Thuy Anh is the co-founder of OM Factory Ha Noi. She has been practicing yoga for 8 years. She is a 200-hr International Yoga Teacher Training Course graduate.
With her strong sense of duty and serving her community, her partners and she opened Tam Yen Yoga & Dance in 2013 and Studio Five Yoga & Wellness in 2014, now becoming OM Factory Hanoi. By chance, she met an old strange man with white beard and sparkling eyes named Fara Marz in Ha Noi and has since always felt thankful for every single event that happened after that meeting. They formed a strong friendship very fast and that was how OM Factory Hanoi came to fruition.
