WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

We will be learning a comprehensive system of posture, movement, breathing & mental control with 5 main parts, each of which can work in the 5 dimensions of your true core (known as the Dantien in China, the Kanda in India, and the lower abdomen of enteric nervous system in the West). This system connects the ‘thinking brain’ in your head with your ‘feeling brain’ or ‘gut brain’ at your true

Understanding the movement forms of many traditional cultures, including India, China, Tibet, and Japan, helped us develop our extensive "5-Dimensional Synergy Flow System". Simon's teachings at our retreats and intensive training generally include static to dynamic meditative practices of posture, movement, and breathwork. The method consists of activities resembling modern yoga qigong, dance, non-contact martial arts, and exercise-based physiotherapy.

• Improve flexibility without stretching.
