Beyond offering yoga as an alternative to exercise, TPY International Yoga Academy offers tailor-made training programs which are designed to meet the specific needs of our members. Our Professional Council brings many years of experience in Yoga Teaching and aims to develop its practice all around Vietnam as well as learn more about its impact around the world.

TPY International Yoga Academy and Beyond

Since 2021, Vietnam's government has officially recognized yoga as a competitive sport. Hence, the demand for reputable and qualified yoga competition training places has increased dramatically, yet no yoga academies in Vietnam meet the necessary requirements. Our experience as national referees as well as our expertise in National Yoga Competitions makes TPY International Yoga Academy the perfect practice place for yoga athletes.

Our teachers are committed to providing a professional training program, of international standards, in a modern and adapted environment, which are the core values of our academy, to help our students achieve high results.

Education Should Never Stop!

TPY International Yoga Academy's main goal is to change the way yogis are educated by providing yoga education from a heartfelt place and enriching yoga passion from the inside out.

At TPY International Yoga Academy, yoga is not only an exercise or a trend to follow. It is a lifestyle philosophy!

Whether you are a beginner or have been practicing yoga for years and are ready to take the next step in your discovery journey of yoga, TPY International Yoga Academy is the exact place to begin your new chapter.

Om Namaste!
