The 12 circulatory pumps
Understand why the heart is only one of the body’s natural pumps, and how other mechanisms can support circulation in daily life and practice.
Live Online Masterclass with Simon Borg-Olivier
12 Pumps Masterclass
Learn how to use the natural "pumps" in your body to improve blood flow, energy, and internal vitality.
Most people focus only on “cardio”, which usually means making the heart beat faster. The heart is essential, but it is not the only way blood moves through your body.
This practical 2-hour live masterclass is based on Simon’s Circulatory Therapy work, where traditional hatha yoga principles are translated into clear, applicable modern physiology.
The 12 Pumps
Your blood does not move only because of your heart.
If you learn how to use posture, movement, breathing, pressure, gravity, and internal control, you can encourage circulation while staying calm. You can become warmer and more energised without needing to do much.
Understanding these pumps can help you turn your whole body into one big heart — a living system where every movement, every breath, and every intelligent action helps blood and energy move more freely.
“Turn your whole body into one big heart.>— Simon Borg-Olivier
What You’ll Learn
A simple program to understand how circulation really works.
This masterclass gives you a practical framework for improving blood flow, internal energy, and nervous system balance.
02
Blood flow without stress
Learn how to encourage blood flow while keeping the heart rate lower, breath slow, and the nervous system balanced.
03
Energy without over-breathing
Explore how breathing less, can improve calmn, focus, and oxygen delivery when applied intelligently.
04
Movement as internal therapy
Learn how active, fluid, core-connected movement can become a way to nourish the body rather than exhaust it.
05
Relaxation without lethargy
Discover how to remain relaxed while still being engaged and internally responsive.
06
Application to yoga and therapy
Learn how these principles apply to yoga postures, movement practice, therapy, daily function, and intelligent teaching.
Hatha Yoga in Scientific Language
Ha and Tha as physiology, not only symbolism.
Ha and Tha are often described as sun and moon. Simon also explains them in modern scientific language: compression and expansion, activation and relaxation, effort and ease, high and low pressure.
This is where hatha yoga becomes a practical science of circulation, breath, pressure, nervous system balance, and internal energy flow.

Who This Is For
For anyone who wants better circulation, energy, and internal health.
Use the principles in practice, not just in theory.
Yoga practitioners
If you want to understand hatha yoga beyond shapes, this class will help you feel how posture, breath, and movement affect circulation and energy.
Yoga teachers
If you teach others, this gives you a clearer way to explain circulation, internal energy, breath, bandha, and nervous system balance.
Movement professionals
If you work with movement, therapy, fitness, somatics, or rehabilitation, this offers a practical physiological model for internal health.
People with low energy or poor circulation
If you often feel cold, tired, sluggish, tense, or depleted, this masterclass can help you understand gentler ways to support blood flow and vitality.
