Yoga that works with your body, not against
This training is the culmination of a lifetime of embodied experience.
Simon has taught thousands across the globe and lived through countless health challenges himself. Drawing on the wisdom of teachers from India, China, Tibet, and beyond, this training goes far beyond learning postures—it’s about experiencing yoga as intelligent, healing movement.
About the Yoga Synergy Method
Developed over 40 years by physiotherapists Simon Borg-Olivier and Bianca Machliss, the Yoga Synergy Method blends Western medical science with traditional yoga wisdom. Simon studied personally with Sri B.K.S. Iyengar, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and Sri T.V.K. Desikachar. The result is a safe, dynamic, meditative flow that thousands worldwide have benefited from. Bianca and Simon have successfully trained teachers globally for over 20 years.
About 5-Dimensional Flow System
5-Dimensional Flow explores the common origin of all natural movement, from yoga to qigong, martial arts, dance and therapeutic exercises. It centres on the idea that movement, breath, and even emotions originate in the lower abdominal region—the seat of your enteric nervous system (the “gut brain”). By reconnecting with the five main “dimensions” of core and trunk movement, adults can rediscover the natural fluidity often lost in modern life.

Afternoon Session: Yoga Synergy & 5D Flow Implementation
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The 5D Flow System
[Morning Practice]
Throughout the 6 days course, you will gradually learn the 5 practices of this system:
▪ Mind Synergy: Learn to synchronize your thinking brain with your action brain, which enables a flow state - calm and powerful zone - includes: the 12 key bridges between the conscious and unconscious systems; using voice, chanting and breath work; self-massage techniques; dynamic meditation through joint and spinal movements; static seated meditation for deep internal stillness.
▪ Joint Synergy: Learn to initiate movement from your core rather than your limbs, reducing wear and tear on the joints, resulting in greater longevity, pain-free movement, increased in strength and flexibility in the arms and legs.
▪ Spinal Synergy: Learn how to move your trunk in the four primary directions, giving you benefits of improved spinal mobility and core strength, more energy and vitality, back pain relief and improved function of internal organs.
▪ Breath Synergy: Learn to coordinate breath with the 3 dimensions of your trunk, helps to increase physical and mental energy, promote deep sense of calmness and emotional balance, enhance digestive, reproductive and immune system health.
▪ Core Synergy: Explore how your core can move in 5 dynamic ways within 3 dimensional space. This is a gateway to Yoga Synergy, Qi Gong, Internal martial arts, dance and creative expressions, therapeutic applications for musculoskeletal and medical conditions.
Yoga Synergy & 5D Flow Implementation
[Afternoon practice]
Each afternoon session translates the morning’s principles into embodied yoga practice.
You’ll explore how to access every asana posture through natural, core-initiated motion which builds strength without tension and flexibility without strain.
The practice improves circulation without overworking the heart, while synchronizing breath, movement, and attention into a calm, meditative flow.
As your body learns to move intelligently, your thinking brain and action brain begin to work in harmony.
This approach transforms your usual yoga practice into an energetic, integrated system—one that not only develops strength and flexibility without stress, but also enhances your overall health, happiness, and longevity.
