Today was Simon Borg Olivier‘s first time teaching at the BYC. These Maltese/Australian yoga teacher has developed a very personal practice that is strong and energetic as well as fluid and safe.

After the most technical part of the session he put on some music, went up the little stage and we just started moving together without using words. Too many words are often used in yoga classes, too much mind involved. From that moment we were just breath and movement. At some point he set us free to play and explore with the movements we just learned and the whole room turned into a spiral experiment.
Simon is genuinely funny, sweet and tremendously energetic. After the practice we all gathered together and he shared his words of wisdom about how he feels one should feel after a yoga practice – warm but not heart beating fast, energized and not hungry. Yoga should feed us.
