20h Teacher Training Intensive with Simon Park
May 23-24, 2026
Join Simon Park for a 2-day TT intensive
Vinyasa Flow Yoga has a wonderful potential to be complete practice. Energizing and therapeutic for the body/mind and a wonderful platform for creative expression.
In this 2-day intensive, Simon will guide you through dynamic yet mindful Vinyasa Flow Yoga practices. Each day begins with a progressive practice full of creative namaskars, fluid transitions, inversions, arm balances, and backbends, leading to peak postures of interesting complexity.
In additional sessions, you will be guided in the art of “seeing” as a teacher; how to read bodies and what instruction and hands on assists we can offer to make the practice of our students more grounded and effortless. You will develop a thorough understanding of the dynamic actions required to make each pose vibrantly alive.
Through intensive practice, visual assessment, and hand on assists, we will explore the principles that build the bridge from a foundational to advanced practice. How do we engage students and inspire them? We learn to teach from the place of knowledge, creativity and experience.
Finally, we will explore linking the physical practice with the spiritual / inner journey of our students in a way that is accessible to a modern audience. Creating space for self exploration is perhaps one of the difficult and suble aspects of teaching yoga. Yet, it may be the most most important; allowing students to pass from a purely physical space toward self inquiry and growth.
Become dedicated to moving away from scripted teaching toward creative artistry… the process of becoming absolutely present with your students.

About Simon Simon began his Yoga journey in 1995 with Shiva Rea in the World Arts and Cultures Department at UCLA. Soon thereafter, he became immersed in the great atmosphere of the original YogaWorks studios in Santa Monica where he completed his first teacher training with Maty Ezraty in 1998. Simon moved back to the East Coast (Philadelphia and New York) and studied intensively with senior Iyengar Teacher Joan White and the legendary yogi Dharma Mittra. Yoga Journal acclaimed Simon as, "one of the most influential and gifted Yoga teachers of the next generation.” His unique style is an alchemical fusion of the teachings of Shiva Rea, Richard Freeman, Maty Ezraty, Joan White, and Dharma Mitra. Liquid Flow Yoga is a mix of classical and modern Yoga.. the practice is fluid, intuitive, and encourages freedom through self expression.
