Our Story

OMIYOGA

OM is the primordial sound of the universe. Align our senses and bodies to connect our surroundings through yoga. That is how OMIYOGA was named. 

 

"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now. "

Our story began in 2012. Back then Naomi has been practicing yoga on and off for around 5 years. She decided to dig a step deeper in the yoga aspect and see what can she do with the knowledge she gained. Right after the completion of Naomi’s first yoga teacher course, she started running irregular classes and workshops for charity purposes. She felt so grateful to yoga that grant her a chance to share her knowledge and make regular donations become so simple and easy. 

'Donate them before putting it into my pocket.'

20% of profit is not a lot but it is definitely a gift with joy for people (and animals) in need. At that time, Naomi has stable work and she was so glad to take that extra money to help the others. OMIYOGA keeps this motive to run charity-based community classes. 

'We learn while we teach.'

 

Never stop learning is an active hashtag in Naomi’s life. Since 2018, she has been traveling between Hong Kong, Taiwan and Norway. She shares her unique teaching methods and she also keeps her humble mind to absorb knowledge. She believes her understanding of different yoga styles, anatomy systems, human bodies with different cultures can enrich her teachings.

彌瑜伽

在瑜伽學說中,OM是宇宙的原始音。透過修習瑜伽將感觀調整到更細緻,認識自己和周遭的環境。「OM.自身.瑜伽」將這些連結起來,就是OMIYOGA。「OMI」在日語是「おみ」、漢字能用上「弥」這個宇。「彌」帶著淡淡的禪意,很符合OMIYOGA追求的生活狀態,於是「彌」就成了OMIYOGA的中文名字。

「種一棵樹最好的時間是二十年前,其次是現在。」

我們的故事開始於2012年,那時我們的創辦人Naomi斷斷續續地練習瑜伽已有5年,工作和生活都很穩定。她決定報讀瑜伽導師課程,在瑜伽的學習方面邁出一步。這一個決定鋪設了現在Naomi往後的旅途,令瑜伽完全圍繞她的生命。

「這也許不是一個龐大的數字,但絕對是一份心意。」

第一個瑜伽導師課程完成後,Naomi開始舉辦不定期的瑜伽課程和工作坊,將獲得的兩成收益捐助到不同有需要的團體。那時候的Naomi仍是一名上班族,工作和生活都很穩定,教課得到的只是一份額外的收入。於是她決定在把這些錢放進口袋前就捐出去,幫助更有需要的人。

 

現在的OMIYOGA依然秉承一路走來的理念,持續推行慈善和社區的課堂。

「教學相長.終生學習」

 

學習是Naomi生命裡重要的標誌。 自2018年以來,她一直往返於香港、台灣和挪威之間。 她分享她獨特的教學方法之餘,也保持謙虛的心去吸納新知識。她相信不同的瑜伽風格、解剖系統、和對不同文化背景的體格的理解,可以讓她的教學更豐盛。

Helen Lo

Helen started her yoga journey with “stretching” as an adjunct to her other sports. She has been fascinated by yoga since a yoga fasting camp she went to in 2019 which unfolded her knowledge of the yoga world.
Helen's practices focus on our inner-selves. Through different types of yoga practices, we take good care of ourselves - our body, mind and soul. Connecting with ourselves, understanding ourselves, and accepting ourselves are the ways to love ourselves.

Helen的瑜伽旅程是從「拉筋」開始,作為她其他運動的輔助。直至2019年一次瑜伽斷食營,打開了她對瑜伽世界的認知,就這樣她便喜歡上瑜伽了。Helen 的課堂專注內在,透過瑜伽不同類型嘅鍛練,去照顧好自己——不論是身體、心智和靈魂精神層面。連結自己內在,認識自己,接納自己,從而好好愛自己。

'Practice makes progress' and all we have to do is feel it with our hearts. In her teaching journey, she hopes can share her experience and what she feels in yoga with others.
