"Once we have established natural breathing with postures, then we are ready for Pranayama!" - Simon Borg-Olivier
Simon Borg-Olivier has been studying traditional forms of posture, movement, breathing, and mental control for more than 50 years. He has studied with one of the greatest Yogic masters of the 20th century - B.K.S Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, and T.K.V Desikachar.
