Yin yoga is much more than holding the poses for long periods, it's about revealing our true nature and understanding the energetic pathways of the body (meridians).

This 30-hour training held over two weekends is designed for both yoga teachers and dedicated yoga practitioners to deepen their Yin yoga practice and knowledge. The training explores Yin anatomy, sequencing, safety in postures, meridian theory, and mindfulness.

The long-held postures of Yin yoga provide a welcome contrast to the more modern Western world dynamic Yang dominated practices. Yin creates the space to activate the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and the longer holds work to unwind the body’s deeper layers of fascia and joints.

YIN YOGA

  • Encourages us to slow down and cultivates stillness to get to know ourselves.

  • Explores the philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the internal energetic pathways, known as meridians or nadis, that carry Qi/Prana or life force.

  • Creates the conditions to release deeply held tension in the body and mind.

Aren't yin & restorative yoga the same? The simple answer: no 🧘‍♀️ This is a question we are asked often. Yin and restorative yoga are two very powerful and yet different physical practices ✨ Sometimes they are confused because both practices are slow and methodical, with long-held poses (2 to 10 minutes). Physically they are very different. We explore the difference in our latest blog: www.saigonom.com/blog #saigonom #yogablog #yin #restorative #yogastyles

#FridayFunFact: Hang started to introduce mindfulness and the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh to Sarah in 2014. Together they would practice sitting and walking meditation every Saturday and read some of Thay’s books. Sarah enjoyed the practice but found it a little strange. “Why are we walking so slowly?” she thought. Then a few months later when they visited Melbourne, they attended the Melbourne River Sangha - Birrarung's weekly mindfulness evening. Sarah felt so much peace and support practicing with a large group, and it helped her understand the practices and why it's important to practice with a sangha (a like-minded community practicing mindfulness). After that evening, Sarah said to Hang, “We need to start our own sangha in Vietnam!” Which they did, starting an English speaking sangha in Saigon, and then later starting the Kingston Sangha in Canada. They always love practicing with the Melbourne River Sangha whenever they are in Australia. #saigonom #sangha #community

#FridayFunFact: One of Hang's favourite mindfulness practices is to go for a walk in nature along a 5-km trail near their home in Canada. It's a great way for her to slow down her mind, water her seed of mindfulness and connect to the healing elements of mother nature, like the fresh air, trees, pond, birds and the blue sky. And, it's FREE and super good for the body! 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ Do you walk? Where do you do it? Share your favorite locations to walk in the comments below! #saigonom #mindfulwalking #walk #nature

#MindfulMonday: When you sit, sit in such a way that you feel you have already arrived. To sit doesn’t mean to struggle. When you sit, sit so that sitting becomes an arrival into the present moment. Enjoy your arrival. How wonderful to have arrived. How wonderful to feel that you are home, that your true home is in the here and the now. Sitting like that, joy and peace become a reality. You radiate this joy and peace and it benefits everyone around you. - Thich Nhat Hanh, in “How to Sit”. #saigonom #mindfulness #meditation #meditate #sit

#FridayFunFact: How did Hang & Sarah come up with their wellness school's name, saigon om? 🕉 They spent an entire weekend brainstorming their combined services. They were living in Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳, formerly Saigon, at the time and they both loved yoga and chanting the sacred sound “AUM” or “OM”. And thus the birth of “saigon om”. They currently travel between Australia, Canada and Vietnam to share this wonderful Dharma/path. #saigonom #wellness #school #yoga
