Simon Borg-Olivier in Brisbane 2026 - EARLY BIRD PRICE CLOSES SOON!

BOOK HERE >https://simonborgolivier.com/2026-brisbane-workshop

5-Dimensional Synergy Flow workshops serve as the foundation for Simon’s unique approach to intelligent yoga and movement.

In these workshop, you’ll explore the five key dimensions — joints, spine, breath, core, and mind — and learn how to integrate them into one cohesive system that unites strength, flexibility, circulation, and calmness.

Drawing on over 50 years of practice and teaching across yoga, physiotherapy, and traditional movement systems, Simon distills complex principles into simple, experiential learning.

The workshops are intense yet accessible to practitioners of all levels from yoga teachers and movers to anyone curious about how to move with less effort and more internal connection.

Each session provides clear theory, practical application, and space for personal exploration within the 5-D Synergy framework.

Why is movement so vital?

In our modern world we spend so much time in a sedentary state.

If you think about it we spend four to eight hours roughly in bed, then we get up and we sit on a chair which is the toilet, then we go and sit on a chair to eat our breakfast, then a lot of us get into a car to drive to work where a lot of us sit down for eight hours a day, then we get in our car again and go home and then we sit on a chair in front of our televisions for more hours and then we go back to bed.
Rinse and repeat.

The human body is not designed to be still in such a manner for such long periods of time.

Sitting cross-legged is more beneficial but a lot of us cannot do that anymore because of the privilege of having chairs.

In early days not many people had chairs only the kings or the queens of the villages or cities.

But now everyone sits in a chair and our range of motion in our hips & our lower back has been compromised.

The statistics worldwide is that 10% of the worldwide population has lower back pain. It is said to be the world's number one disability.

Therefore I truly feel that the chair is like the new smoking. It has changed our body so significantly it's disabling our natural ability to sit stand and move and to help release this in a accessible way is really important.

For many years I practiced traditional Indian yoga of various lineages and styles and I loved it. Though I did find sitting on the floor & hip openers very challenging.

As my body has aged and I have taught more yoga I have come to recognize that most people cannot even sit on the floor let alone do a lot of the postures without pain or stress on the body and on the nervous system.

Hence a lot of people don't even come back after their first class. And a lot of teachers are unaware, I've had so many people come to me saying that they've tried yoga but its too hard and most people are not likely to go up to the teacher and say anything about their style, particularly if they don't like it.

Just because the teacher can do the poses doesn't mean it is accessible to most bodies.

Forcing yourself to push past the point of comfort or even challenge can send your body into a flight or fight response which then causes more blockage in the nervous system.

Firstly we need to reset our nervous systems because we're so stressed from our daily lives, then in a gentle manner we need to access our core so that we can release the lower lumbar spine and our hip flexors.

I love to teach from a physiological and neurological viewpoint of how the postures can assist us while still remaining accessible for modern people.

This being my 26th year of practicing and 18th year of teaching I am continuing to learn and find more joy in the practice of movement.
I truly believe this is kept me alive and is assisting with my longevity and mobility. Hence why I can dance for over 5 hours and still be full of energy! 😊 Pretty good for an old girl 🤣

If you have any questions about anything that you're going through or would like some advice please reach out and I would love to have a chat 💜

Keep moving everyone!

So why do I keep bringing Simon Borg-Olivier back to Brisbane?

Firstly he's an amazing and lovely person, who has one of the most positive and best outlooks on life that I have ever encountered.
He has been my main teacher for this year 17 years and I have a watched his style evolve and progress and he never ceases to amaze and spark my curiosity and love for movement-based practices.

On an experience level he is one of Australia's most knowledgeable teachers as he has been teaching yoga and movement based practices for nearly 50 years, a physiotherapist, a molecular biologist and a genetic scientist.

So blending the science with traditional hatha yoga he has created an incredible system that is accessible to all bodies focusing not just on the physiological effects of movement breath and sound but also on the neurological.

If you are a movement based practitioner or if you are a person that loves to discover new things and to learn off knowledgeable people I highly recommend this workshop.
