Limitless Practice: The Power of Simplicity in Yoga and Life
Today's episode is all about the principles of yoga that we apply to the yoga practice, and that could really support our modern busy lifestyle. Have you ever felt you need to do more? That you are not enough? That you need to push harder? Alberto Guerrieri, Yoga Synergy Teacher based in Milan, Italy, shares with us his ideas about kindness, awareness, and being content with what you have and where you are.We also touch base on the idea of LIMITS, what happens if we stop thinking of pushing our limits during the practice/training/life, and instead approach it with curiosity: to explore your body here and now, and see where it takes you.It is about moving from within - outwards, rather than focusing on the edges of that box that sometimes we feel stuck in. I hope you enjoy this episode, I found it particularly inspiring!

From Brazil to Tuscany: A Life Of Contrast with Bruna Carvalho
Today's guest at the Synergy Podcast is a Power Woman: Bruna Carvalho, founder of Podere La Gualda Vecchia, the retreat centre in Tuscany where I will host my Root & Flow Retreat in October 2025. Bruna grew up in Brazil, studied in Italy, and after a few years working in Rome she decided to create a life closer to nature. Her family bought a property in Tuscany, Podere La Gualda Vecchia, and moved into a completely different lifestyle, challenges, dreams and insights about life.In this episode Bruna shares her journey from dream to reality, which I think is a process where many of us get stuck for the fear of failure, for the fear of not making it financially. But as Bruna said after we stopped recording, "You always find money when you need, there are many ways to make it work". I hope you will find her story inspiring, and if you want to connect with her, I will drop her contacts below:https://www.lagualdavecchia.it/en/https://www.instagram.com/lagualdavecchia/#As for me, here comes the direct link to mielestrega and Yoga Synergy Sweden homepage:https://www.mielestrega.com/And because you are a listener, SYNERGY10 gives you 10% discount on your first purchase./Arianna
