About this retreat
Giang Metta Yoga & Sound Healing Academy (formerly Metta Yoga and Singing Bowl Academy) is a Registered Yoga School (RYS 200 & RYS 500) with Yoga Alliance, based in Đà Lạt, Vietnam - a highland city known for its pine forests and cool climate, ideal for immersive training retreats.
Founded by Giang Hoang (E-RYT 500, ISTA Certified Therapeutic Sound Practitioner), the academy offers 200-hour and 500-hour Yoga Teacher Training programs that combine therapeutic yoga, functional anatomy, breathwork (Pranayama), and sound healing with Tibetan singing bowls - a unique integration rarely found in traditional yoga schools.
What makes Giang Metta different:
- Training is rooted in therapeutic yoga, not performance. Students learn to teach safely with anatomy-informed alignment, personalized modifications, and deep respect for each body's limitations.
- Sound healing is woven into the curriculum, not treated as an add-on. Graduates understand how to integrate Tibetan singing bowls, sound baths, and Cymatics principles into their yoga classes.
- Small class sizes ensure personalized mentorship. Every trainee receives hands-on guidance from Giang, who has completed over 1,000 hours of internationally certified training.
- The academy is set in Đà Lạt's pine forest environment, offering students a contemplative space for deep practice away from urban distractions.
