Da Nang Wellness

Da Nang Wellness is a bilingual, family-run yoga studio, surf school and sound-session provider at 93 Lê Hữu Khánh, Ngũ Hành Sơn, Da Nang, just behind the beach. It brings three different activities under one name: group yoga guided by Joanna, surf lessons led by Gia, and handpan-based sound sessions. Visitors should book the exact activity rather than assuming that one general timetable or price applies to all three.

The official site explicitly welcomes Vietnamese and international guests and lists English- and Vietnamese-speaking instructors. It also states that schedules change from week to week, with occasional yoga sessions held on the beach when weather allows. For that reason this profile does not convert old timetable snapshots or Google opening hours into fixed structured hours.

Yoga styles and class level

The published yoga programme includes Ashtanga Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative Yoga and Slow Flow. The studio describes classes as suitable for beginner and intermediate practitioners, while also saying that teaching aims to be accessible to different bodies and experience levels. A beginner should still ask which current session is slowest, whether poses are demonstrated and how much strength, balance or familiarity with sequences is expected.

Ashtanga-influenced Vinyasa can be more continuous and physically demanding than restorative work. Hatha and Slow Flow labels also vary by teacher and day. Request the current class description, location, language and duration rather than choosing only from the style name. Tell the teacher about pain, pregnancy, recent surgery, dizziness or movement restrictions before class begins.

Joanna's training and teaching approach

The provider identifies Joanna as the yoga teacher. Her official biography says she began practising more than ten years ago, completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training in Nepal in 2017, and added 300-hour training in India in 2025. She describes a welcoming approach intended to help students explore movement and breath at their own level.

These are yoga-teacher qualifications, not medical or physiotherapy credentials. A teacher can offer modifications within a general class, but should not be expected to diagnose an injury or prescribe rehabilitation. If you need postoperative exercise, treatment for persistent pain or support for a complex health condition, ask an appropriately qualified clinician whether a group yoga class is suitable.

Mats, clothing and beach sessions

Yoga mats are provided, and participants may bring their own. Ask whether blocks, straps, bolsters or blankets are available for the chosen style; the site confirms mats but does not publish a complete prop inventory. Wear clothing that allows comfortable movement and bring water. For beach sessions, sun, heat, wind and an uneven surface can change the level of exertion and balance demands.

The provider says outdoor sessions depend on favourable weather. Confirm the meeting point and weather decision on the day, particularly during rain or high heat. Beach yoga is not automatically easier than indoor practice, and anyone sensitive to heat or prone to fainting should take appropriate precautions.

Surf lessons depend on sea conditions

Surf lessons are tailored to experience and the condition of the surf. The official site says equipment needed to start is available, while students may bring their own kit. Gia is presented as an experienced surf instructor who teaches beginners and people refining their skills. Lesson timing is arranged around both the participant and suitable swell rather than a fixed weekly clock.

Ask where the lesson meets, what equipment is supplied, the instructor-to-student ratio, swimming prerequisites, water conditions and cancellation policy. Disclose relevant medical conditions and be honest about swimming ability. A lesson should not proceed in unsafe sea conditions merely because it was booked. Surf instruction is an outdoor sport service, not aquatic therapy.

Handpan sound sessions

The Sound Sanctuary uses handpan and other musical experience guided by Gia. Sessions may be public or arranged privately, and times vary. The provider describes them using “sound healing” language, but this should be understood as a relaxation and music-based wellness experience rather than healthcare or treatment of a mental or physical disorder.

Ask whether participants sit or lie down, session length, group size, volume and what to bring. People with sound sensitivity, tinnitus, migraines, trauma-related triggers or difficulty lying in one position should discuss practical adjustments. Do not replace psychological, neurological or medical care with a sound session.

Current prices and membership options

The current official page displays yoga at VND 250,000 per session, with five visits at VND 1.1 million and ten visits at VND 2 million. Surf lessons are shown at VND 1 million per session with contact requested for multiple-purchase discounts. Sound sessions are displayed at VND 300,000. Prices can change and may differ for private or special events.

Confirm the current amount, what is included, validity period, refund or weather policy and accepted payment method before paying. The site does not publish card, cash or transfer methods, so no payment method is asserted here. Travellers should avoid a multi-visit package unless its expiry and their remaining dates are clear.

Booking, languages and live scheduling

Bookings are directed through Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. The published telephone and WhatsApp number is +84 70 733 4564. Send the activity, date range, experience level, preferred language and number of participants, then wait for the confirmed time and location. A social-media message alone is not a reservation.

English and Vietnamese are explicitly supported at business level. Confirm the language of the chosen class or lesson, especially if another instructor is substituting. There are no reliable fixed opening hours because yoga, surf and sound schedules follow separate calendars and surf may change with weather.

Safety, consent and medical boundaries

Da Nang Wellness publishes a waiver stating that participants should be in adequate health, understand that activity may aggravate an injury or condition, seek medical advice when appropriate, recognise their limitations and stop or modify before injury. A waiver does not remove the need for reasonable instruction, but it reinforces that participation is active and carries risk.

Stop for sharp pain, new weakness or numbness, faintness, chest discomfort or unusual breathing difficulty. Seek urgent care for serious symptoms or a significant surf injury. Yoga, sound and surf may support recreation and relaxation, but none is a substitute for diagnosis, physiotherapy, emergency treatment or mental-health care.

Comparing yoga options in Da Nang

Da Nang Wellness may suit visitors who value bilingual instruction, a variable community timetable and the option to combine yoga with surf or sound. It may be less convenient for someone who needs a guaranteed class at the same hour every day.
