He teaches in a grounded and accessible way, keeping things practical and down to earth. Rather than just moving through shapes, he encourages students to explore what they feel, ask questions, and gradually build a clearer understanding of their practice.

The training brings together asana, breath, alignment, philosophy, and anatomy, offering a structured space to go deeper and develop a more consistent and thoughtful way of practicing.

Alongside his yoga teaching, Michael has a background in traditional Thai massage, Yin Yoga, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), reflected in his hands-on approach to adjustments — with attention, clarity, and a sensitivity that helps students feel more at ease in their bodies.

For him, this training is not about rushing towards teaching, but about taking the time to build a solid foundation, understand what you’re doing, and develop tools that stay with you well beyond the course.

She brings a thoughtful and attentive approach to teaching, with a strong focus on alignment, technique, and building a practice that feels both supportive and sustainable over time.

She was drawn to geriatrics for its more global and human approach — working closely with different specialists and looking at each person as a whole, rather than focusing on just one aspect.

Her way of teaching is interactive, engaging, and down to earth. She enjoys making complex ideas simple, using examples, questions, and a bit of humour to help things click and stay with you.

Outside of her medical work, she has a strong connection to movement through a wide range of sports, including karate (black belt), dance, tennis, swimming, running, and surfing. This brings a practical layer to how she approaches anatomy — not just as theory, but as something you can feel and relate to.

Rather than approaching philosophy as something abstract, Simon focuses on making it relatable and workable. His sessions are less about memorising concepts and more about taking the time to reflect, question, and see how these ideas show up in real life.

There is space for discussion, curiosity, and different perspectives, allowing the teachings to become something personal rather than something to “get right.” Themes like relationships, identity, purpose, and direction naturally become part of the conversation.

In the context of the training, his aim is simple: to make philosophy feel relevant, approachable, and worth engaging with — not just during the course, but in the way you move through daily life.
