The Workout
VibeFlow Yoga has whole body vibration plates built into the studio floor that are slightly larger than a yoga mat. The plates are turned on for 20-25 minutes of class to a frequency that is appropriate for your level of practice. The plates do generate some noise so headsets are worn to mitigate that. The instructor’s voice and music flow through the headsets so not only do you never miss a cue, but you are also able to stay present during your practice.
Almost everyone! VibeFlow Yoga offers tremendous benefits for the vast majority of people looking to improve flexibility, balance, focus, strength, health and wellness. There are classes suitable for all fitness levels as well as experience in the practice of yoga. The newest class offering, VibeFlow Yoga SHRED, incorporates light weights. These, coupled with the vibration plates, take yoga sculpt to a whole new level. There are a few medical conditions that are not recommended to interact with Whole Body Vibration Technology, but the good news is that in those rare circumstances, you can choose to have the plates off and still experience an amazing yoga class with audio immersion.
WBVT in generic terms is when vibrations of any frequency are transferred to the human body. The vibration plates that are used at VibeFlow Yoga utilize vertical vibration and stimulate various processes in the body. Your muscles are forced to contract 40% more than they normally would, which builds strength quicker, recovery faster, while also improving your balance. There are many other health benefits that WBVT provides including, but not limited to, reducing stress, reducing joint and back pain, drain lymphatic system, and increasing bone mineral density.
WBVT is used in sports performance facilities, thorough bread and equestrian horses, and physical therapy clinics worldwide. Space programs use WBVT to help astronauts regain muscle mass and maintain and improve bone density.

VibeFlow Yoga is not looking to change the tradition of yoga, only to enhance it with the technology of whole-body vibration and audio immersion. At VibeFlow Yoga we have created yoga classes that will revolutionize the practice and revitalize your experience.
VibeFlow Yoga offers Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin and its own version of Yoga Sculpt called VibeFlow Yoga SHRED.
This is not traditional hot yoga. The room is warm, typically set at 74-78 degrees. The Vibration Plates also warm up the body so you will feel increased heat as your plate frequency increases. This allows for a greater stretch and deeper pose.
VibeFlow Yoga is different in that 20 minutes of the 50 minute class is practiced with the vibration plates turned on to a frequency that is appropriate for the level of practice. The combination of Whole Body Vibration Technology and individual audio headsets provide for an energizing and intimate experience.
