“I’m so pleased to have had the opportunity to study with Hang and discover the lineage of the Qi Gong. Hang’s curiosity and passion for Qi Gong, Chinese Medicine and energy meridians was shared in the course and gave me so much insight into the wholistic approach of this practice. Even more, her research into current science related to fascia and meridians was fascinating.
Hang was so joyful, patient and encouraging in bringing out our teaching skills and giving us room to refine and develop our sequences in an organic and empowering way. I’m deeply grateful to have been able to have listened and learned from Hang’s abundant wisdom around Qi Gong. I feel very privileged to continue her lineage of Qi Gong to others on my own teaching journey.”
About the Lead Teacher, Hang Nhan
Qi Gong Educator • Teacher Trainer • Co-Founder of saigon om
Hang’s path to Qi Gong began through more than 20 years of martial arts, movement and teaching. Her early years were spent training and competing in external martial arts, including Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Kung Fu and Kali. After years of pushing her body — and accumulating injuries along the way — she began looking for a more sustainable way to cultivate strength, health and longevity.
That search led her to Qi Gong and Yang Tai Chi, first in Canada and later in southern China, where she spent two years from 2006–2008 deepening her study of the internal arts at the root school of Choy Li Fut.
Today, Hang’s work brings together traditional Qi Gong, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), mindfulness and movement science. She is particularly interested in helping students understand the why behind the practice — how Qi moves through the body, how TCM views the relationship between the organs, emotions and energy, and how Qi Gong can help harmonize these patterns and bring the body-mind back towards balance.
Her ongoing studies include Five-Element Acupressure, alongside years of exploration in anatomy, biomechanics, fascia, injury prevention and mindful movement.
A former engineer, school teacher, personal trainer and martial arts instructor, Hang brings an educator’s curiosity to everything she teaches. Her approach is practical, inclusive and down-to-earth: learn the movements, understand the principles, feel them in your own body, and discover how the practice can become part of everyday life.
Through saigon om, Hang now focuses primarily on Qi Gong education and Teacher Training Levels 1–4, supporting practitioners and wellness professionals who want to move beyond simply following Qi Gong movements towards a deeper understanding of the practice.
And when she’s not chasing after her two young rambunctious children, Hang can usually be found stealing little pockets of quiet to work on her first Qi Gong book — a project that, much like Qi Gong itself, is teaching her something about patience, persistence and going with the flow.
