About Me
I'M SIMON KERLE.
For over a decade, I have worked closely with Australian Special Forces operators and Australian Defence Force personnel, training breathwork, movement, recovery, and performance under pressure.
These are people whose lives can depend on their ability to perform when everything is on the line.
But my work in human performance did not start in a classroom.
It started on a basketball court.
I spent more than 20 years as a professional basketball player, competing at the highest levels in Australia and internationally.
Elite sport taught me about pressure.
Recovery. Resilience.
And what it takes to perform when your body and mind are being pushed to their limits.
But it also showed me something that almost every athlete, high performer, and everyday person leaves completely untrained.
Their breathing.
Today, I am a certified Advanced Oxygen Advantage® Instructor, breathwork specialist, qualified personal trainer, and yoga educator.
My focus is the science of breathing and how optimising the way you breathe can transform oxygen delivery, recovery, sleep, stress tolerance, focus, endurance, and human performance.
I have had the privilege of working with some of Australia's most elite sporting organisations and athletes, including the Brisbane Broncos, Brisbane Lions, Brisbane Bullets, Queensland Firebirds, Australian Rugby League representatives, Brisbane Heat, and Australian Ballet performers.
I am also the founder of Raw Power Yoga, voted Brisbane's Number 1 Yoga Studio, and Yoga Bears Kids Yoga, Australia's Number 1 kids yoga program.
Everything I teach today is built on one truth I learned the hard way across more than two decades of professional sport.
You cannot perform at your ceiling until you train your breathing.
