Dana and Chris Garrett, of Synergy Yoga and Pilates in Mobile, became yoga teachers and studio owners because they wanted to make a positive difference in people’s lives. They opened Synergy’s doors in 2005, doubled their size in 2011 and believe, even with the 2020 COVID pandemic, that the best is yet to come.

Class vibes are relaxed and friendly, offering options to suit beginner to advanced students, no matter where they are in life. Experienced yoga teachers offer regular multi-level hatha yoga and gentle formats. The studio also offers Pilates (both mat and equipment), Fitness Fusion and (for inflammation and pain relief) MELT method classes.

Synergy helps students reach their goals by moving through a series of small and attainable steps, setting them up to succeed. “We don’t want to raise the bar so high they ultimately give up. In the big picture, the only failure is not trying,” says Dana. “Whether a student’s focus is on their physical, mental or emotional needs, we find the most joy in making sure they feel better walking out than they did when they walked in.”
