A Weekend Masterclass & Workshop Series with Simon Park

In the organizer's words:

We are delighted that Simon is coming to YOGA LOFT again this year! You can look forward to a wonderful, inspiring guest teacher who has been teaching trainings, workshops and retreats worldwide for over 20 years.

He began his yoga journey in the mid-1990s with Shiva Rea (Prana Flow Yoga) and Maty Ezraty at Yoga Works in Santa Monica, California. For several years he has created his own signature style of "Liquid Flow Yoga" that seamlessly blends the timeless essence of classical yoga with modern elements.

The weekend with Simon will be full of creative yoga sequences, fantastic hands on assists, elements of Zenthai Shiatsu and Qi-Gong and will give you a deeper understanding of your physical and energetic body.

Simon teaches in English. But very clear and understandable, so you can also participate with less good English skills <3

Building on this foundation, we advance into a slow, fluid Vinyasa flow-emphasizing breath, alignment, and internal rhythm. Moving in harmony with your energy, you'll deepen your capacity for subtle movement, cultivating strength and flexibility with gentle, deliberate effort.Finally, we settle into a series of long-held Yin poses-targeting the connective tissues, fascia, and joints-inviting deep release, patience, and internal reflection. This restorative phase nurtures your nervous system, promotes emotional balance, and encourages profound internal spaciousness.

Throughout the workshop, you'll explore how to harness your internal energy, balance movement with stillness, and develop a more integrated, vibrant relationship with your body and mind. Perfect for all levels, this practice supports a harmonious flow of vitality, calmness, and self-discovery.
