What Others Say

Advanced Yoga Fundamentals: Essentials for teaching Yoga

Aniko Kiss

I just finished an online course with you. Your course were more than just a plus knowledge to me: I started it when I did the chemotheraphy, followed by the radiotheraphy and so on. It helped me to get back to the life, to find the most important things, to love the life deeper than ever. I can not say enough thank you to you all!

Saeko Ginestet

Simon and Bianca, Thank you so very much for your quality program. I feel like I know you since I saw you everyday for the last 7 weeks! I would say that going through the entire course was not easy by any means. You made me reexamine what I thought I knew all over again. Your lectures were clear, kind, and helpful. I so trust your expertise, experiences, and heart-felt devotion to the Way of Yoga. I will definitely return and take more of your fascinating classes you are offering.

Applied Anatomy & Physiology of Yoga

Penny Caputi

I can not recommend this course highly enough. This course has been a wealth of information. I can now confidently guide my students through their practice, offering modifications for ailments and safely extending them in area’s their body allows. I have learnt how to understand the asana’s on an anatomical & physiological level and am enjoying the journey of embodying the asanas. Through this course I’ve become more confident and relaxed in my role as a teacher of yoga. Which had been a wonderful gift for my students. If your thinking of taking this course, absolutely jump in!!! It’s invaluable. Thank you Simon and Bianca Warm regards Penny

David Cunningham

I’ve been studying with Simon & Bianca in person and online since 2011. I have done all their online courses and participated in many of their workshops. Before that, I’d been trained as an Ashtanga teacher and suffered several self inflicted injuries. It was only when Yoga Synergies teachings started to sink in that I realized how little I know about the human body, and that yoga can make conditions worse if you apply it unintelligently. Simon is a biologist, physiotherapist and yoga teacher and his knowledge about the human anatomy and physiology, and his insight about how traditional yoga and modern western physiotherapy can be brought together is so unique and profound that I have retrained with him as a Yoga Synergy teacher and I also taught 25 Yoga teachers how to teach with respect and understanding of the Yoga Synergy style. This Yoga Therapy course is one of the most helpful courses I have ever done in Yoga and it informed not only myself but also my students and teacher trainees to a level where I am confident that our teachings will be safe effective and importantly promote a confidence in both the teachers and the students to promote health in addition to managing pain and conditions that present in class. I insist that all teachers at our studios have completed the Yoga Synergy online courses and actively encourage anyone with a strong interest in Yoga to take this course.
