7. Longevity, Stress-relief and Epigenetics, a talk with Simon Borg-Olivier

Simon Borg-Olivier shares with us his thoughts about the power that yoga has on our physical and mental wellbeing. And it is not what you might expect.With over 50 years of experience as yoga practitioner and teacher, physiotherapist and biologist, he explains how we can approach the yoga practice with softness in order to reduce the stress on our joints and in our mind, so that we can create a sustainable practice that feels good, and that does good. Simon shares his extensive journey through various disciplines, emphasizing the true essence of yoga as a means of connection rather than mere physical stretching. He discusses the misconceptions surrounding modern yoga, the importance of breath control, and the role of the core in movement. Simon advocates for a paradigm shift in yoga practice, encouraging practitioners to focus on awareness and relaxation to enhance their overall well-being. The conversation delves into the science of yoga, including epigenetics, and highlights the transformative power of yoga in fostering a healthy mind-body connection. Simon also shares insights on his upcoming workshops, inviting listeners to explore the depths of yoga with him.Simon provides a kind of information so detailed that you can not find anywhere else, all in the same place. Many of the principles he shares in this episodes are opposite to what we are taught about training and exercise, like train hard, no pain-no gain, survival of the fittest. I am confident this episode will provide much food for thoughts! To practice with Simon Borg-Olivier in Stockholm in June visit:https://www.mielestrega.com/service-page/simon-borg-olivier-trainings-stockholm-1To learn about Simon Bor-Olivier's offerings go to: https://simonborgolivier.com/To connect with Simon on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/simonborgolivier?igsh=MXhjZWhkeHhqYnR5Mg==To connect with Arianna on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mielestrega?utm_source=qr&igsh=MWt0amxpbHJmMXZ1Mg==Support the showTo connect with Arianna Montanari on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mielestrega/?hl=enTo her website for online yoga synergy programmes and mielestrega body products:https://www.mielestrega.com/
