Constantly innovating, increasingly specialized and having its own influence, yoga has become the choice of many Lang Son people who want to find physical health and peace of mind.

People in the province practice yoga at clubs and gyms.

Introduced to Lang Son about 15 years ago, yoga had a period of vibrant development, then gradually stabilized in a more sustainable and professional direction. Currently, the whole province has over 20 yoga centers and clubs with more than 500 people practicing regularly, present in many places from Lang Son city to districts such as Loc Binh, Huu Lung, Cao Loc...

It is not difficult to see people practicing yoga in the early morning when the sun has just risen, or in the late afternoon after work, in a quiet and relaxing space at gyms, parks, etc. in the province. Yoga has recently become not only a sport, but has gradually become a meeting place to connect the community.

In that development trend, the presence of international coaches, especially those from India - the cradle of yoga - has brought a new breeze to the yoga movement in Lang Son. Mr. Deepak Mishra (Indian nationality), yoga coach at YogDeep Club, Loc Binh town, Loc Binh district shared: I came to Lang Son to be a coach since 2022. After a period of living and working here, I really love this land because of the fresh air, friendly people and especially the perseverance and love for yoga. Therefore, I decided to get married and stay here with the desire to inspire, guide precise techniques and spread a healthy, harmonious lifestyle in accordance with the "spirit" of Indian yoga.
