Yin and Yang Yoga for Body, Breath and Mind

Yin and Yang Yoga for Body, Breath and Mind January 3 – 10, 2015 with Simon Low & Guest Kirtan Musicians Edo and Jo About the Teacher Simon Low

Simon

Low, BWY and Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 500) teacher, is the Principal of The

Yoga Academy offering foundational and continuing education to yoga

teachers and students in the UK and internationally. After a career in

the music industry based out of London and New York, Simon undertook

training as yoga teacher and therapist 24 years ago with renowned yoga

teacher, therapist and author Dr. Larry Payne at Samata International in

Los Angeles, California. These studies were augmented by Simon’s

training in macrobiotics, bodywork and psycho-spiritual enquiry. Simon’s

foundational teachings are informed by the teachings of Sri T

Krishnamacharya and his primary students. Simon’s current teachings

reflect his continued training and on-going studies with international

teachers in many forms of Hatha and Classical yoga, traditional Chinese

and eastern medicine, Chi Kung, ancient and contemporary healing

methodologies, centred-movement, psychology and physical therapy. Simon

is an ongoing student of A.H. Almaas’ Ridhwan School, but his primary

teacher lives within himself, a relationship he continues to cultivate

with the help and guidance of his current teachers and practice. He

inspires others to cultivate the same relationship within themselves and

their own yoga practices.

Following many years of teaching in the UK, Simon co-founded Triyoga

in London, where he was Director of Yoga until 2003, since which time he

has concentrated on teacher training at The Yoga Academy and on leading

study intensives, workshops and rejuvenating yoga retreats around the

world. Over the years, Simon has developed a unique and personal

teaching style and now practices and teaches a harmonious combination of

Yin and Yang Yoga. Not a set system but a balanced approach that can

inform and enrich all styles of yoga, Yin and Yang Yoga offers fresh

vitality to yoga practice, kindness and respect to the human form,

transformative breathing practices, and for the mind – the space for

peace and tranquillity.

In 2007, Simon released his now very popular DVD “Yin and Yang Yoga” and will release a Yin Yoga App in 2014.
