Introducing Vibe Yoga and Pilates, a brand-new studio opening in the heart of Airlie Beach this Saturday.
Owner Manyia Vale says she is excited to welcome a community of people looking to connect, stretch out and revive from the stress of everyday life.
A yoga and Pilates teacher for 25 years, Manyia is originally from England but spent 14 years in Noosa where she owned and operated three yoga studios.
Looking for a new adventure, she moved to the Whitsundays two years ago and now feels a calling to open a dedicated studio which offers infrared heated yoga and Pilates classes, the first of its type in the region.
In her youth, Manyia was a marathon and triathlon competitor, but after she sustained many injuries she was no longer able to run.
Deciding to find alternative ways to heal her broken body, she discovered Bikram (26+2) hot yoga which not only calmed her mind but also aided her recovery.
Since then, she has felt passionate about helping others in the same way.
With five classes a day, running morning and afternoon, there are options for everyone in the community and everyone is welcome.
Here is a taste of what is on offer at Vibe Yoga and Pilates.
HOT YOGA
The infrared heat has powerful healing benefits. It releases stress and tension, sweats out the heavy metals and toxins, and reduces anxiety.
INFERNO PILATES (HIIT)
High intensity, low impact interval training with Pilates principals, weights and resistant bands are also added to classes. It is an effective way of recovering from sports injuries, it strengthens, leans and tones, burning fat for 72 hours after a 45-minute session.
VIBE FUSION
A mixture of Hatha (which promotes posture and stillness) and Vinyasa which is a flowing yoga, these classes incorporates breathwork and follows a sequence which evolves through the session.
