With mums and bubs yoga classes, you get to enjoy your yoga time with your little one. There's no need to organise childcare and your child will reap the benefits of the class too.

Tiny tots and crawlers are welcome to these relaxed, or as relaxed as possible, classes, where feeding breaks are the norm and pretty much anything goes.

Lose the baby-weight among friends and get some much-needed relaxation and stress management. Our small, friendly Manly Yoga studio near Freshwater is perfect for you.

During these mums and bubs yoga classes, facilitated by Stacey Clarke, a Baby Bliss Postnatal Specialist, there will be poses for just you and poses that incorporate your baby too.

It's an interesting concept, where calm is found amongst chaos - giving you valuable skills that go beyond yoga and into motherhood!

Our Dynamic Yoga classes are high energy. Each class has a theme and we blend yoga, high intensity training, tai chi, dance and meditation. You will sweat and shed all the stresses from the day. Dynamic is mentally tough, you will start to notice your internal dialogue while under pressure and that’s when you can start to become bolder. Physically, your body will develop more strength, more flexibility and more cardio endurance. Wear exercise clothes and bring a yoga mat or you can borrow ours.

About our yoga
Yoga Synergy offers a practice that is safe for the modern body across all levels of fitness. It’s suitable for those who have not tried yoga before or have injuries, but is also challenging for those more familiar with a regular physical practice such as professional dancers, elite athletes and advanced yoga practitioners. Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether - these 5 dynamic sequences of yoga postures taught in the Yoga Synergy method, have been specially designed by Simon Borg-Olivier and Bianca Machliss, who are both experienced yoga teachers and qualified physiotherapists. Our newly qualified Teacher Trainees (200h Yoga Alliance certificate) start by teaching the basic sequence: Yoga Synergy Fundamentals sequence. The 500h Yoga Synergy Teacher Training certificate enables teachers to teach the 5 Element sequence as taught in Sydney, Australia.

Learn progressively, be responsive
In the Yoga Synergy method, each of the 6 different sequence are taught progressively in all classes over a 9 week period. For example, in the colder months you’ll practice the Fire sequence with its dynamic, energizing postures that will warm your joints and muscles. And every class concludes with meditation exercises to leave you feeling completely calm and relaxed.

All students are encouraged to understand the simple versions of the postures before attempting the more complex versions. When doing regular practice it’s important to respond to your body “in the present moment” and not be attached to where you want to be in the future or where you perhaps were in the past. By working like this, you’ll be able to generate energy, by working in an appropriate manner at all times to create a meditative flow practice.

All 6 sequences can be practiced using this responsive practice philosophy at any time of year in any physical state, to balance your energy.

2014 Sydney sequence dates are as follows: Earth 3 Feb, Water 7 Apr, Fire 9 Jun, Air 11 Aug, Ether 13 Oct.

Develop your own practice
By coming regularly, you’ll have the opportunity to learn each of Yoga Synergy’s five sequences and develop your own practice. That means you’ll be able to practice safely and independently at home. To help you remember the practice, we have many DVD's available, or just come along regularly and you'll soon be on your way to self practice.

The Yoga Synergy style is a technique/philosophy of practice that can be applied to any style of yoga. All yoga practice should be done with the intention to energize the body while calming the mind.

About the 5 elements
The Yoga Synergy sequences were named in honour of the pancha mahabhuta (5 Great Elements) of Hinduism and Aryuveda that are believed to make up all of creation, including the human body - which, upon death, dissolves into these five elements of nature, thereby balancing the cycle of nature set in motion by the creative force of the universe.
