Simon Low : Yin & Yang Yoga, Somatics & Chi Kung

BWY-accredited, E-RYT 500 and YAP SYT 

After a career in the music industry based out of London and New York, I undertook training as A yoga teacher and therapist 30 years ago with renowned yoga teacher, therapist and author Dr Larry Payne at Samata International in Los Angeles, California. These studies were augmented by my studies and training in macrobiotics, bodywork, chi kung and psycho-spiritual enquiry. As principal of The Yoga Academy, I offer foundational and continuing education to yoga teachers and students in the UK and internationally.

My foundational teachings are informed by those of Sri T Krishnamacharya and his primary students, in particular TKV Desikachar and BKS Iyengar. My current teachings reflect my continued enquiry, training and on-going studies in many forms of Hatha and Classical yoga, traditional Chinese and eastern medicine, Chi Kung, ancient and contemporary healing methodologies, centred-movement, psychology, physical therapy and nutrition. I also studied in A.H. Almaas’ Ridhwan School, and have also studied The Course in Miracles. My primary teacher lives within myself, a relationship I continue to cultivate with the help and guidance of my current teachers and practice. I hope to inspire others to cultivate the same relationship within themselves and their own yoga practices.

Following many years of teaching in the UK, I was co-founder of Triyoga in London, where I was Director of Yoga until 2003, since which time I have concentrated on teacher training at The Yoga Academy and on leading study immersions, workshops and rejuvenating yoga retreats around the world. Over the years, I believe that I have developed a unique and personal teaching style and now practice and teach 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.
