Simona's professional background is in Psychology and she has also studied Classical ballet. Subsequent studies in Dance Movement Therapy increased her awareness of how inextricably the mind, body and inner spirit are linked. She initially trained as a Sivananda Yoga teacher in 1998, however, her love of yoga drew her to other styles of yoga including Iyenga, Ashtanga vinyasa and Vinyasa Flow. Over the last 4 years she has had the privilege of studying with Bridget Woods-Kramer and John Friend as an Anusara teacher and has gained Anusara Inspired Status. Simona has been practising yoga for 12 years and teaching yoga for 10 and has continued her yoga training and teaching while living in Sydney and the UK. She teaches at Yoga Bodhi, a dedicated yoga centre in Bath that she also runs. Simona is also responsible for teaching subtle anatomy and children's yoga on The Yoga Academy Teachers Training Course with Simon Low. Simona's classes are both fun and challenging and encourage playful exploration of both the spiritual and physical aspects of yoga. Simona emphasises in her teaching that we may practise yoga in a group, but that the practice of yoga in itself is a very unique journey.

The more we are disturbed, the more our energy is scattered. Disturbances in our energy can originate from or affect any level of our existence, and for many reasons we may not see them or we may choose to ignore them. If we do see, then we only observe their affect and often don’t know what to do; perhaps we cannot direct our energy because there something inside that is stopping us. One interesting definition of ‘yogi’ is ‘one whose energy is within the body’. Here we see energy is an expression of something more than just the body and we use the practices of the tools of yoga to bring the maximum of energy inside so we can live our lives to the fullest rather than dissipating our energy at every opportunity.


Structure of sessions
These two short workshops will be signposts clearly pointing in a direction most often surrounded by metaphor in teachings. The ability to contain and direct energy only becomes apparent when guided through experiences and then with continued practice. Many of us have know the tools of yoga and practice them regularly, each of them has purpose and reason associated with energy.

In the morning we will lay a foundation beginning physically and then the session will continue to be broken into further practice, workshop, question and answer. All done with careful guidance to ensure that there is opportunity to comprehend the direction being presented and their function in managing energy.

The afternoon will build on the work we do in the morning incorporating a number of yoga-s more subtle tools.

Mohini has travelled both the external world and her internal world. In an ever-evolving teaching methodology, stemmed deeply in personal experiential practice, join her for this one- day personal exploration workshop.
Feel the pulse and invitation to move inside, yielding to the element of water, feminine or Ying aspect of the practice. With meditative or focussed awareness, expressed wilfully and externally through the fire, masculine or Yang aspect of the practice. Experience the magnetic attraction and synthesis.

Mohini draws on her experience of Vipassana and Metta meditation practices, Patanjali’s Eightfold Path of Yoga and the unique expression of personal energy or Shakti. The day offers an opportunity for still and fluid physical expression, deep relaxation and the potential of profound insight and intuitive wisdom. Her teachers include Erich Schiffmann, Clive Sheridan, Sarah Powers, John Ding and Burgs.

The morning will be active Yang practice, the afternoon Yin passively active, culminating in the merger of both Yin and Yang. Meditation, Relaxation and Sound will be offered to frame our experiences of both polarities, in the unique merging expression of a ‘Yogaflow™’.

Mohini, a BWY Diploma holder, has a background in theatre and performing arts and is the author of the book, ‘Yogaflows’.
