Join the Secrets & Science of Eating a 3-Part Masterclass Series
Train directly with Simon Borg-Olivier through live Zoom sessions and a full year of guided online study. Learn the method that brings together Yoga Synergy and 5-D Flow — for practitioners and teachers who want more than sequences and poses.
Most teacher trainings focus on postures, cues, and certification. This one goes further. This is a 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 just learning postures. It’s about experiencing yoga as intelligent, healing movement system.

For practitioners and teachers
Whether you want to teach or simply go deeper into your own practice, this training is designed for anyone wanting to dive deep.
The 200h 5-D Synergy Flow Online Teacher Training is designed for people who want to go beyond modern posture-based yoga and develop a deeper understanding of how yoga, movement, breath, anatomy, and meditative practice work together as one integrated system.
Whether you are already teaching, preparing to teach, or simply ready to go much deeper into yoga, breath, movement, and anatomy, this training offers a far more complete and intelligent approach than most conventional programs. It includes the foundation of a 200-hour training, while going well beyond it.
It is not just about learning what to teach, but about understanding why practice works, how to adapt it intelligently, and how to embody it over time.
If you’ve completed a teacher training but still feel you were given sequences more than real understanding, this training helps fill in the gaps. It is especially valuable for teachers who want deeper knowledge of anatomy, breath, movement mechanics. Simon's method is designed to take your yoga practice to the next level.
If you want to teach, this training gives you a full 200-hour foundation while going far beyond the minimum curriculum. You’ll learn not only how to guide a class, but how to understand the principles behind what you are teaching.
Not everyone joins to become a teacher. Many students come because they want to understand yoga more deeply, improve the way they move and breathe, and study a method that goes far beyond posture-based practice.
This training is also for anyone who wants to study with one of the most experienced and original teachers in modern yoga. Simon’s work offers a rare integration of traditional practice, physiotherapy, breath science, and decades of embodied teaching experience.
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 and dynamic yoga practice, that thousands have benefited from worldwide.
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.
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 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
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.
This training is designed for teachers and practitioners who want deepen their understanding of intelligent movement, breathwork, and biomechanics.
You'll change not only what you know, but how you experience your practice. You’ll come away with a clearer understanding of the body, a more intelligent way to approach yoga and movement, and a teaching framework you can actually apply.
You will learn the elements of 5-D Flow, the foundation of all traditional and natural movement.
Explore how it connects to the Yoga Synergy System, developed by movement based physiotherapists Simon Borg-Olivier & Bianca Machliss
Master safe and effective posture, movement, breathing, and mental control for health, happiness, and longevity.
This training goes deeper into principles, mechanisms, and integration. You leave not only knowing what to do, but why it works.
Study with one of the most experienced and original teachers in modern yoga and movement through a training shaped by decades of practice, research, and teaching.
This is not surface-level instruction. Simon’s teaching is designed to help you understand the deeper principles behind movement, breath, and practice.
The goal is not only to complete hours, but to develop a clearer and more embodied understanding of yoga, anatomy, and intelligent teaching.
Simon Borg-Olivier is a physiotherapist, certified yoga therapist, molecular biologist, university lecturer, and the creator of the 5-D Synergy Flow Method.
With over 50 years of personal practice and 40+ years of teaching experience, he has guided thousands of students worldwide through a unique integration of traditional yoga and modern medical science.
He has studied personally with Sri B.K.S. Iyengar, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and Sri T.V.K. Desikachar, as well as many other masters from India, Tibet, Japan, and China.
Simon’s work has always been rooted in one central aim: to bridge the wisdom of the East with the science of the West. His teaching brings together traditional yoga, anatomy, biomechanics, therapeutic movement, and breathwork into a method that is both deeply informed and directly practical.
Known for making complex principles clear, embodied, and accessible, Simon teaches in a way that helps students build strength without strain, flexibility without tension, and energy without overexertion.
Graduates who complete all course requirements will receive a 200-hour Yoga Alliance International and Yoga Alliance certification and be recognized as Level 2 5-D Synergy Flow teachers within our internal training system.
"Yoga Alliance International" and "Yoga Alliance" are separate organisations. We are currently finalising Yoga Alliance registration for this training, and once approved, graduates will also receive a Yoga Alliance–recognised certification.
But this training is about far more than certification. The curriculum goes well beyond what most 200-hour trainings provide, offering a deeper framework for understanding movement, breath, anatomy, and intelligent practice.
This training is a year of guided study, live mentorship, personal practice, and teaching development. You’ll move through the material step by step, building understanding over time rather than trying to absorb everything at once.
As soon as you enroll, you receive access to the HHL platform, where you can begin with the pre-recorded lectures, practices, study materials, and assignments.
You’ll begin with the core principles of 5-D Synergy Flow, Yoga Synergy Fundamentals, and applied anatomy, creating a strong base for the deeper work ahead.
The training includes 26 live Zoom sessions held every two weeks, giving you the chance to learn directly from Simon and integrate the material gradually over time.
As you progress, you’ll complete quizzes, assignments, two short teaching videos, and written work to consolidate your learning and complete the certification pathway.
Foundation principles of the 5D Synergy Flow and the Yoga Synergy Fundamentals sequence.
The relationship between breath, movement, and internal support. Anatomy in action. Mudra, bandha, and prana demystified.
Joint Synergy, Spinal Synergy, Breath Synergy, Mind Synergy, and Core Synergy.
Intermediate to advanced 5-D Synergy Flow practices, whole-body movement integration, and deeper internal work.
Social media and marketing, how to start teaching after the training, and Women’s Health.
Therapy principles, teaching methodology, posture-specific teaching skills, assignments, and final integration.
We understand choosing the right online teacher training is a big decision. This training is not only about certification but about the depth, clarity, and originality of the teaching itself. Watch this short video with two selected clips from live Zoom classes on Pranayama and Bandha to get a sense of what it’s like to study with Simon inside the training.
Trusted by teachers, therapists, and long-time practitioners
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
I’m blown away by the information. Thank you for helping me understand my body better and become a better yoga teacher!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
The training includes 26 live Zoom classes, each 2 hours long, held every two weeks across the year, alongside a full library of online course materials, recorded lectures, practices, quizzes, and assignments.
This online teacher training is certified under Yoga Alliance International.
It also counts toward Simon’s internal certification registry, and graduates who complete all requirements become Level 2 5-D Synergy Flow teachers within our system.
