https://www.rawpoweryoga.com.au/raw-power-yoga-brisbane-teacher-training/ Simon Kerle — From Professional Athlete to Mindful Leader

Simon Kerle’s story is one of transformation — from elite professional athlete to one of

Australia’s most respected yoga educators and studio owners. A professional basketball player for 18 years, Simon’s career took him around the world — including a scholarship to the University of Nebraska and a professional contract in Sicily, Italy, where he played for Messina. Known for his precision, leadership, and relentless work ethic, Simon competed at the highest levels of the game, representing teams like the Brisbane Bullets and working alongside world-class athletes across the NBL, Australian Rugby League, Brisbane Broncos, Brisbane Lions, English Cricket Team, Brisbane Heat Women’s Team, and even Australian Ballet dancers. That realisation led him to yoga — and ultimately to founding Raw Power Yoga, Brisbane’s #1 yoga studio and home to Queensland’s most successful Yoga Teacher Training program. Over the past decade, Simon has helped thousands of students transform their lives through yoga — from professional athletes and defence force personnel to everyday people seeking clarity, connection, and change. His signature 250-Hour Yoga Teacher Training is a deep, life-changing journey — not just for those who want to teach yoga, but for anyone seeking purpose, confidence, and personal growth. It covers anatomy, philosophy, history, sequencing, alignment, yoga for trauma, personal development, and finding your authentic voice. At Raw Power Yoga, the results speak for themselves:

Over 65% of graduates go on to teach yoga (compared to less than 5% industry-wide)

The program has sold out 10 years in a row

The studio has been voted Brisbane’s Best Yoga Studio

Simon and his team even train members of the Australian Defence Force to become certified yoga teachers

Students describe the experience as the moment they stopped just existing — and started truly living. They gain more than a qualification; they gain clarity, confidence, and a community that lasts a lifetime.

“Yoga gave me more than strength — it gave me peace, purpose, and freedom. Now, it’s my mission to share that with others.” — Simon Kerle

If you’re craving purpose, connection, and growth, or if you’re ready to create a life doing what you love, this is your moment. Beyond the Mat: A Community Like No Other At its core, Raw Power Yoga is more than a studio—it’s a community. The shared energy of its members fosters connection and belonging, creating a supportive environment where individuals can embrace their potential, free from judgment or comparison. Raw Power Yoga offers not just physical transformation, but a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and empowerment. Whether you’re here to strengthen your body, calm your mind, or explore the deeper philosophies of yoga, this studio delivers an experience that is nothing short of transformative. But Simon’s vision doesn’t stop with professional athletes. He is also the founder of Yoga Bears Kids Yoga, now the largest kids’ yoga program in Australia, operating in over 120 early learning centres nationwide. Playful, creative, and grounded in emotional regulation, Yoga Bears has been featured on Channel 7’s House of Wellness and is helping raise the next generation of calm, confident, and connected children. At the heart of Simon’s work is education. Experience Raw Power Yoga Discover why Raw Power Yoga has become the gold standard in power yoga.

Your Left Nostril Knows Something

COULD BREATHING THROUGH ONE NOSTRIL HELP YOU SLEEP BETTER?

Left nostril breathing has been studied for its potential effect on sleep. In one trial, four weeks of practice was associated with improvements across several measures of sleep quality.

Other research suggests it may encourage greater parasympathetic activity, helping your body shift toward rest and recovery.

The research is still developing, and this is not a cure for insomnia. But it is a simple technique worth testing tonight.

Before bed:

Gently close your right nostril.

Breathe slowly through your left nostril.

Keep each breath soft, relaxed and controlled.

Continue for a few minutes and notice how your body responds.

Sometimes better sleep is not about adding something new. It may be about changing the way you do something thousands of times every day.

Most people think cortisol is something they need to lower

But first thing in the morning you actually want it to rise

Your body naturally produces a surge of cortisol after waking

Research suggests this cortisol awakening response helps prepare your body and brain for the demands of the day

So what does morning yoga do

The goal isnt to switch cortisol off

Research suggests yoga may help influence the systems involved in your stress response and how your body responds to stress

Think of it less like lowering cortisol

And more like helping your body get better at switching on when you need it and settling back down when you dont

Because cortisol isnt the enemy

Its part of a healthy functioning body

Morning yoga gives you movement controlled breathing and focus before the demands of the day begin

Come start your morning differently at Raw Power Yoga

🔥 THE SOLD OUT WORKSHOP IS BACK.

