The big idea

The 200h 5-D Synergy Flow Online Teacher Training brings together Yoga Synergy, 5-D Flow, breathwork, applied anatomy, movement principles, meditation, and teaching methodology into one integrated system.
This is for people who want to understand not just what to do, but why it works — and how to teach it with clarity.
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.
About 5-Dimensional Synergy Flow
5-D Synergy Flow is the integration of Yoga Synergy and 5-Dimensional Flow into one complete practice and teaching method. It combines the structure, intelligence, and therapeutic precision of Yoga Synergy with the fluidity, breath-led movement, and whole-body integration of 5-D Flow.
The result is a system that goes far beyond posture-based yoga. It trains practitioners to understand movement, breath, core support, anatomy, meditative awareness, and teaching principles as parts of one interconnected method. For many students, this becomes not just a way of practicing, but a whole new way of understanding the body and yoga itself.
In practice, this means learning how to:
Build strength while staying relaxed
Enhance flexibility without aggressive stretching
Increase energy efficiency without excessive effort
Improve circulation without unnecessarily elevating your heart rate
Reduce joint strain, release deeply held tension, and support overall wellbeing

Testimonials
What practitioners & teachers say
Comments from people who studied Simon’s approach to asana mechanics, bandha (co-activation), and safe progression.
★★★★★
The knowledge you gain is truly invaluable
The training was an incredibly rich experience. Even though I’m a yoga teacher and a physiotherapist, I gained so much. The postures are presented clearly and safely, with a strong focus on alignment, injury prevention, and meaningful use of bandhas.
Petra Franetič
Yoga Teacher & Physiotherapist
★★★★★
This completely transformed my practice
It feels like all my yoga studies before were fumbling around in postures whose essence I didn’t understand. Simon encourages discernment and real sensitivity, not forcing limits. Challenging — but still safely guided.
Eddy
Ashtanga Teacher
★★★★★
I finally understand how to practice without injury
After years of Ashtanga I ended up with a bulging disc and chronic low back pain. Simon’s teaching gave me an epiphany: more sense, more discernment, and practical ways to practice and teach safely and effectively.
Erin
Yoga Teacher & Dedicated Student
★★★★★
Essential knowledge for every yoga teacher
I started teaching only a few years ago, but this work made me realize how little I knew about real teaching methodology. The insight into each posture is extremely practical — and it changes how you cue.
Melissa
Osteopath
More testimonials
Having completed advanced anatomy study before, this training consolidated my understanding of bandhas by showing their application in each posture. I now feel more confident teaching bandhas comprehensively. Thanks once again Simon for your tireless efforts!
Pippa Matthews
Doing yoga without understanding your body is a sure way to get injured. This material gives you the information you need for safe, effective practice — and Simon delivers it with clarity, enthusiasm, and real teaching skill.
Zoltan Yoga Student
I’m blown away by the information. Thank you for helping me understand my body better and become a better yoga teacher!
Patrick Kiefer
I got so much out of this. The explanations are consistent and logical throughout, and as you progress you find deeper understanding in each posture. There was always an emphasis on practicing safely. Well worth it for practitioners at all levels.
Beverley Kampel
I loved it. I gained so much knowledge about working with injuries, plus practical tips for alignment, breathing, and movement. Simon is a natural-born teacher who can explain anything in an accessible way.
Alina Cvetkova
I've been practising Ashtanga for many years, but what Simon shared revolutionised my practise. Now I can practice with so much more ease — and after practice, I feel energised rather than drained.
George Symonds Ashtanga Practitioner
After years of regular yoga practice, my lower back, wrists, and shoulders were actually worse. I was often shown only the final stages of postures and pushed too far. Simon changed how I practice completely. I can now practice without pain, discomfort, or loss of motivation.
Olivier Deletroz Chiropodist
This filled in all the gaps my teacher training left behind. Complex anatomy and physiology finally clicked. Deep, detailed, and yet accessible — every teacher should go through this, no matter how long they've been teaching.
David
This contains a lifetime of wisdom. It explains joint mechanics and muscle activation so clearly that it became my primary resource. I’m incredibly happy with what I've learned!
