Malva shares her perspective of Synergy and Simon's teachings alongside and in the context of her wider yogic quest to find the bright lights and the refined teachers before they're gone.

From a spiritual sense that continuously drew her to return to the sound of Aum chanting and the Iyengar invocation, to Shadow yoga and underground ancient Indian martial art, Kalaripayattu.

Malva discussed the power of silence, discipline and stillness that draws her to the teachings of Shadow Yoga's originator, Sundernāth (aka Shandor Remete) discipline of Guru Sri Matsyendranath.

She has a sense of seriousness and dedication in her yoga philosophy and challenges that for her, it's not about feeling good, but moving through the discomfort during self discovery.

Though Synergy is not her primary choice to practice, she utilises the approach effectively in specific circumstances with choice students having completed Synergy teacher training.
