jjean says:March 20, 2009 at 9:13 amI could get certified through Yoga Alliance in a 200 or 500 hour program–or both! It would be so cool to teach yoga. I like the idea that YogaFit is more of the discipline and less of the philosophy. I want to know the philosophy & history, but don’t want to focus on that. Thanks!

Kimberly M says:March 21, 2009 at 7:34 amI found out at Yoga Fit that they don’t have any instructors near me, but they’ve got a good yoga accessory starter kit for only $35.95, which is a great price!

I am currently taking a Yoga and Pilates class each once a week for an hour. Even with that little time I have been feeling more relaxed and even a little more toned. Yoga is perfect for mothers because it takes your mind and body away from the everday commotion. You can find a YogaFit class at your nearby gym or through one of their instructional videos, which you can buy at almost every store and of course at their online shop. I HIGHLY recommend Yoga as a relaxation method or form of exercise for women, especially Busy Moms. You can pop this cd in just about anywhere you go, which is great. It is designed specifically for busy people on the go.
YogaFit (“Yoga for the Fitness Industry”™), was developed in 1994 by Beth Shaw. After practicing yoga since 1989 and taking several “Yoga Certifications” Beth began teaching at fitness clubs in Los Angeles. She soon discovered that while traditional certifications taught a lot about the history and philosophy of Yoga, they did not address the nuts and bolts issues of teaching yoga in a health club. Knowing the many challenges of teaching yoga in a health club: bright lights, cold rooms, bodies of all types and fitness/ flexibility levels, she created her own style of yoga that combined fitness moves such as push ups, sit ups and squats with traditional yoga postures linked together in a flowing fitness format. To make the practice “user-friendly” she eliminated the Sanskrit names of the postures and avoided the oming and chanting sometimes associated with traditional yoga practices. YogaFit was born. Beth’s classes were packed and students wanted more!
YogaFit on the Road: - retail 15.95
An Audio YogaFit workout you can do anywhere you have a CD player. This versitile CD includes 2 workouts. A 70 minute yoga workout and a 15 minute seated workout. Great for traveling executives or anyone on the go! Also included is a stick figure chart of all the yoga postures featured in the workout. A nice reference tool for the beginner!
We are giving away 5 Yogafit on the Road Cd’s to help calm your mind, reduce your stress, and tone your body.

In late 1994 the Owner of SportCenter Fitness in Redondo Beach approached Beth to create what would be the first “yoga center within a health club”. Together in a pioneer program, they converted a former golf room into a “yoga center” It was a success. Beth ran and staffed the entire yoga program
