Yoga means union of body and mind and you probably know what sets it apart from stretching or your physical exercise routine:  the deep and distinct connection with your breath.  Regular yoga practice has been shown to prevent middle-age spread in people of healthy weight and promote weight loss in those who are overweight. 

Almost any position from a yoga or fitness class can be performed on a whole body vibration platform, and Yoga postures are usually held for a minute or two to allow time to focus on alignment.
For the Feet & Legs
- Feet evenly spaced, hip width apart with the outer edges parallel to the edge of the platform
- Even weight distribution through the ball of the foot and the heel
- Lifting the inner arches of the feet, while maintaining an evenness through the ankles
- Lifting the thighs above the kneecap
- Pushing out through the back of the legs
For the Lower Back
- Lifting out of the sacrum, lengthening the lower back
- Maintaining an even lumbar; stabilize by not over arching
- Tuck the tailbone under with navel to spine
For the Back, Neck & Shoulders
-Keep the shoulders down, away from your ears
-Evenness through the collarbones
-Lift the chest without throwing the ribcage forward

When all the muscle groups in the body are able to receive necessary stimulus, the effects of stress may be reduced. When using a vibration platform, endorphins can be released into the blood stream which may promote a sense of well being, enhancing the perceived quality of life. Vibration training may yield an increase in key hormones like serotonin that counter mental lethargy and show true enhancement in overall mood while sharpening the ability to focus and concentrate. Some people have reported an increase in a feeling of optimism, which has lead to the conclusion that the stimulating effects of the vibration machine may help counteract certain types of depression and loss of motivation.
