Beth Shaw

While Beth Shaw was teaching yoga in some of the finest fitness clubs in Southern California, she began to realize that all of her training in traditional yoga forms did not prepare her to work with the typical club member. Traditional yoga poses and transitions did not take into account all of the body types Beth Shaw encountered on a regular basis. They did not enable her to effectively work with people of different fitness levels or ages, either.

In order to open yoga up to a larger group of people, Beth Shaw began developing a unique program that combined elements of traditional yoga and the versatility of modern day fitness regimens. She first incorporated the warm-up, work, cool-down structure that is common to group exercise. She also created progressions and a flow to her classes that made it easier for people to stay engaged and to avoid the strain that often comes from "held poses."

Beth Shaw's techniques grew into YogaFit, an original yoga/fitness hybrid that is popular all over the world and that is recognized by ACE and a range of yoga affiliations. At YogaFit, we offer classes that enable instructors to work with every type of student. There are also YogaFit classes that give you the opportunity to teach to groups that are often ignored by traditional yoga forms such as senior, kids, and plus size students.

Beth Shaw has said, "If you can breathe, you can do yoga." YogaFit is committed to proving that statement true. You can find workshops and conferences across the country that will enable you to work towards your certification and to create yoga classes that can benefit anyone.Contact us at 1-888-786-3111 or info@yogafit.com if you have any questions.
