What an amazing journey this yoga & mindfulness teacher training has been, and continues to be. I'm learning that yes, yoga can be a great workout. It can loosens up tight spots, and you learn cool poses like this one, #Salabhasana (or Locust) but what it has really taught me is that yoga and stepping on the mat everyday is a tool to remind myself to breathe, and enjoy my breath 🙏☀️ #victakesvietnam #saigonomYTT #mindfulness #yogateachertraining 📷: Pascal, Full Moon Village Resort

So lucky that I get to practice mindfulness in such a beautiful space 🌴 As someone who grew up in a city, walking usually meant getting from point A to B, as quickly as you can. I prided myself on being a speedy walker. But over the last two weeks we've been practicing mindfulness in our daily activities - walking, brushing your teeth, hand washing your clothes. And this reminds me to ENJOY the activity, remember my breath, and be present while I do them. There's so much to see and take in when I'm not rushing around doing a million things at once! I also might be liking hand washing clothes a wee bit more. #victakesvietnam #saigonomYTT #mindfulness #saigonom #vietnam #yogateachertraining (at Full Moon Village Resort)

This weekend marks two months on the road, and sometimes I struggle with missing the comforts of home. But as I read Thich Nhat Hanh's "Peace is Every Breath", I am reminded of how lucky I am that I have the ability to wander the world - and have ocean views while I read 🌏🙏 Thanks for assigning such a powerful book @saigon_om #victakesoz #saigonomYTT #saigonom #yogateachertraining #thichnhathanh #mindfulness (at Belongil Beach)
