PHILOSOPHY Our philosophy is based on ensuring a mindful, strengthening and holistic yoga practice. We encourage the experience of yoga to be a complete system, both on and off the mat. At Good Vibes we honour our asana practice as moving meditation that creates a strong, clear, connected body and mind. We focus on alignment and integrity of movement through flow classes. The movements are initiated by the breath, allowing each inhale to lift, expand and open, and every exhalation to move us further into the experience. Our approach is grounded in the traditional lineages of yoga. We acknowledge all eight limbs of yoga: Yama (ethical disciplines), Niyama (self observation), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dhrana (concentration) Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (a blissful state of joy and peace). Our vibe is laid-back, open, friendly and positive. Our goal is to foster an empowered, healthy and mindful community. We welcome beginners, right through to the most experienced yogi. THE STUDIO Good Vibes is a Yoga studio in Northcote, Melbourne. Your health and the sustainability of our Earth are of the utmost importance to us. This is reflected in all areas of the studio. We keep our classes small, around 30 students maximum. Our white floor is hypo-allergenic cork, which is hygienic, environmentally sustainable, warm in winter, cool in summer, and best of all - soft on your joints. Good Vibes is a climate-controlled environment of 23°C. We use hydronic heating which does not cause dehydration. Hydronic heating is the healthiest choice for your body (and for the environment), as it allows heat to be built internally and safely. Latex free Manduka mats are provided for complimentary use at the studio. These mats are closed cell, which means they are hygienic and won’t absorb sweat. Other amenities include male and female changing facilities and showers. We provide all natural hair and body products. Towel hire is available. This is the perfect environment to learn, discover and expand your heart, mind and body.
