(1) LIVE TRAINING:
Up until recently I have been teaching workshops and intensive Retreats all over the world. I hope to resume these soon in the meantime I’m only teaching ‘Live in Person classes’ in Australia. If you are in Australia (or maybe you would like to come here one day) I run live workshops periodically (sign up for my free newsletter at www.simoborgolivier.com if you would like to be informed).
I also regularly teach classes in ‘BodyHealz’ in the Byron Bay Industrial Estate (Australia) on a Tuesday and Thursday night at 5:15 pm for 90 minutes each class.
The Tuesday class is similar like to the class that I taught at the festival on ‘five-dimensional flow’, which I see as the basis to all movement forms. The Thursday class uses these fluid movements to enter the traditional yoga postures of the Yoga Synergy System.
In each class I usually have the first part of the class what I instruct and demonstrate sequence and the second part of the class are usually turn on some music and we have officially instructed meditative practice.
This is a beautiful new studio that I’m honoured to teaching again. I have not taught casual classes for about 10 years and it was only a few months ago that I decided that after sitting at my desk for over a year after coming back from international travelling and teaching Beijing over the last 10 years that I would take up casual teaching again. And I’m really enjoying it.
