Project Status: On going
Last Updated: 7 Aug 2026
About this Project:
Established in 1982, the Vocational Training Council (VTC) is the largest vocational and professional education and training provider in Hong Kong. VTC provides valuable credentials for over 200,000 students each year through a full range of pre-employment and in-service programmes with internationally recognized qualifications.
Andiappan Yoga Community (AYC) is pleased to continue its ongoing partnership with VTC to provide free yoga classes to VTC students. With the increasing demands of student life, regular yoga practice helps enhance overall well-being and empowers students to effectively manage academic stress and daily challenges.
Dr. Yogananth Andiappan, along with AYC Volunteer Teachers Ms. Louise, Ms. Tanny, Ms. Shilpa, and Master Mahesh, conducted an introductory lecture and demonstration for VTC students on 3rd October 2017, highlighting the therapeutic benefits of yoga and officially launching this meaningful partnership that continues today.
In these classes, students will learn energizing yoga sequences combined with invigorating breathwork (Pranayama) and relaxation techniques to quiet the mind and restore balance.
Through yoga, we aim to instill a positive self-image in young adults and build a strong foundation for long-term physical and mental well-being. The classes in this project are designed to be practical, engaging, and supportive, giving students valuable stress-management tools they can carry into their academic journey and future careers.
