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

We recommend having experience of some Yoga Synergy Vinyasa classes and committing to coming to at least one 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 Dynamic class sequence weekly - its a chance to put into practice what you learnt in the Dynamic class and experience your own yoga practice in an energising group environment.

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

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.

Open class, suitable for all levels

Flow, led ashtanga class.

The literal translation of Vinyasa (a Sanskrit word) is 'to place in a special way'.

In practice, this gives rise to dynamic, flowing, creatively sequenced classes during which emphasis is placed on coordinating movement with breath. Vinyasa classes are challenging, invigorating, and often sweaty.

While students are all encouraged to work to their own level, some yoga experience is recommended prior to attending intermediate level Vinyasa classes.

Project 3 Building

Dynamic movements synced with your breath. Classes tailored and suitable for beginners and the more experienced student. Wake up your body and your day!

A challenging set of Vinyasa Fusion sequences, it samples dynamic and static asanas in an organic flow guided by the breath. Its inspiration springs from the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition intertwined with DMT (Dynamic Movement Therapy), interval training, and Pilates. You will build and consolidate strength, stamina, stability and litheness, re-awaken your body awareness and clarity of mind while exploring progressive postural ranges. You’ll have the opportunity to challenge yourself and experiment with your practice, come out more confident, restored, recharged.

Open to all levels; while more experienced students can go to its deepest depths, beginners will be offered simplified variations of each pose in the flow. However, we recommend attending a Foundation Vinyasa or a Focused Movement class, if this is your first approach to yoga ever.
