Everyone welcome, from complete beginner to advanced students – the Yoga Synergy method caters for everyone. The Vinyasa class is our Level 1 class and the best one to start with for your first Yoga Synergy class.
In the Yoga Synergy method, each posture is taught with simple through to complex versions, enabling you to vary the intensity of your practice. We encourage you to practice responsively and to be in the present moment, choosing which version of the posture is appropriate to you on the day – this can change from day to day.

Emphasis is on balancing strength and flexibility, relaxation, correct breathing and flow, to increase your confidence and zap stress!

YS-Vinyasa class follows the Yoga Synergy progressive 9 week program. In this program we focus on one of the 5 Yoga Synergy sequences (Earth, Water, Fire, Air & Ether) designed by physiotherapists and experienced yoga practitioners Simon Borg Olivier & Bianca Machliss.

It doesn’t matter what part of the 9 weeks you join in. Each week focusses on different aspects of the practice: alignment, anatomical safety, flow and adjustment by our experienced teachers, culminating in a dynamic, flowing, meditative practice that is signature to the Yoga Synergy method.

These classes are great for cultivating your own practice and understanding of yoga. They are safe, fun and give you a cardiovascular workout. At the same time, use of balancing  pranayama (breathing) and meditation, means you are able to go deeper into postures, and reconnect to your true essential nature.

Suitable for: Anyone and everyone – no experience required but advanced  practitioners will have a good practice. We recommend if you have never tried Yoga Synergy method  to start with these classes.

Duration: 60, 75 & 90 minutes. Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to start time.

Take your practice to the next level! Learn a more challenging series of postures and advance your practice in an energising group environment.

YS-Dynamic is our Yoga Synergy Level 2 class. We recommend you start with a Vinyasa (Level 1) class for your first class with us.

We also recommend committing to coming to at least one YS-Dynamic class per week to fully benefit from the progressive nature of the Yoga Synergy method. However, being in a more advanced class is not about doing more fancy postures. Anyone is welcome as long as you are able to leave your ego at the door and do simpler versions of postures when its appropriate for you.

Over our 9 week program you will learn with a group of committed yogi’s and progress towards an uplifting flowing practice to music in the final class.

So that you get the maximum benefit from these classes, we recommend that you also come along to the YS-Flow classes, which follow the YS-Dynamic class sequence weekly – its a chance to put into practice what you learnt in the YS-Dynamic class and experience your own yoga practice in an energising group environment.

Morning classes: The birds are singing, the sun is rising…..the best time to do yoga and begin to develop a regular and committed practice.

Suitable for: Students with some experience of Yoga Synergy method, or those who are able to leave their ego at the door

Duration: 1.25h, 1.5h, please arrive 10-15 minutes before start time.

Join a fun and dynamic flow through practice to music mixed  specifically to enhance your practice and awaken a sense of joy within. These classes follow the YS-Dynamic class practice of that week in silence to music. Our experienced teachers indicate when to change postures with a simple click (and if needed some minimal verbal guidance), so it’s a good idea if you’ve tried some of the YS-Vinyasa or YS-Dynamic classes before coming along – but if you haven’t that’s fine, all you need is a fun and playful attitude.

1 hour YS-Flow classes will have simple instruction so they’re a great way to start ‘going with the flow’.

Suitable for: Practitioners who enjoy dynamic group energy, amazing music (from traditional to funky) and want the opportunity to have a meditative blissful yoga experience.

 

Duration: 60, 75 & 90 minutes. Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to start time.
