Simon Borg Olivier Yoga Synergy Intensive

About the Simon Borg Olivier Yoga Synergy Intensive

Simon's intensive will include static to dynamic meditative practices of posture, movement & breath work, including Qigong (chi-gung) and Yoga. It will also contain elements of dance, non-contact martial arts, and exercise-based physiotherapy. The general day format is broken up into two parts, both around three hours long, and are as follows:

Part one:

The morning class will begin with some breath work with sound and chanting, leading to seated meditation practice. Then there will be joint movements originating from your body’s core. Then Simon will teach a spinal movement practice followed by some seated breath work. These first sessions usually conclude by integrating these practices into a fluid dynamic meditative session. These practices enhance energy and blood circulation while staying completely relaxed and supporting immune health.

Part two:

In the afternoon class Simon will use the energetic aspects of the morning practice to develop a yoga posture, movement, and breathing practice. This is along the lines of the YogaSynergy system has developed in coordination with his understanding as an exercise-based physiotherapist over the last 30 years. These practices build strength, flexibility and fitness while maintaining the energy and inner peace of the meditative state, akin to the elite athlete’s zone or flow state.

Each part of the teaching is initially taught with verbal instructions and then repeated as a visually-guided meditative practice to music.
