ABOUT US
WHO
WE ARE
vyb (pronounced ‘vibe’) stands for Vibes, Yoga, Beats. Our logo represents the sacred sound Aum, symbolizing the connection between all things including mind, body, and spirit. At vyb, we integrate the power of sound, movement, mental focus, and energy to create transformative experiences and to help guide you on the eight limbed path of yoga. We’re local to Winston Salem, owned by Allie and Louie Labate.

WHAT ARE WE
ALL ABOUT?
At vyb studio, we empower individuals to discover their full potential by fostering deeper connections within themselves and the community. We are committed to growth—spiritual, mental, and physical—while making yoga approachable, exciting, and accessible to everyone. Our mission is to elevate the vibration of our community through powerful yoga practices, dynamic music, and intentional movement.
What sets us apart from traditional studios is our infusion of high-energy, loud music into classes, creating an atmosphere of focus, intensity, and transformation. We believe sound and vibration are powerful tools for shifting mental and physical states. By integrating music into our classes, we help students break free from distractions, stay present, and fully engage in their practice. Through challenge comes growth, and we’re here to guide students in discovering how much more they’re capable of, both on and off the mat.
Though vyb studio embraces a modern, non-traditional approach, we remain deeply rooted in the ancient teachings and traditions of yoga. We believe yoga is far more than a workout—it’s a practice that unites the body, mind, and soul, allowing you to explore the deeper, transformative benefits it offers.

philosophy
- Scripture:
Our teachings are inspired by ancient Sanskrit scriptures, including Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, the Upanishads, and the Vedas. These timeless texts provide the foundation for everything we do at vyb. - Ahimsa (Nonviolence):
Ahimsa is the cornerstone of yoga and the first step in Patanjali’s eight-limbed system. We promote ahimsa in all aspects of life, advocating for Veganism, Animal and Human Rights, Environmental Conservation, and Social Activism. - Music:
At vyb studio, music isn’t just a background element—it’s integral to the experience. Rooted in the principles of Nada Yoga (“union through sound”), we use music as a tool for inner transformation. The vibrations of sound enhance focus, motivation, and connection, helping students dive deeper into their practice. - Low Lighting + No Mirrors:
To cultivate Pratyahara (the fifth limb of yoga, withdrawal of the senses), our studio design eliminates mirrored walls and bright lighting. This allows you to draw your senses inward, focusing on self-awareness rather than external distractions. Through this intentional environment, you can better connect to the present moment and your inner experience. - Meditation:
Samadhi, the ultimate goal of yoga, is a blissful state of deep mental clarity and spiritual connection. The only way to access this profound state is through meditation. While yoga asana—the physical practice—is an important piece of the puzzle, it is just one aspect of unlocking deeper states of mental focus, clarity, and consciousness. Our classes always end with time dedicated to stillness, whether in Savasana or Padmasana, offering you the chance to quiet the mind, integrate your practice, and begin exploring these deeper layers. We also offer regular Sound Bath Meditations and Meditation classes, giving you the tools to cultivate a meditation practice outside of your asana practice, and discover how meditation can truly transform your life. - Daily Practice:
Yoga is most transformative when practiced consistently. Whether you’re diving into an intense, sweaty flow or taking chill class, a regular practice is key to unlocking your full potential and living a more intentional, vibrant life. We encourage stepping onto your mat 4–5 times per week, while also honoring the importance of rest. Allowing your body at least one day of recovery from asana practice gives it the time and space to rebuild, restore, and come back stronger. Consistency, balance, and self-care are the foundation of true growth.

Yoga is your personal journey on your mat. We have a “you do you” policy–do what you can, take breaks when you need them, only do things that feel good, not focusing so much on things that look good.
No matter what class you choose to attend, introduce yourself to your teacher and ask all the questions! We’re here to help you find what feels right for you.
- Yoga mat
- An open mind
- Clothing you can move in
- Water bottle
- Sweat towel if needed
Don’t have a mat? We have rental mats available for $5 (free for members) and we also sell Manduka mats in-studio!
Sometimes an unexpected absence may occur, but please understand that our class cancelation policy is aimed to be a preventative measure rather than a penalty. As a small studio with limited space, our demand for class spots is high. Absent No-Shows and Late Cancels are inconsiderate to our teachers and students, limit others from participating in classes, and are disruptive to our overall yoga community and the sustainability of our studio.
- Cancellation Window: Please cancel your class booking more than 1 hour before the scheduled class. This allows us to offer the spot to another yogi who may be on the waitlist or looking to attend.
- Late Cancellation/No-show: If a student fails to cancel their booking within the specified cancellation window or simply doesn’t show up for the class, they will incur a fee. No-shows are $20 + forfeiture of class pass used, and a late cancel is $10 + forfeiture of class pass used.
- Special Events or Workshops: Different cancellation policies may apply to special events and workshops. Please take a look at the specific event details for information on cancellation deadlines and penalties.
- Exceptions: We get it. Emergencies and unforeseen circumstances arise. In such cases, please reach out to us as soon as possible to discuss the situation. We may waive the cancellation penalty upon review of the circumstances. Text us: 336-422-7649 or email: allie@vyb-studio.com.
