About this Event
So what is this yoga class?
The class is for those looking for a more challenging sweaty yoga session. Vinyasa in nature, this class will take you through a short meditation, followed by a dynamic practice where participants will progress through movement at a pace of one breath one movement alongside some upbeat music. This practice will focus on building strength, flexibility and a space for everyone to move for the body and mind. Suitable for all levels, with modifications and variations on offer 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 700 HKD, 350 is an NGO discounted rental of the space and 350 goes to our amazing instructors as we believe in fair pay.
If you donate 100 or 150 dollars 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.
Move Partners
Taking part in physical activity can improve mental health in many ways; better sleep, happier moods, managing stress, anxiety, and intrusive thoughts, improved self-esteem, and connection to the community, to name a few.
Move Partners is a collaborative project between The New Normal Charity and organisations, professionals, and athletes. We aim to reinforce the connection and the importance of moving to help support our mental health.
