Yoga. But first….breathing, core and posture.
Why VE will be the most unique yoga……..
…experience that you will ever have encountered. People often step into our seventh floor sanctuary seeking flexibility and calm — the kind of outcomes typically associated with the practice of yoga. However what our members can all attest to is that they walk away with something completely unexpected. VE is a hybrid training centre with early roots in traditional yoga practice. However the studio is now renowned as the first SMFT™️ Human Systems Coherence Training centre that is focused on autonomic nervous system regulation first. The nervous system is the central coordinating system of the human body — from the cardiovascular system through to the hormonal system. Supporting autonomic nervous regulation is the first step to building a physiology that delivers longevity and better performance.

Vital Energy is the exercise studio I’ve been looking for! I’ve really enjoyed committing to the “trifecta” of core, strength and yoga classes the past three or four months. I’m feeling stronger and more able to do other exercise now I have that foundational strength (but I’m still working on it). The one on one at the outset to understand my development areas was also really useful. Highly recommend for anyone - this is the perfect staple in my exercise and well-being routine.

Vital Energy is the place to be. Since becoming part of this community, my spark and motivation to exercise and to take time out for myself has been reignited. There is an excellent range of classes. In addition to yoga there are core, strength, mobility, stretch, and yoga nidra (my favourite). Something new and challenging or different is added to the program often.Embracing Vital Energy’s philosophy and laser focus on breath, technique, and a slower pace, I have quickly increased strength and mobility.
