7-Day Retreat

in Simon's Private Dome

6th to 12th December 2025

Byron Bay Shire, Australia

Description

Simon is openning the doors of his home to a small circle of practitioners for a 7-day in-depth immersion in his private geodesic dome in Byron Bay Shire.


With only 12 participants, this is the most personal way to experience Simon’s 50 years of embodied wisdom in yoga, qigong, breathwork, and physiotherapy.

Unlike larger public workshops, this immersion allows space for individual guidance, questions, and conversation.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A Week of Intelligent Movement and Embodied Learning

Simon’s approach integrates yoga, qigong, neigong, breathwork, and functional movement into a single, fluid system.


The practices are gentle yet powerful — improving circulation, energy flow, and joint mobility while keeping the nervous system calm and balanced.

Over seven days, you’ll explore how to:

  • Build strength without tension and flexibility without strain

  • Improve blood flow and energy without overexerting the heart

  • Synchronize breath, movement, and focus into a meditative state

  • Develop a personal practice that enhances health, happiness, and longevity

DAILY STRUCTURE

Class Times

9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. (Please bring your own food and drink if you wish to eat during the break.)

Morning Sessions – 5-Dimensional Flow

Morning sessions (approx. 3 hours) begin with breathwork, sound, and chanting, followed by seated meditation and joint movements initiated from the body’s core.


These evolve into spinal and whole-body movement practices that awaken circulation and energy while maintaining complete relaxation.

Afternoon Sessions – Yoga Synergy & 5-Dimensional Flow Integration

Afternoon sessions (approx. 3 hours) apply the energetic principles of the morning into posture, movement, and breathing sequences based on the Yoga Synergy Method and 5-Dimensional Flow System.


You’ll learn to move from your centre, cultivate stability and ease, and enter the natural “flow state” where thinking and action work together in harmony.

This approach transforms your usual yoga practice into an energetic, integrated system—one that supports your entire physiology for health, vitality, and longevity.
