Leisurely Midsummer: Awaken Your Body with Yoga

TFRD collaborated with ASify yoga sportswear to offer an eight-class “Leisurely Midsummer: Awaken Your Mind & Body with Yoga” course on Sunday mornings at Taipei Bioinnovation Park from August 11 to October 6. A total of 24 patients and family members enthusiastically participated.

Over the course of eight weeks, the teacher led everyone in stretching their bodies with great care, slowly experiencing the feeling of stretching their limbs and effectively relaxing their muscles. The sessions progressed from general stretching to targeted exercises, including leg and core strengthening, partner yoga, chest expansion, side bends, and twists. Throughout the program, the instructor provided personalized adjustments tailored to each student's physical condition, enabling them to steadily grasp the essence of yoga. Each class concluded with a meditation session, allowing participants to release the accumulated stress of the week through controlled breathing and mindfulness, ultimately achieving deep relaxation.

We sincerely appreciate ASify for generously providing each student with a high-quality yoga mat and yoga block. Through this yoga healing program, we hope participants will not only recharge their energy and improve flexibility but also experience the numerous benefits of physical exercise. Ultimately, we aim to foster long-term, healthy fitness habits among all participants.
