Simon Borg-Olivier

Your Teacher

Simon was introduced to yoga at an early age, at 8 yrs old he was introduced to Uddiyana Bandha (an internal yogic lock), which still remains at the heart of his practice. Throughout his life he has practised many kinds of physical fitness and has practised Hatha, Iyengar, Oki and Ashtanga Yoga with many yoga masters.

Having already studied biology, Simon became a professional physio-therapist alongside his teaching partner Bianca Machliss. This extensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology profoundly affected their yoga practise and together they developed Yoga Synergy.
