YogaFit's Mission

The mission of YogaFit is to bring Yoga to the masses. When only 10% of the U.S. population belongs to a health club, our need to get people moving is necessary. Yoga is a gift for the body and the mind. We started at our flagship YogaFit Studio in Hermosa Beach, CA we began offering Yoga classes for donation only. The community responded gratefully. We believe that if everyone in the world gave one hour per week of community service work, the world be a better place. That is why we require every YogaFit Level One trainee to perform 8 hours of practice teaching in a community service setting before receiving a Certificate of Completion.

Our trainees have brought the practice and benefits of Yoga to seniors in long term care homes, stressed-out corporate executives, cancer patients and survivors, disabled persons, incarcerated persons, terminally ill persons, children, mentally challenged individuals and military servants, just to name a few.

The Community Service Program gives our trainees the opportunity to practice their new teaching skills in a less stressful environment with an appreciative audience. As the thousands of letters we receive in our corporate office, state, volunteering time and energy has proven to be the most rewarding experience for many of our Trainees. YogaFit is dedicated to this work as it promotes the essence of giving and sharing freely.

YogaFit encourages and supports the philosophy of "Conscious Business". In this Millennium we believe the companies that are socially responsible will prosper from good will and good karma. Together we are changing the paradigm of what it means to do good business.. really good business.

Since 1997, YogaFit instructors have given over one million or 100+ years of community service. Together, they've brought yoga to at-risk youth, the elderly, disabled adults and children, stressed-out employees, teenage mothers, churches, synagogues and prisons."
