What Others Say

Advanced Yoga Fundamentals: Essentials for teaching Yoga

I thoroughly enjoyed learning the importance of moving safely in and out of postures. Watching and practicing the videos has taught me so much about teaching with confidence and care. Thanks to Simon and Bianca for giving so generously of their knowledge and time.

Yoga Synergy’s Advanced Yoga Fundamentals effectively presents the who, what, where, when, why and how of Yoga. Through reading the course material, participating in the lectures, and putting it all into practice I have learned: WHO can safely perform a pose (with modifications, precautions, and contraindications) WHAT each pose entails including internal actions usually undetected visually WHERE to focus activity… continue reading continue reading

Applied Anatomy & Physiology of Yoga

The course of Anatomy and Physiology was just tremendously helpful. Over the time of my yoga practice I had many questions and to my surprise and joy I found many answers in the course. I can’t express the happy feeling when a guess suddenly has an explanation and confirmation, and a little hint (and there were plenty) promotes you to… continue reading

One of the most complete and well explained yoga courses I’ve attended. I’m so grateful for all the information offered. I learned in one course more than I learned in two teacher training done before. I could not recommend this course well enough.

Question?

Q. "I am a yoga teacher of around 5 years and have been teaching regularly over this period and also have a daily Ashtanga practice. Which course is best for me"?

A. We do find all teachers, even those with many years experience benefit greatly and learn a lot from the Advanced Yoga Fundamentals course. Bianca and Simons approach to Asana is very different and incredibly intelligent and can be used in all styles of Yoga. Most people also find they get a lot more out of the Applied Anatomy course once they have a deeper understanding of the YogaSynergy method.
