Simon Low

After a career in the music industry based out of London and New York, Simon undertook to train as yoga teacher 25 years ago with the renowned yoga teacher and author Larry Payne at Samata International in Los Angeles, California. These studies were augmented by Simon’s training in macrobiotics, and psycho-spiritual . Simon’s foundational teachings are informed by the teachings of Sri T Krishnamacharya and his primary students. Simon’s current teachings reflect his continued training and on-going studies with international teachers in many forms of Hatha and Classical yoga, TCM, Chi Kung, ancient and contemporary health-promoting methodologies, centered-movement, and physiotherapy. Simon has also studied in A.H. Almaas’ Ridhwan School, but his primary teacher lives within himself, a relationship he continues to cultivate with the help and guidance of his current teachers and practice. He inspires others to cultivate the same relationship within themselves and their own yoga practices. Following many years of teaching in the UK, Simon co-founded Triyoga in London, where he was Director of Yoga until 2003, since which time he has concentrated on teacher training at The Yoga Academy and on leading study immersions, workshops and rejuvenating yoga retreats around the world. Over the years, Simon has developed a unique and personal teaching style and now practices and teaches a harmonious combination of Yin and Yang Yoga. Not a set system but a balanced approach that can inform and enrich all styles of yoga, and Yang Yoga offers fresh vitality to yoga practice, kindness and respect to the human form, transformative breathing practices, and for the mind – the space for peace and tranquillity. In 2007, Simon released his now very popular DVD “Yin and Yang Yoga” and in April 2015 the brand new Yin Yoga App for iPhone. Since 2008, Simon has been one of the patrons of the Hope Foundation, a UK and Ireland based charity working to improve the plight and prospects of the street and slum children of Kolkata, offering them homes, protection, health care and education.
