Tam Nguyen

I joined Saddleback College in 2023 and teach for the Yoga Teacher Certification Training program in the Kinesiology Department. I also teach yoga for Adapted Kinesiology and the Emeritus Institute. I have been co-owner of the Yoga Bungalow yoga studio since 2004. I have studied with Erich Schiffmann, the White Lotus Foundation, Arun Deva, Nischala Joy Devi, Jill Miller (Yoga Tune Up® certification ), Rolf Sovik (Himalayan Institute) and Jack Kornfield (Spirit Rock). I continue my studies and collaborate with yoga therapist, Amy Wheeler, Ph.D. 

I mix a unique blend of alignment, therapeutic movements and mindfulness. My classes are eclectic, meaning never boring. My hope with each class is that you'll feel better in your body, rest your mind, experience the healing magic of yoga and reconnect with your true nature.

I am a certified Yoga Tune Up® instructor and am registered with the Yoga Alliance at the E-RYT 500 hour level. I am also a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) with the International Association of Yoga Therapists. In my free time, I hike, garden and read.
