About The Teacher

Yoga flow and Restorative yoga retreat Sylvia Ferguson 2 | Yoga flow and Restorative yoga

Flow Yoga and Restorative yoga

Sylvia’s upbeat approach and her good humour will help you to let go and guide you towards feeling grounded, spacious and calm

Her classes are very supportive, nurturing, invitational and fun.  

She uses yoga, pranayama, meditation and Yoga Nidra to calm the nervous system and ensures that there is a lovely relaxed and safe environment in her classes. 

Sylvia teaches both Yoga flow, and also Restorative yoga.  In her yoga flow classes  one’s focus is maintained on the breath, and coordinating the breath with the flowing movements.  Sylvia’s Restorative yoga is more relaxing and restorative.

Weaving Mindfulness and Compassion into all classes, Sylvia’s practices are designed to guide you towards feeling grounded, spacious and calm. Yoga and meditation classes are clear and easy to follow.

Sylvia’s classes are a lovely balance of quiet and calming practices, and also some strengthening and provide an opportunity to explore, try something new and emerge feeling empowered and refreshed. 

She loves to bring a playful energy to her classes, and helps one to let go and to feel the nervous system relaxing as one begins to let go into the present moment… and to simply Be.

Sylvia Ferguson has been practising yoga consistently for over 35 years and has been teaching yoga for over 25 years.

She began practising yoga in her 20s and also used to work out at the gym when she was living in the fast lane.  She already noticed signs of stress in her body from the gym.

The yoga intrigued Sylvia, as she felt challenged to let go rather than pushing herself as in the gym work.

She trained Yoga Therapy Ireland over 3 years over 20 years ago.

Underpinned by the richness of Yoga philosophy and grounded in strong anatomy and Physiology, the Yoga Therapy Ireland Yoga Teacher Training course fully prepared her to be an inclusive, safe, and adventurous Yoga teacher.

Over the years, she has a huge amount of experience with Ashtanga yoga and Anusara yoga.

In 2022, Sylvia completed a Master of Science in Mindfulness-Based Interventions, and she weaves mindfulness and compassion into all of her classes.
