Yoga Synergy

Yoga Synergy Yoga that is safe, fun, dynamic and for every level! https://yogasynergy.com/newtown-update/ Krishnamacharya. Iyengar (author of Light on Yoga); Sri K.

Established by Bianca Machliss & Simon Borg Olivier in 1984, Yoga Synergy is one of Sydney’s most respected yoga schools. We are conveniently located at 196 Australia St, Newtown and also have classes at Elixr Bondi Junction. By embarking on the path of yoga, one enters a journey to open the heart and clear the mind, to discover our true being, which is the ultimate reality – the transcendental self, the atma or the divine. We are essentially the same humanity as 5000 years ago, so the insights that were discovered then, in the name of yoga are still valid today. Yoga as the union of body mind and spirit leads one to freedom, compassion and harmony. Our aim at Yoga Synergy is to teach the ancient art of yoga in a safe, fun and intelligent way. We teach students to practice responsively (not automatically) so that each practice fulfils the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs of the individual practitioner, enhancing life force, energy and vitality. What we do
At Yoga Synergy, you will learn yoga that’s based on a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology, modern medical science and traditional Hatha yoga. The style of Hatha yoga taught at Yoga Synergy is derived from the work of Professor T. Sri Krishnamacharya was teacher to three of the most influential yoga masters alive today – Sri B.K.S. Pattabhi Jois (who developed Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga) and, Sri T.K.V. Desikachar (author of The Heart of Yoga). Our unique style has been developed over 30 years by experienced yoga practitioners and physiotherapists Bianca & Simon. It incorporates asanas (poses and postures), vinyasa (exercises) and pranayama (breathing control) and meditation. It’s a dynamic, moving meditation, which links specific yoga postures performed in sequence, with specific breathing patterns. Our style of yoga is very effective in developing strength, flexibility, cardiovascular fitness, increasing energy and the ability to deal with stress. All postures have a simple and a more challenging version so – whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, and depending on how you feel on the day – you’ll be able to choose the level of difficulty that suits you. The Synergy Method is the foundation of FLOW and VINYASA styles as we know it today. Yoga Synergy have both online & live courses, retreats, classes. workshops and teacher trainings.

My relationship with India began in 1989.

What started as a pull I couldn’t explain became something much deeper over time.

Seventeen journeys later, it’s a place that has shaped how I see the world — and how I live within it.

India isn’t always easy.
But it’s honest.
Alive.
And deeply human.

Guiding this journey isn’t about tourism.

It’s about offering a thoughtful, well-held way to experience a country that has given me so much.

With a small number of places remaining, this is an opportunity to join something grounded in experience, care, and genuine connection.

Ambition in yoga can bring frustration when we meet our limits. Used wisely, that frustration becomes a teacher - guiding patience, surrender and respect for the process.

This journey sits in a rare middle ground.
It’s not a retreat where you stay in one place, and it’s not a fast-paced tour ticking off landmarks. Instead, it offers a carefully curated rhythm of culture, exploration, and optional yoga to support the body along the way.
Perfect for those who want to experience India deeply—without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
Only a few places remain for September/October.

Most exercise is designed for short-term results.

Yoga and especially Yoga Synergy works differently.

It isn’t something you complete in a set number of weeks —
it’s something you return to and deepen over time.

At Yoga Synergy Newtown, the focus is on building a practice that supports:

strength
mobility
and long-term wellbeing

Not just intensity for today,
but something your body can continue with for years.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, the New Student Intro is a simple way to begin. Link in Bio.

Most people feel unsure when they first start yoga.

That’s completely normal.

Confidence doesn’t come from doing something once —
it builds through repetition.

That’s why we teach sequences.

Over time, movements become familiar, the structure makes sense, and the practice starts to feel natural.

Our Water sequence begins today — a new cycle, and a simple place to begin.

If you’ve been thinking about starting, this is a good moment to step in.
