with Simon Rowe

Are you ready to dive deeper into science of Vinyasa yoga?

During this new 25 hour training Simon shares the energetic teachings that have revolutionised Vinyasa Yoga in the last 30 years. Experience the activation of Prana, your life energy, to transform your practice from the inside out.

I love to share these teachings because of what they did for me. I can promise you that Energetic Alignment will transform each and every pose you do, none of your poses will ever look or feel the same again – Simon

Energetic Alignment

The essence of Vinyasa flow is based on the activation of your energy body. This training focuses on Energetic Alignment as an approach to yoga that differs from regular physical alignment. Here, the focus is on awakening the flow of energy from the inside rather than imposing the shape of the pose from the outside. This brilliant system of Energetic Alignment was developed by Shiva Rea based on her in-depth studies of the Vinyasa teachings of grand master Sri T. Krishnamacarya. Simon has studied extensively with Shiva Rea, who is considered the global pioneer of the modern, energetic vinyasa yoga system. 

Learn to embody the energy flow of the 5 main Prana energies, (the 5 vayus) in each yoga pose:

• prana (rising energy) 
• apana (grounding energy)
• samana (in-drawing and centering energy)
• vyana (expansive and radiant energy)
• udana ( expressive energy, breath and vocal sound)
  
  

Essential teachings

Study poses as energy maps and move energy along the energetic lines of the poses to cultivate a vibrant yoga practice that embodies the full energetic potential of each pose. Embody authentic flow during dynamic sequences and dancing warriors, by learning to ride the energetic breath wave during dynamic transitions. Learn to support the flow of your vital energy in every phase of your practice, from your warm-up all the way through to your relaxation.

Breath is life

An essential part of the Vinyasa system is to learn to integrate breath and movement in a harmonious energetic flow. Simon offers both classic (Ujjayi) and innovative teachings on how to extend breath, expanding lung capacity and breath energy.
