I was meant to post this photo long time ago but the whole relocation thing, job, life, etc. kinda pull me away from getting back to Instagram. I'm still active and my practice gets better everyday. I learned a lot in the past year and will update new story of life here. So happy to start a new year of excitement and better me. 👉Check out the new website's homepage I just designed: dungnguyenyoga.com ------------------------------------ #dungnguyenyoga #yogawithdungnguyen #cotoisland #beachyoga #hollowback #2019 #travelyoga #vietnamtravel #newyearyoga #beach #yogapose #like4likes #vietnam #balance #findingflexibility #findingstrength #yogaeverywhere #yoga4change #yogaeveryday #yogalifestyle #instayogi #vietyoga #vietnambeach #2020 #newinstagram #yogadreams #passion (at Cô Tô District) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Li0urFg5v/?igshid=1n3vez840ieea

The 10th picture for the #releasetheinnerlion , can't believe it's the last day of my first insta photo competition. It was a great experience. I got to learn more about people and myself. The lion choice goes back to the tuck pose I love and find myself in there for most of the time. It's not anything special compared to many other versions I posted. But it's the very first shape I ever hold and now this is just as familiar to me as like standing on my both feet. I do this everywhere and everytime, maybe first thing in the morning or first come to a new site.

I can't choose a photo for Day 9 so I posted 2. I love to go around and take yoga pictures when I have no idea what to do. And these 2, are my go-to poses that I find myself in, recently. I actually feel grateful for yoga to make me flexible enough to do these wonderful poses wherever I go.

When I first saw this Yoga Dandasana pose on @kinoyoga Youtube channel (yes I used to watch her comprehensive asana's library like all day to learn yoga when I was new to this haha), I was immediately fell in love with the pose, thinking that I should definitely integrate the pose into my practice. The pose just looks so nice, and interesting yet somehow so relaxing. When I practice this pose, I just feel calm in my mind and stay comfortable with myself. So if your hip is ready and happy, please give it a try! Day 8 of #releasetheinnerlion List: 1. Playful armbalance ✅ 2. Fierce heart opener ✅ 3. Loyal pose your tried and true ✅ 4.

Hollowback with thighs in vertical, or pike legs in vertical or past the vertical line is quite difficult to hold. However, with practice, this come naturally and you can hold this super heavy shape of hollowback comfortably. This is not what I'm currently working on, yet is something I achieved recently and became my comfor zone now, hence is my choice for Day 7 of #releasetheinnerlion ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Leo 🦁 Hosts: @artsy_blue @blessedyoga @emmitheyogi @skclay86 @yogi_liza @sarasotawarrior Sponsors ☀️: @aloyoga @alo.moves Leo’s list: 1.

This pose is the pose that seems to make sense even when upside down 😂 but if you turn this pose to normal, it will become the first shape you should practice if you want to learn hollowback. I still remember I was falling so many times when I first learned it (at the middle of the night when I didn't want to sleep 😂). Now this pose became a fun thing when I got into the pose and tried to tap toes onto the floor. P/s: I still fall from time to time in this pose, even though I can feel comfortable in many other hollowback shapes. Sometimes getting back to basic and playing with it helps you learn and grow better than anything. This is my choice for Day 6 of #releasetheinnerlion. It probably makes people who look at it feel silly rather than me feeling silly tbh 😂😂 Lovely Leo 🦁 Hosts: @artsy_blue @blessedyoga @emmitheyogi @skclay86 @yogi_liza @sarasotawarrior Amazing Sponsors ☀️: @aloyoga @alo.moves ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Leo’s list: 1.

Day 5 of #releasetheinnerlion is a pose that releases your fire and my choice is this c-back shape of pike straight leg hollowback. Well in my opinion, any type of pike leg shapes can easily be the most difficult shape in inversion in general. I used to do pike leg hollowback with tuck chin, but I think this version of me doing at 6am in the morning in sleepiness is more than enough to make me release my fire 😂 Bonus is a behind-the-scene picture lol. That was when I was like hey I like this place so much maybe we take picture right here at the entrance where people come in and out 🙈🙈 and my sis caught it on her cam!

A bit late, but I chose handstand for Day 4 of #releasetheinnerlion: a fierce balance pose. The journey to handstand is the longest and most exciting thing I have ever done in terms of asanas ❤🤗. I used to find many ways to access handstand, know many handstand drills till this moment. I was thinking so hard how to learn this skill, wondering what what I need more: core or shoulders or other skills🤔? How much core or shoulder strength is enough? For months I have learned from many resources and materials, doing many core works and stuff and I still have a feeling that it was none of those that are the key points to handstand. Until I found @meliniseri 's discussion about law of specificity on her Destination Handstand 🤸‍♂️ online class, I immediately realized that this is logically true and is what I need. Since then, I changed my practice. I started holding 3 different handstand shapes in supine positions, using the wall to support me holding handstand. The best and fastest way to learn anything, including handstand, is doing it. No other fancy drills can help you learn better. I got my first handstand hold right after watching her class on @alo.moves, also got my straddle press. The first pic is my handstand a month after I updated with the new methods. The second pic was taken now, more than a month of frequent self-practice after the first pic 😂 On the journey of handstand, I learned so many things everyday. Now that I can consistently hold handstand for a long period of time, I can't count how much I have learned everyday and how much I have improved. Also thanks my friend and teacher @yograja20 for helping my handstand from time to time. #handstandnation #dungnguyenyoga #alomoves #aloyoga #fitness #streetworkout #handstand #yoga #yogagay #yogasana #balance #strength #pose #iyengar #ashtanga #alochallenge #yogagoals #fitnessgoal #selfpractice #handstandjunkie #handstandeveryday #handstandeverywhere #handstand365 #handstandlove #handstandjourney #handstandaddict #handstandhold #handstandpress https://www.instagram.com/p/B1GIjI6pEQs/?igshid=1oe9iki2j7sn6

I was fighting with myself, think whether I should choose handstand 🤸‍♂️ or peacock 🦚 as my loyal tried and true pose. I was more on the side of handstand, since I have been practicing it really hard and for a long period of time ⏰. The handstand journey has been the most exciting thing ever in my journey of self-practice . Yet peacock pose was the first pose I ever started with, in fact. I remember I first saw the peacock pose when I was a kid reading a yoga book 📚 that wrote about a dozen of traditional poses. I thought I would never be able to do this pose to the rest of my life. Almost a decade later when I started practicing yoga seriously (yeah I usually read but don't practice), I practiced this pose due to its unique effect and mysterious history and surprisingly learned it within a few weeks. Now the practice even evolves into one-armed peacock. What a long way I have been! I'm surprised and humble at how far I have been in my practice!

Being flexible physically requires being flexible in mind first.

I fell in love with this variation of headstand right when I saw it on @asanavanessa profile. It's a tuck side bend headstand that look simple yet fun to try it out. ________________________________________________ #dungnguyenyoga #headstand #sirsasana #yoga #yogagram #instayoga #yogaeveryday #yogachallenge #yogaeverydamnday #yogapractice #yogaeverywhere #inversion #sidebend #photography #yogaphotography #vinyasaflow #vinyasa #yogaart #yogaboy #yogagirl #asana #asanavanessa #yogalife #yogainspiration #saigon #hanoi #vietnam #gayyoga #meditation (at Hanoi, Vietnam) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GrbRXJ2kp/?igshid=xldnjf7utsle
