We are carrying and holding so much in our bodies. The conscious and the unconscious, the joy and despair, peaceful and anxious, beauty and shadow, ease and struggle. Everything that our bodies hold are part of us. On the other hand, every each of us have a tremendous capacity to heal ourselves (to be wholeness). So how to:

​

  • just being

  • have a fresh insight

  • be happy and at peace

  • find the satiation from within

  • relax and be better at feelings

  • deal with my emotional reality

  • work with all emotions in our body

  • have less pains and aches as we age

  • slow down the speed of our thoughts

  • get out of the mental exhaustion state

  • access to the joy which is already here

  • know the truth of my mindbody's health

  • find clarity and calm in challenging times

  • re-link our human being's nature with Nature

  • become more pliable and resilient in our body-mind

  • be present for what is going on inside our mind-body

  • access to the peaceful silence is already here all the time

  • be more of ourselves and become more our authentic-self

  • turn the sufferings become goodness for our inner growth

  • have a compassion and curiosity in order to promoting healing

  • resolve the trauma so that it does not affect you the same way

  • embrace all the cycles of emotions and expressions of our psyche

  • gain a psychological insight and experiences of unity & wholeness

  • be better at connecting to ourselves in daily interaction with others​

  • not shut down and inhibit ourselves in relationship with others in challenging time

  • find joy in life whether we are well or ill, whether we feel pleasure or feel a great pain

  • stop the inner "civil war" and come to a state of peaceful, calming, grounding and clarity

  • improve harmony of our body structure's organization to relieve daily discomfort and aches

  • access and be nourished by something beyond our daily concerns  and the usual psyche-physical aches and pains

  • reverse neural pathways and the flow of impulses to help ourselves to deal with trauma, stress, anxiety, depression

  • have the courage to break through the unconscious belief and behaviours patterns to find the truth in confusion and chaos

  • be comfortable in our own skins, be confident about who we are - not at all egotistical neither afraid nor aggressive - be properly grounded and rooted in our body

  • be able to remove the "membrane" between our conscious mind and all the stuff we are carrying in our sub-conscious so that we have a waking dream to experience all the hatred, maybe all the terrors, all the fear but also the beauty all the love, all the oneness, all the unity, all the joy, all the presence that is in us

​

What is the process that might support us in the states of stress, confusion, chaos, anxiety, depression, isolation and transform our state of mind into clarity, grounded, calmness, understanding and compassion? How can we  become successful in situations in which we experience problems?

ABOUT UYÊN

​

Hi, I'm Uyên Vu, a passionate somatic-embodiment mindfulness yoga meditation practitioner and teacher with over three decades of experience.  

 

I am committed to people being free and to find freedom from their own unconscious forces that are determined and ingrained in the psyche when we were small before any choice in the matter. My whole life work is related to help people with all ages to reconnect with their wholeness when they lost contact with it. I find ways to help you to arrive in the present moment and have a full connection with yourself.  Whether you're looking to ease the hidden stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply re-connect with yourself, I'm here to work with you.

​​

From a very young age, I was passionate to find out what it is that underlies the behaviours, beliefs, thoughts, speech, emotions, feelings of a person. Before we developed the world, the world created us. The way we have been cared for, as we grew from infancy shaped our brain, our character and more.

 

Before our mind creates the world, the world created our mind. Life experiences & emotional environment have shaped our development and growth since we were in our mother's tummy. Our daily living experiences shaped us with various coping mechanism and it changed the way how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. It dictates a person's behaviours, thoughts, emotions and a main cause of to our hidden stress, anxiety, depression, physical and emotional illness.

What if we can expand our territory, have the courage to explore and to be curious about our experiences, be compassionate to look into our emotional life and change the relationship to ourselves and to our suffering? What is the process to experience something that is well-hidden inside of your body which is authentic, inclusive, impactful, peaceful, steady, eternal, infinite, and filled with so much love? Would it change the way your experiences of having a life?​​​​

​

What I have found in myself and others who I have worked with is that when we experience things that are usually well-hidden below the conscious mind, there is a change in our perception. From that place, the ordinary become extraordinary and extraordinary becomes ordinary. There is a shift between holding tight and letting go, closing down and opening up. We perceive and interact with ourselves and others from a very differently place - a place full of compassion, connection, trust with so much joy, ease and simplicity.

