Teachings will include static to dynamic meditation practices of posture, movement & breath work including Qigong & Yoga. They will also contain some elements of dance, non-contact martial arts, and exercise-based physiology.
Over the 5 sessions Simon will draw from over 50 years of studying traditional forms of posture, movement, breathing and mental control. Simon has worked as a research-based scientist, exercise-base physiotherapist, and a university lecturer in several science fields.
Simon tours internationally and is unique in his depth of knowledge and understanding based on a lifetime of dedication to personal practice, learning and teaching.
• Friday Night is an Introduction & Preparation to what will follow over the weekend
• Morning Sessions begin with some breath work in the form of sound & chanting, leading to seated meditation practice. Next, joint movements originating from your body's core. Then Simon will teach a spinal movement practice followed by some seated breath work. The morning session will conclude with an integrative fluid dynamic meditative experience.
• Afternoon Sessions will use the energetic aspects of the morning practice to develop a yoga posture, movement & breathing practice. This will be along the lines of the Yoga Synergy system developed in coordination with a deep understanding of exercise-based physiotherapy.
Each part of the course is first taught with instructions & then repeated as a visually guided meditative practice. There is time for questions and reflection for students & teachers.

"I believe that to make the world a better place people should treat each other, all life and the Earth itself in a way that acknowledges the connections between everything. I believe the best way of beginning this practise is to acknowledge and enhance the connections within yourself. In my teaching, I show safe, accessible, and effective ways of developing practices which can give you the essence of being in connection, or being in the zone or the flow state, as some athletes might say. I believe this state is equivalent to the meditative state that is meant to be part of the traditional yoga but is often lost in modern yoga. I believe that while it is important to maintain the health of your physical body, in terms of improving functional strength and flexibility in your muscles and joints, it is also important to address the needs of your physiological body, in terms of your energy levels, your nervous system, as well as the health of your digestive, immune and reproductive systems. I believe it is also essential for health happiness and longevity to address the state of your mental body, including things like your ability to think clearly with a focused calm mind and to be able to make happiness your default mental state and not be affected adversely mentally by the external environment.
Thanks to my brilliant traditional teachers from Tibet, Japan India, and China and my amazing teachers from the Western scientific world, I have synthesised many ways of helping people’s physical bodies in terms of strength and flexibility, while the same time-sharing good energy (enhanced circulation of blood) and loving information (dominance of the parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the ‘rest, rejuvenation, relaxation and regeneration response’) inside themselves. I believe that once we learn to share good energy loving information inside ourselves in this way, we are much more able to share good energy and loving information with those around us in the world in general."

We look forward to sharing this wonderful opportunity with you,
