From severe knee injury to pain-free movement.

In 1985, I had the first of several serious accidents that severely damaged my knees. One of the worst injuries I suffered involved a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a torn medial ligament, and damage to my medial meniscus in my left leg. In another accident, I fractured my kneecap (patella) and suffered deep bruising in my shin bones (tibia and fibula).

Faced with these challenges, I turned to my teachers from Tibet, Japan, India, and China, combining their wisdom with my knowledge as an exercise-based physiotherapist. Through years of study and practice, I developed a a set of unique exercises that successfully healed my knees—without surgery. This has not only restored my own movement and strength but has also helped hundreds of people recover from knee injuries and regain pain-free mobility.

In this course, I will share the exact techniques that helped me heal, strengthen, and protect my knees, so you, too, can move with confidence and ease.

Use the principles in yoga without forcing the knees.

Knee injuries can happen when people try to manipulate themselves into postures without enough hip mobility or knee muscle control. This is especially relevant in modern yoga, where students may force cross-legged positions, deep squats, kneeling, lotus-like shapes, or lunge-based postures.

Simon’s approach helps you move actively into postures, modify the knee angle when needed, and use muscle activation to protect the joint rather than relying on passive force.
