing yoga classes for mothers/Caregivers of children with special education needs (SEN).

It is hoped that through providing a series of yoga therapy sessions to mothers/caregivers who require both physical and mental support, AYC can help them release their tension and stress from their surrounding and thereby help foster a loving and caring neighbourhood for the community. By introducing the therapeutic benefits and healing power of yoga through the sessions, we hope all participants can walk away with a more balanced body, mind and soul.

Who are the students in this project?

This is a Financially Accessible class open to beneficiaries of SoCO at their centre.

AYC深信瑜伽能帶來更多的身心靈上的好處,並致力於與他人分享瑜伽作為對社區的服務。瑜伽可以改善弱勢女性群體的身心健康,不僅可以為她們提供運動上的鍛煉,還可以幫助她們放鬆心靈,鍛煉自己的力量,更好地融入社會。

AYC被邀請為香港社區組織協會弱勢女性群體提供瑜伽練習課堂。透過練習瑜伽,強化身體。

SOCO於1971年由一群關心發展並為香港公平公正的社會制度而奮鬥的神職人員和人士創立。 目前,SOCO 繼續幫助弱勢群體(主要居住在深水坡附近),包括籠屋居民、精神病患者、失散家庭的無證母親和新移民家庭。

SoCO 目前在其 3 個社區活動中心為大約 16,000 名成員(3,000 個家庭)提供支援。

安迪潘瑜伽聯盟很高興宣布我們與SoCO合作,為特殊教育需求(SEN)兒童的母親/照顧者提供專門設計的瑜伽課程。

我們的目標是提供一系列針對這些敬業的照顧者身心健康的瑜伽治療課程。通過這些課程,我們希望幫助他們紓解日常生活中的壓力和緊張,營造一個滋養和支持的環境。通過介紹瑜伽的治療效益和療癒力量,我們的目標是讓所有參與者在身體、心靈和靈魂上獲得更平衡的感覺。

我們很興奮與SoCO一起展開這個旅程,並期待對這些了不起的母親/照顧者的生活產生積極的影響。一起,我們可以創造一個更強大和富有同情心的社區。