ARM BALANCING 2.0 WITH DUSTIN BROWN

After an incredible response to his first workshop, Dustin is back with an entirely new session featuring new arm balances, new progressions and fresh techniques designed to make these skills finally click.

Think arm balances are all about strength and flexibility?

They’re not.

You don’t need to be the strongest person in the room.

You don’t need extreme flexibility.

And you definitely don’t need years of experience.

What you need is the right technique, the right progressions and a teacher who knows how to break complex movements down so they actually make sense.

That’s where Dustin is exceptional.

A former professional surfer, 3rd Degree Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Apple TV yoga teacher and one of Australia’s leading movement educators, Dustin has helped hundreds of students achieve arm balances and inversions they once thought were out of reach.

Whether you’re working towards your first Crow Pose or refining more advanced arm balances and handstands, you’ll leave with practical techniques, clear progressions and exactly what you need to work on next.

🔥 Beginners to advanced
🔥 New skills and progressions
🔥 Practical techniques you can continue using after the workshop
🔥 Everyone welcome

The person who always seems to practise beside you

The familiar faces you see every week

The feeling of walking into a room where people know your name

These might be doing more for you than you realise

Because yoga isn’t only about what happens to your body

It’s also about connection

And that matters

Research suggests strong social connection can support better physical and mental health while loneliness and social isolation are linked with poorer health outcomes

So maybe one of the most powerful parts of your yoga practice isn’t the pose you’re working on

It’s the people practising beside you

Strength matters

Flexibility matters

Balance matters

But so does belonging

YOUR CHAIR IS LYING TO YOU

Sitting changes your breathing here’s how to fix it.

It can change the way you breathe

Spend hours sitting especially slumped forward and your rib cage has less freedom to expand

Your abdomen can become compressed

Your diaphragm has less room to move effectively

And your breathing can become more upper chest dominant

Your diaphragm isnt just a breathing muscle

It works alongside your abdominal muscles and pelvic floor and plays a role in managing pressure and stabilising your trunk

So the answer isnt trying to hold perfect posture for eight hours

Its movement

Stand up

Move your spine

Open your rib cage

Take slow controlled diaphragmatic breaths

Give your body regular opportunities to move and breathe differently

Thats exactly what we work on at Raw Power Yoga

If youve been feeling tight stiff or just off come try a class this week

WHEN YOUR LEGS START SHAKING

The hardest part of a yoga pose isnt always physical

Its what happens when your body starts working and your mind wants out

Your legs shake

The position gets uncomfortable

Your attention starts looking for an escape

And now youre training more than muscle

Yoga asks you to stay focused on your breath your body and the position while managing discomfort and maintaining control

That skill matters far beyond the mat

Strength isnt only about how much discomfort you can handle

Its about how well you can stay composed inside it

When your muscles are working and your mind is telling you to stop

Can you stay present

Can you control your breathing

Can you stay focused

Can you remain calm under pressure

Thats where yoga becomes more than a physical practice

If you want to build that kind of strength and control come train with us at Raw Power Yoga

Power yoga builds strength, not just flexibility.

Menopause changes the rules

And the type of yoga you practise matters

Strong dynamic power yoga isnt just stretching

Youre supporting your own bodyweight

Holding challenging positions

Asking your muscles to produce force

That can help build strength and balance while giving your bones valuable weight bearing stimulus

And if the words power yoga make you think youre not fit enough

You are

Our classes are built for complete beginners through to advanced

You work at your level

Rest whenever you need

And build from there

Menopause isnt the time to just stay flexible

Its the time to invest in strength

Strong bones

Balance

And a body that stays capable for decades

YOUR BREATH AND HIPS ARE CONNECTED

Your hips and your breathing are more connected than you think

Your diaphragm and psoas both have attachments around your lumbar spine and connective tissue relationships through this region

That means breathing posture hip movement and trunk stability dont operate in isolation

Every breath changes pressure through your trunk while your psoas helps control your hip and influences movement around your pelvis and lower back

It doesnt mean every tight hip is a breathing problem

It means your body works as a connected system

Move your hips

Move your spine

Train your breath

And stop treating every part of your body like it works alone
