Hanoi, Vietnam – September 26, 2025 – The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has released a thorough professional training program designed to standardize and elevate the quality of yoga instruction across Vietnam. The initiative aims to enhance the professional capabilities of yoga educators, strengthen national sports management, and ensure instructors possess the necessary knowledge and skills to meet industry demands.
The program is structured around three core components: theoretical knowledge, practical application, and evaluation of training outcomes.
The theoretical curriculum encompasses seven key areas: national laws and regulations pertaining to yoga and sports; the history and development of yoga; factors influencing yoga technique; yoga training organization and lesson planning; guidelines for yoga competitions; anatomy, hygiene, and basic medical/nutritional knowledge for yoga practitioners; and safety protocols, first aid, and injury prevention in yoga training.

Successful completion requires participants to attend a minimum of 80% of scheduled classes and pass a final examination.
