SYNERGY FLOW YOGA
Synergy Flow Yoga is a vinyasa-based Yoga Teacher Training that blends aspects of multiple lineages including Ghosh; Dharma Mittra; and Iyengar with classical hatha, and circular/functional movement practice. Additionally, Synergy Flow Yoga includes foundational pranayama practice; sun salutations; standing sequences; balancing postures; backbends and inversions. Emphasis is placed on alignment principles, fluidity of movement, conscious breathing and enjoying the process.
Our philosophy is that every budding and experienced teacher has a unique voice, style and approach to their practice. Synergy fosters creative expression and exploration while instilling foundational principles of yoga. The training will prepare students to confidently teach vinyasa yoga; cover the fundamentals of yoga history and philosophy; explore applied anatomy and physiology through the practice of Thai Yoga Bodywork; and create a space for personal growth.
