Are you working out — or working in?In this deeply enriching conversation, Harmony Slater sits down with Simon Borg-Olivier — co-founder of Yoga Synergy, physiotherapist, researcher, and one of the most original minds in the world of movement. Simon has been exploring yoga, breath, and consciousness for over 50 years, and his answer to almost every question is the same: find the ease. Simon's philosophy challenges the deeply held assumption that more effort equals more benefit. He makes a crucial distinction between the workout (which leaves you depleted, hungry, and stiff) and the work-in (which leaves you energized, calm, and clear). His approach blends biomechanics, nervous system science, and ancient wisdom traditions — and at age 66, his biological age tested at 48. In this episode, you'll discover:Why strength without tension, and flexibility without strain, are the real goals of practiceThe 'work-in vs. workout' distinction — and how it changes everythingThe 12 hidden 'bridges' between the conscious and unconscious nervous systemWhy the diaphragm — not the breath — is the true link between mind and bodySimon's concept of the gut brain and its connection to ancient traditions (Dan Tian, Tanden, Kanda)What 'airplane yoga' means — and why it's the philosophy behind his teachingHis extraordinary life story: from a Tibetan lama in Sydney to machete wounds in GoaWhy Iyengar told him 'most people need 90% bhoga' — and what that means for your practiceHow to become a chef in your practice, not just a student following recipesWhere to find Simon's free membership site and global retreats CONNECT WITH SIMON BORG-OLIVIER:Website: simonborgolivier.com Membership & courses: healthhappinesslongevity.co UPCOMING EVENTS:Harmony teaches at Agora Yoga, Lisbon (end of June) and Faro, Portugal (early July).
