Yoga Courses have been running regularly at our various premises in Vietnam:
- Vietnam Traditional Medicine Institute
- Baba Quarter
- Điện Biên Phủ Jagrti, and
- Yoga Hoa Sen
They cover from basic asanas to advanced ones. After a two-month regular practice, at the students’ wish, they will be guided with the basic meditation process. A Yogic lifestyle is also introduced at various retreats at our Master Unit Ananda Uma where students can explore cooking sentient meals, organic gardening, fasting, as well as deepening their knowledge of yoga philosophy, asanas and cakras relationship etc. See an illustration at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1hFbti9xFg
Beside in-person courses, there are daily Zoom asana classes & kaoshikii practice online to accommodate the time of busy people. Zalo Groups are also set up for knowledge exchange. Students highly appreciate our efforts to offer yoga as a therapy for body & mind (see testimony: https://www.facebook.com/groups/206538029754515/ ). A scientific research topic of “Yoga and Insomnia” hosted by the Vietnam Traditional Medicine Institute is underway with the cooperation of our yoga teachers. Stay tuned!
