HKUST Free Skills Sharing Workshop Series - Meditation and Stretching Workshop
Influenced and guided by her parents, who were students of the late Chinese scholar and Buddhist Master NAN Huai-Chin, Olivia started her Zen meditation journey when she was three years old. She has also learned Qigong, Tai-chi and other mindfulness techniques from different schools. In 2017, she completed her 200-Hours Teacher Training at YogaWorks with David Kim and started teaching right after. She is the author of the audiobook “Stress relieving classes for the urbanites”. Olivia is passionate about spiritual development and loves sharing her knowledge of Chinese philosophy, meditation, qigong and yoga with friends from all walks of life.

Staff and students of HKUST are welcome to join this workshop to kickstart the week in a positive and refreshing way. This one-hour event will begin with some simple stretching exercises, allowing us to bring awareness to the body with the intention to feel more grounded, counterbalancing the wandering mind that is often lost in rumination. After some bodily movements, the class will transition into a breathing exercise, in hopes to reduce the stress and tension that are brought to us in our study or work. The last fifteen minutes of the workshop will be dedicated to silent meditation, an ancient but powerful technique that helps us to create space in accepting the present moment.
*Participants need to bring their own yoga mat to join the workshop.
