Simon Low Yoga Academy Course Director
Simon Low is a registered teacher (RYT 500) with the Yoga Alliance & director of The Yoga Academy.
Simon, founder & director of The Yoga Academy & co-founder of triyoga, in London’s Primrose Hill, has been teaching yoga internationally for 15 years. Simon’s teaching reflects his training and ongoing studies with international teachers in many forms of Hatha and Classical yoga. After originally completing and becoming certified in Teacher Training and Advanced Yoga Therapy with Dr. Larry Payne at Samata International in Los Angeles, California, Simon has developed a unique and personal teaching style. While the classical teachings of Sri T Krishnamacharya and his primary students inform the foundations of Simon’s ‘yin and yang’ style yoga experience, his own teachings are augmented by a keen interest in Okido Yoga, and a wide and varied journey through many other systems and schools of Hatha Yoga, bodywork, psychology and disciplines such as The Alexander Technique, Pilates, and Chi Kung.
While keeping classes and study educational, diverse, focused and fun, Simon encourages the individual to remain mindfully focused toward internal exploration as a guide to experiencing yoga as it is meant to be practiced – a personal journey toward freedom, clarity, centeredness and the revealing and nurturing of the True Self-your Essence.
