Inclusive yoga, which benefits spinal mobility & inner health even from first beginner session

• Meditative movement
• Joints & muscle benefit with low risk
• Slow down
• Improve mental health
• Circulate good energy through the body

In other styles of yoga this is not guaranteed.

This style offers a way to feel great on your body that doesn’t depend on experience or conditioning. The practice is all there for you from your first session.

Moving the lower spine before getting into poses is a vitally missed aspect of yogic movement in our world today.

Trainings are undertaken before the teacher truly understands body mechanics and energies of the body.

Ask a mainstream teacher what they’re asking people to do with their nerves, blood vessels and joint structures when they tell people what poses “should be” and they will likely give a fraction of the answer, you’re left to fend for yourself in these classes. Half the students will miss the main health benefits and not return. An astonishingly high amount of people SPEND energy in their practice rather than BUILD it.

traditional yoga postures adapted for the modern body with sits a lot

Centred on simple spinal movements and bears a passing resemblance to qigong, a moving meditation while supporting muscles and joints for any body

This style is called Yoga Synergy and has amazed Stef by the dramatic changes it’s highlighted in his yoga practice in 2018 after having formerly concentrated on Hot Barkan Hatha yoga & Ashtanga for 12 years prior. It is described as classical yoga adapted for the modern body and picks up where a lot of yoga leaves off, giving a clear awareness of progression and much reduced risk of injury and even discomfort in life.

Mats provided, wear or stretchy clothing that can move, inform beforehand of any injuries/conditions and enjoy!

With this style you can get flexible without stretching, strong without feeling tense, and it also is massively effective to bring about a state of calm reducing impulsive tendencies. This style is more consciously embedded in maintaining a relaxed nervous system whilst performing highly effective physical exercise and gleaning benefits for the immune and reproductive systems. You will certainly leave these classes feeling more energised than ever before.

Stef hosts workshops and trains new teachers for Yoga Alliance courses and has studied for over 1000 hours with leading senior yoga teachers such as Yoga Synergy coFounder and Director, Simon Borg Olivier MScBAppSc(Physiotherapy), Lesley Kaminoff (author of best selling Yoga Anatomy). The originators of the synergy method retrained in exercise based physiotherapy to ensure beneficial and therapeutic approach to movement and posture.

Stef also had the privilege of learning directly from Master Yang Zhuen Hua who strongly influenced the synergy style from his ancient lineage of Shaolin NeiGong.
