Simon Rowe's Fluid Power SMART yoga trainin

Join Simon for a deep dive into Fluid Power Yoga during this signature 3 day training

Awaken your fluid power

Movement is medicine and people need intelligent movement more than ever. Explore a yoga practice that moves and breathes with you – somatic, embodied and spaciously alive. Experience the fusion of the wisdom of East and West in a yoga of our time. Fluid Power is modern vinyasa with classical roots. Deepen your study of embodied yoga that invites intelligent, organic and somatic movement to compliment the stillness of holding yoga poses. Fluid power invites you to move beyond rigidity, fixed shapes and mindless repetition. Rather than forcing the body into predetermined shapes, we move into poses organically from breath, awareness and the natural intelligence of the body itself.

Meditation in motion

Simon has developed his fluid power yoga teachings based on years of teaching and his extensive study of energetic (Prana) vinyasa yoga, kundalini and conscious movement. He explores the intersection between the ancient wisdom of yoga and the more modern insights from somatic and conscious movement practices. Learn to practice in a way that is fluid, conscious and sustainable. Fluid power is soft power, nothing is ever forced, the practice unfolds organically and harmoniously. The yoga becomes a meditation in motion, a living flow rather than a series of poses. Learn how to move from the inside, to ride the wave of the breath, be guided by breath and Prana.

Intelligent sequencing & Movement intelligence

Fluid Power sequences unfold through cycles of waves, building gradually and preparing the body to move deeper into more challenging poses in a way that feels intelligent and balanced. Learn how to initiate fluid movement from the centre of the body, from the spine. Movement is organised from within and carried through the whole body, creating a more integrated and co-ordinated experience as movement unfolds in spiral, circular and wave-like patterns that feel natural, intelligent and organic. Mindful pauses create space for students to feel and integrate, while encouraging them to find their own rhythm and honour their own needs. Instead of progressing linearly toward a single peak pose, the practice moves through counterbalancing patterns of movement. Forward folds are balanced with heart openers, spinal flexion with extension, stability with mobility. This counterpose-based approach creates a rhythmic and nourishing practice that many practitioners describe as feeling like a massage from the inside out, supporting the fascia, joints and nervous system. The result is a practice that builds strength and openness while maintaining a sense of fluidity, balance and internal harmony.

SMART Yoga Training

Fluid Power is one of Simon’s ’S.M.A.R.T. Yoga Trainings’ hosted by De Nieuwe Yoga School. These trainings follow the S.M.A.R.T. approach — Somatic, Movement-inspired, Alignment-based, Responsive and Transformative — a modern yoga practice with classical roots exploring the meeting of East and West. The trainings follow a hybrid learning approach. After the live training, students receive access to the online platform with on-demand practice videos, a digital manual and guidance for the homework assignment.

The online platform supports students to revisit the teachings and gradually integrate them into their own practice and teaching. Students who wish to receive certification are supported to successfully complete the homework process.

What you will learn

During this training we explore how traditional yogic principles such as Prana, breath and the subtle body intersect with modern understandings of somatic movement and embodiment. When these perspectives are brought together, yoga becomes both energetically powerful and physically intelligent. Students receive a reader including the script for a full Fluid Power yoga sequence that they can practice and teach.
