The Inner Axis system

The Inner Axis system is designed specifically to impact the internal and emotional aspects of our lives, as well as physical healing. Simply put, you will already feel better within 10 minutes of practicing Inner Axis, and regular practice will alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and PTS.

Inner Axis is deeply transformative and powerful as it releases repressed emotions from the chest to make way for grace, strength and ease in your practice and in life. It encourages you to slow down, to tune in, to feel and heal yourself in order to accelerate change in your life and in the world.

Inner Axis is not a style of yoga, it is a hybrid of breathing patterns, movement therapy, Qi Gong, select yoga postures, and visualisation and relaxation methodology. In Max’s 25 years of teaching, these simple and accessible techniques have enabled deep transformation and healing for thousands of people; all ages, abilities, and walks of life. This is a practice for life – everyday life – for everyday people to experience extraordinary transformation.
