LAM - Teacher Mangala

🌐Tiếng Việt | English

I am Mangala Mai Thảo, a restorative balancing yoga instructor, singing bowl trainer, and Reiki teacher in the traditional lineage.

After some time practicing community yoga classes, I wanted to dive deeper into asanas, breathing techniques… and find something to help me escape depression and stagnation.

Through many fortunate connections, I became a therapeutic yoga instructor in the classical Sivananda yoga lineage. After a period, I discovered singing bowls, integrating their sound into yoga and meditation sessions to help students improve focus and achieve deep relaxation.

For me, yoga is the journey home to one’s true self.

Diving deeper into energy work:

When approaching Reiki, I realized my own questions and issues were not fully resolved. Once again, fortunate circumstances led me to the traditional Reiki lineage of Grand Master Mikao Usui. After a period of practice and over 200 direct hands-on therapy sessions, I achieved important milestones:

March 2024: Achieved Master Reiki (Classical Traditional Lineage).
December 2024: Achieved Master Reiki Holy Fire.

By March 2025, I officially became the 10th-generation lineage holder/teacher of the traditional Reiki lineage, and I continue the journey of guiding and spreading Reiki to others. Achieved Reiki Teacher level.

I came to yoga not from a place of strength, but from a place that needed healing.

I once carried wounds, my mind was once chaotic and scattered. Yoga didn’t come to me as a sport. It arrived very gently, yet solidly and persistently. What truly transformed me was combining the sound of singing bowls and healing energy into my practice.

I realized: Yoga is not just asanas (postures), but the art of returning to the breath, to stillness, to one’s own “home.”

If you are seeking not just a place to exercise, but a place to return to the “inner temple” – I am always here, like a keeper of the flame, walking beside you.
