“I attended Nam’s 300 Hour YTT through Yoga One San Diego. Nam is a truly well-versed yoga educator with tons of real-world experience, meaningful understanding of anatomy, a welcoming and inclusive attitude, and a great sense of humor. I not only thoroughly enjoyed learning from Nam, but also felt empowered to bring my personal background and experiences into my teaching, and to think outside of the box of traditional yoga asana. ”

“When I was ready to do a deep dive into a 300-hour YTT, I did quite a bit of research. 3 things were most important to me: A strong basis in the knowledge and practice of functional, sustainable physical practices. Workshops that meet us where we are in our personal practice and teaching experiences so that we are better able to meet our own students’ needs. An atmosphere of collective learning, not a top-down, “copy and paste my style top-down directive from the teacher. Nam creates a culture in his YTTs and trainings that allow his fellow teachers and peers to learn from him and each other efficiently and simply, even when the topic is complex (as typically are yoga and movement practices).”

“Nam is an exceptional teacher who has changed my life immensely. I can’t help but feel very lucky to have learned from such a great man and teacher who has really taking the time to make sure that i can comprehend everything that i need to know to push my yoga practice and teaching skills to the next level. I will forever be grateful to him and i will always hold with me the many tools and wisdom he has passed down. There truly is no better mentor, teacher or friend. ”

“Nam is an exceptionally skillful, attentive, and engaged student of yoga. He’s a clear, logical, critical thinker and has the rare ability to communicate with ease and accuracy. He’s also a gifted teaching assistant and has a natural eye for how the body moves. I’m proud to be his teacher and always happy when he’s in the yoga room with me as a student or assistant.”
— Jason Crandell, International Yoga Teacher
“I’ve been practicing yoga for about 10 years so I’ve studied under many different teachers and Nam is one of the best. He’s well-versed in the body and alignment and he shares that knowledge with you which helps you grow in your own practice. For specific poses, he offers tips and suggestions that give you “ahh ha” moments that empower you.
His style of hands-on adjustments is unique... you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Everyone should have a little bit of Nam in their life!”
— Eunice T. - Yoga Student, San Diego Ca
“Nam goes above and beyond to meet your needs on a metaphysical level with the true confidence of a empathetic teacher.”