 

We cannot change the past and I cannot take away the terrible things that happened to you but I can help you to stay present, deeply grounded and rooted in yourself, having a courage to explore the world in your mind, your pain, your body with lot of curiosity and compassion and get in touch with the extraordinary capacity of healing that you reside in you. ​

​

I specialise in somatic-embodiment practices that brings kindness awareness-attention, compassion and curiosity to what is going on in you. This helps to release your hidden stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, build in resilience, find yourself and have a deep understanding of our own body, thoughts, unconscious belief, feelings, emotions and behaviours. ​
 

I came from Vietnam to live in the UK in 2015. My journey has taken me through a blend of ancient and modern, Western and Eastern practices, exploring human anatomy, embryo & fetal developmental process, physiological psychology connection, body's experiences & sensations, neuroscience & neurocircuitry, neuro-physical disruption, breath awareness, relaxation, emotions-feelings-thoughts, energetic connection,  childhood trauma, perception & awareness practice, movement & stillness inquiry practices.

​

Come and join me on this wonderful journey of enquiry and exploration to discover, recover and un-cover yourself! I cannot wait to work with you on your journey of transforming your relationship with yourself!

UYÊN'S CREDENTIALS

​

I'm fully insured and I have trained in both Vietnam and in the UK. I have studied with a range of influential teachers around the world and continually expand my knowledge in relevant fields to help people in transforming their relationship with themselves, become more authentic, better understand their inner life and comfortable to be who they are in their own skins. I hold certifications in each of the two disciplines of yoga meditation and mindfulness and I am qualified to teach and work with people of all ages. My specialist training and knowledge includes:

​

  • Teaching yoga meditation to everyone from 7 to 100+ years old who are interested in learning or enhancing their yoga meditation practice. I am a recognised member of and a Senior Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance Professionals.
     

  • I have a real passion and drive to work with children and young people especially and to support them on their journey through school and life. This led me to train with and be recognised by the well-respected Mindfulness in Schools Project and have focused on working with two age groups 7-11 and 11-18. Mindfulness in Schools Project delivers a toolkit that can anchor a child for life, rather than a quick fix they might forget just as fast as they have learned it! I can work with both students and teaching staff to bring mindfulness to young people and, potentially, to develop a culture shift in a school’s approach to their student's mental health and wellbeing.

​

  • To build on my passion for working with young adults as they grow I am a qualified Teen Yoga Mental Health teacher and obtained a Level 3 Sports Coach certificate.

​

  • I am fully insured and I have an enhanced DBS check.  I am safeguarding trained as well as mental health first-aid trained.​​

​

  • In Vietnam, I practiced Ananda Marga Yoga – connecting heart-mind-body – with Mrs. Khanh Kakyani & Mrs. Cuu Karuna and I still receive support from these two amazing teachers. I have practiced mindfulness meditation - Mindful living - through the teachings of Thay Thich Nhat Hanh since I was very young and carried on my deep-dive into the human mind with teaching from wonderful teachers like Jiddu Krishnamurti and Emile Condrad. 

 

  • I also add to my learning through the teachings of people like Susan Harper for Perception& Perceiving practices; Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen - cellular consciousness & embryo development process (Body-Mind Centering); Amy Matthews - embodied anatomy & embryology; Michael Meade (Living Myth); Gil Hedley (dissector); Susan Bauer (embodied teen), David Zemach-Bersin (Feldenkrais Method); Michael Molin Skelton (Soul Motion dance); Gabrielle Roth (5 Rhythms emotional dance); Hoa thuong Thich Giac Khang (a Vietnamese monk); Reggie Ray (meditation teacher), Dr. Gabor Maté (addiction, trauma & childhood emotional development), Peter Levine (trauma and body awareness),  Bones for Life, and from my many clients to open up a natural way of addressing health, vitality and possibility. 

​

I am happy to hear from you about teaching somatic-embodiment mindfulness yoga meditation in schools, workplaces & others to support and improve physical-mental-emotional-social health for children and adults (7 to 100+ years old) who may face physical challenges or feel stuck in thoughts, feelings, emotions, the past, find it difficult to relax or stay focussed, struggle with chronic tension-stress, school attendance & behaviours, anxiety, depression, self-suppression, trauma or those who seek for an ancient practice to a have a deep understanding of their own cognition, emotion, physicality and spirituality.

​

If you are new to me, please do have a quick look at some of the reviews from schools, parents and others on Google, Facebook and Yoga Alliance Professional (UK).
