Once upon a time, a brave and adventurous Australian massage therapist ventured to Vietnam to explore its culture and meet its people. At the same time a Chinese-Canadian school teacher/yoga bum also uprooted her home in Canada to reconnect with her roots in Asia. Their love for well-being, healing and yoga led them to Saigon, Vietnam where they met each other and thus, the birth of saigon om in 2

013. Inspired by the transformations from their personal mindfulness practice, Hang and Sarah create heartful offerings to lead others on the path of well-being. Join them for their flagship online program Mindfulness for Wellness course, as well as retreats and yoga teacher training in Vietnam.

Canada, here we come! 🇨🇦

In just a few more sleeps, we’ll be joyfully touching down at Toronto Pearson Airport and making our way back to Kingston.

Although this trip was unexpected, it has given us so many beautiful reasons to celebrate our short return. One very special reason is that Sarah will officially become a Canadian citizen! O Canada, our home and native land!

In mid-September, we’ll also be celebrating 11 years of Kingston Sangha, in the Plum Village tradition. Once upon a time, we sat in meditation and practiced mindful walking together in our little living room. Many moons later, the Kingston Sangha continues, as do the friendships, connections and shared practice that have grown from those early days. How wonderful it is to continue walking this path of life together.

And, of course, we’re looking forward to practicing with many of you again. While we’re in Kingston, Hang will be offering Qi Gong Teacher Trainings Levels 1 & 2, along with a series of workshops and courses.

One final note: we’ll also be hosting an info session for our upcoming February 2027 Vietnam retreat. If Vietnam has been calling you, come learn more about this special week of practice, rest and connection.

SYDENHAM, ONTARIO | 4-WEEK QI GONG SERIES | STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNITY

As the seasons begin to change, it’s a beautiful time to strengthen the body from within. Join Hang for a 4-week Qi Gong series exploring Wei Qi (衛氣), known in Traditional Chinese Medicine as our protective Qi, the energy that helps support our natural defences, resilience and overall vitality.

Each week, we’ll combine:

* Gentle Qi Gong movements
* Energy activation & release
* Simple acupressure points you can use at home
* Breath, mindfulness & deep relaxation
* Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom for seasonal wellbeing

We’ll gradually build a simple practice you can return to whenever you’re feeling depleted, stressed or simply want to give your body a little extra support.

By the end of the course, you'll have your own immunity boost sequence to practice at anytime! No previous Qi Gong experience is needed.

A little surprise for Kingston!

When saigon om makes a brief return to Canada this September, Hang will be back teaching a 4-week Qi Gong series in this gorgeous 200+ year-old barn in Sydenham.

Stepping into this barn feels like stepping back in time. The weathered wood, soaring beams, open air and warm natural light give it a magic all its own. Over the years, these old walls have held so many practices, laughs, stories of foot longs, quiet moments and beautiful connections.

Some spaces are more than just a place to practice. They become part of the practice. This is one of those places, and even the beautiful, short Autumn countryside drive from Kingston feels like part of the journey.

Come, breathe and share in the magic with mindful movement practices designed to strengthen your protective Qi (Wei Qi), support immunity and resilience, regulate stress and build vitality from within.

Book your spot today! We can’t wait to practice with you here again. www.commongroundsummerstudio.com/qi-gong-series.html

Fascia Release Workshop - back by popular demand! Discover why this workshop continues to sell out.

Join Hang for an engaging 2-hour experience that bridges the latest understanding of fascia with the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With her unique ability to connect modern Western anatomy and movement science with Eastern healing principles, Hang makes complex concepts practical, relatable, and immediately useful.

Learn why tension keeps returning, how fascia influences posture, mobility, pain, stress, and even headaches, and discover simple self-care techniques to restore ease throughout your body. You'll also explore how fascia release complements acupressure, meridians, and emotional wellbeing through the lens of TCM, giving you a deeper understanding of your body's interconnected systems.

Leave with practical techniques you can use every day to move with greater freedom, release chronic tension, improve flexibility, and cultivate a healthier, more resilient body from the inside out. A fascia release ball is also included in the workshop so you can start your self-care journey right away.
