Yoga Synergy with Natasha - Fridays 10am

Please note these classes are temporarily unavailable for booking

​My Yoga Synergy classes are strong but gentle, resonating with the Sanskrit term “sthira sukham asanam” (be firm but calm). I will guide you to establish fluidity and ease in movements, while developing strength, stability and a steady mind. The class incorporates a series of spinal movements to mobilise the spine, enhance blood flow and regulate the nervous system. Through regular practice you will learn to move the body consciously, one joint at a time by connecting to your centre, whereby all movements initiate from the navel spine (the core). Approaching your practice with Ahimsa (non-violence, moving with compassion and loving kindness) by honouring your own boundaries and not forcing beyond the limitations of the body, can be reflected off the mat in your daily lives.

I encourage students to find comfort in asanas by adjusting the yoga practice to suit your body rather than manipulating your body to fit the posture. Therefore, the class is for all bodies. Without attaching to the outcomes of your practice and allowing your body to move freely and naturally, whilst connecting to the natural rhythm of your breath (diaphragmatic breathing), the class should leave you feeling a sense of Santosha (complete contentment and satisfaction with where you are in the present moment).

​“Breathe less, tense less, stretch less, think less” - Simon Borg Olivier
Yoga Synergy is an approach to yoga, developed in 1984 by experienced yoga practitioners and physiotherapists, Simon Borg Oliver and Bianca Machliss. This unique style is suitable for every body, using various techniques and methodologies drawn from Tai Chi, modern medical science and Hatha Yoga to help the “modern” day body access traditional yoga postures. The aim of Yoga Synergy is to teach the ancient art of yoga in a safe, active and intelligent manner rooted in a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology.
