Underwater Yoga by Simon Borg-Olivier and How it Can Help Your Yoga on Land

In this 6 minute video Simon Borg-Olivier demonstrates a flowing, beginner to intermediate version of the Yoga Synergy 'Yoga Fundamentals' Sequence Introduction. The sequence is first shown holding the breath out while under the water. The sequence is first shown holding the breath out (exhalation retention) while under the water. Then at the 2 min 58 seconds time index he demonstrates a similar sequence more accessibly on land.

Doing the practice underwater first teaches the following things:
1. How to use my 'inner body' to move and enter postures rather than relying on gravity or momentum.

2. How to flow smoothly between postures in curves rather than jagged edges in order to gather energy with each movement rather than just expend energy.

3. How to move in and out of postures while holding your breath in or out.

Apart from the initial underwater segments and except for the handstand at the end the land based spinal sequence is quite accessible for most people. This is especially so if you do not try to lift one leg off the floor (but only come to the toe tips), if you bend your knees when touching the floor and you move one step at a time. It is an excellent sequence to promote energy, remove stress, relieve back pain, and improve strength, flexibility and fitness. It is also a very good preparation or warm up for any yoga practice or other exercise system.

In the land version of this sequence Simon is following a specific breath-control (pranayama) sequence, but for the beginner the best breathing is simply your own natural breath.

This sequence forms the basis of the award winning online course 'Teacher Training Essentials: Yoga Fundamentals' ( http://fundamentals.yogasynergy.com) as well as the live 200 hour 'Yoga Synergy Teacher Training' Courses ( http://yogasynergy.com/main/level-1-t...).

The Yoga Synergy System is based on a synthesis of the Traditional Eastern wisdom and modern medical science. It is a comprehensive yoga practice for all levels that is based on 30 years of research, 45 years of personal and teaching as well as a deep understanding of practical applied anatomy and physiology of yoga. This practice utilizes very simple yet effective techniques that are often missed by normal people in modern yoga yet are used by natural people in traditional yoga. These techniques include active movements, internal muscle locks, nerve reflexes, nerve tensioning (lengthening), specialized breath-control and internal circulatory pumping devices.

This intelligent practice can give you flexibility without painful stretching, strength without feeling tense, increased energy to do more things while not needing to have to significantly increase heart rate or breathing, and intelligence into your cells without having to over think.

Simon is a well known physiotherapist who has been practicing yoga for 45 years. He is also the co-director of YogaSynergy, one of Australia's oldest and most respected yoga schools, and teaches a style based on a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology and traditional hatha yoga. Simon has been invited to teach yoga and therapy workshops all around the world since 1990.

The 'Yoga Synergy System', developed by physiotherapists and yoga teachers Bianca Machliss and Simon Borg-Olivier can be applied to all yoga and exercise styles.
