Eriko Watanabe

Eriko has a full-time corporate job and her yoga practice helps keep her busy life balanced. She has completed Yoga Synergy Teacher Training in Goa, India and numerous workshops with Simon Borg-Olivier, along with ongoing apprentice training with Bianca Machliss. Outside of work and yoga, she loves getting out into nature and breathing in the ocean’s salty air.

“I became a yoga teacher because I wanted to share the excitement of discovering yoga as I genuinely believe in the benefits, knowledge and joy it’s given me.”

I became interested in yoga shortly after I arrived in Australia in 2004 as a form of exercise, only to quickly realise that yoga is something much greater, and this has deeply resonated with me since.

I became a yoga teacher because I know that yoga will always be in my life in some shape or form. I wanted to share the excitement of discovering yoga as I genuinely believe in the benefits, knowledge and joy it’s given me.

I decided to join the Yoga Synergy team because I find the method unique, as well as healing and powerful. It resonated with me! I am ever so grateful to Simon and Bianca for making yoga accessible; their style allows me to explore my practice more deeply, yet feel safe at the same time.
