What's in the biggest health festival for sports lovers in Nghe An in 2024?
On August 31 - September 1, 2024, at Eco Central Park (Vinh city), the Yoga & Pilates festival of Nghe An - Vietnam Fit Fest Vinh 2024 will take place with a series of training, education and practical experiences for the fitness, yoga, pilates and health community across the country. The program is completely free, for all sports lovers.
Five fountains of youth
The Five Tibetan Rites are an ancient series of yoga exercises originating from Tibet that help rejuvenate the body, increase energy, and maintain overall health. The exercises were widely introduced in the book “The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth” by Peter Kelder, first published in the 1930s.
At “Vietnam Fit Fest Vinh 2024”, the exercises are designed to help participants achieve their best mental and physical state.
PIYO with curved board
Piyo is a unique exercise method that combines Pilates and Yoga, providing a balance between strength, endurance, and flexibility. While Pilates focuses on strengthening the abdominal muscles, back muscles, and improving body posture; Yoga helps increase flexibility, improve the respiratory system, and bring peace of mind through postures and breathing techniques.
Combining Piyo with a balance board or curved board will improve balance, strengthen major muscle groups, and enrich the training experience. This method is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners.
Bell meditation
Bell meditation (meditation with bells) is a form of meditation in which the sound of a bell is used as a tool to guide the mind into a state of stillness, concentration and enlightenment. The bell in meditation can be a small bell (hand bell) or a large bell (great bell). The sound from the bell is considered a means to help the meditator return to himself, let go of distracting thoughts and find inner peace.
Bell meditation originated in Buddhism, popular in Zen Buddhist traditions in East Asia such as Japan, China and Vietnam. In Buddhism, the sound of a bell is considered a symbol of awakening and enlightenment. When hearing the bell, one is reminded to return to the present moment, to quiet the mind and practice mindfulness.
From beginners to experienced meditators, everyone can join this meditation session, put aside the hustle and bustle of daily life and find themselves in a quiet and energetic space.
Acro Yoga
Acro Yoga is a modern form of yoga that combines traditional yoga, gymnastics and acrobatics, requiring close coordination between two or more practitioners, creating beautiful and creative postures. Acro Yoga is both a form of physical exercise and a spiritual experience, building trust between participants.
In this workshop, instructors will teach you the fundamental techniques to build the confidence and strength needed for Acro Yoga. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, you will learn how to work with a partner to perform the movements safely and effectively.
Acro Yoga is suitable for both beginners and those with experience in yoga or fitness. However, due to its complex nature and the combination required, practitioners should be guided by an experienced instructor and practice the basic steps before moving on to advanced movements.
Relax and unwind with the chair
This method uses a chair as a support tool to create postures and movements that stretch, relax, and strengthen the spine. The chair helps practitioners achieve postures that may be difficult or impossible without support, especially for beginners or those with spinal problems.
At this festival, the exercises are guided by professional Yoga instructors. This session is suitable for both beginners and people with spinal problems.
Unity Meditation
Unity meditation is a form of yoga meditation that aims to unite the elements of body, mind, and spirit. The goal of this method is to help the practitioner experience inner harmony and a sense of oneness with the entire universe.
In a quiet and solemn space, the trainers will guide you through basic to advanced meditation exercises, suitable for all levels. Meditation sessions not only help reduce stress and anxiety but also promote mindfulness, helping you achieve a state of balance and harmony in life.
Sun Salutation
Surya Namaskar is a series of 12 yoga postures performed in sequence, often in conjunction with breathing. It is one of the most popular yoga exercises, helping to energize the body and mind.
As daylight gives way to dusk, practice sun salutations, immerse yourself in deep peace and relaxation, and close the day with renewed energy and calm.
The workout promises to help the practitioner balance both the body and mind, increase health and endurance. This series of movements not only helps your body become more flexible, improve muscle strength but is also the perfect way to reduce stress and find inner peace. This is also an opportunity for you to enjoy a special workout, where the peaceful green landscape of the sunset at Eco Central Park is the backdrop for your new beginning.

Pilates and therapy
Pilates is a form of physical exercise developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century, focusing on improving muscular strength, flexibility and balance through the performance of controlled exercises. Pilates focuses primarily on the "core" of the body - the muscles around the abdomen, lower back, hips, and buttocks. Exercises are performed on a mat or with special equipment to provide support and intensity appropriate for each person.
Pilates therapy combines traditional Pilates techniques with physical therapy methods to treat injuries or aid in rehabilitation. It is performed by a physical therapist, occupational therapist, or trainer to ensure safety and effectiveness; useful for people recovering from injuries, seniors, or anyone looking to improve overall health without putting undue stress on the body.
