Synergy

Description

Yoga Synergy was established in Newtown in 1984, in Bondi Junction in 1997, and in Manly in 2002. This dynamic style of Hatha Yoga, devised by the directors,Simon Borg-OlivierMSc BAppSc (Physiotherapy) MAPA &Bianca MachlissBSc BAppSc (Physiotherapy) MAPA, represents a synthesis between Ashtanga Yoga, Iyengar Yoga and modern medical science. The Hatha Yoga taught at Yoga Synergy is derived from the work of Professor T. Krishnamacharya. Sri Krishnamacharya, who died in 1989 at the age of 101, was the teacher of three of the most influential yoga masters alive today. These yoga masters are Sri B.K.S. Iyengar (author of “Light on Yoga”); Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who teaches Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and, Sri T.K.V. Desikachar (author of “The Heart of Yoga”). Yoga Synergy style of yoga is a Vinyasa flow-style meditative practice, linking postures with the breath while maintaining an awareness of anatomical and physiological alignment, and allowing students to progress with guidance at their own pace. Every 9 weeks a new sequence of yoga postures and exercises are presented and taught in the Synergy style Open classes and pre-booked courses. Design of these sequences takes into consideration the time of the year, the level of the group being taught, and that each posture must have a simple version and full or hard version that the practitioner can choose to attempt with the level of intensity that practitioner desires.A sequence sheet of the postures in each sequence is available to assist students in their own practice. By regularly attending Synergy Style Yoga Classes, the student is able to learn a yoga sequence enough to do self-practice and yet still be stimulated every 9 weeks by a new set of postures and exercises. Yoga Synergy is a team of professional teachers, trained personally by Bianca and Simon, with years of experience teaching the Synergy style of yoga.
