Reducing Client Stress by Understanding Yoga and Pilates
for the New Year, by Beth Shaw.
Many of your clients face stress on the job and at home-the
reality of long hours, deadlines, finances, politics, personalities
and family issues-many clients may deal with their stress
with a break of some kind and usually not a healthy one;
the extra cafe latte, a cigarette, a few martinis after
work. Whatever they can do to wind down; blow off some
steam and attempt realxation.
Those of us in the fitness industry are the lucky ones,
for several reasons. We usually love our "chosen" professions,

YogaFit founder Beth Shaw admits her YogaButt class - which
quickly became the most popular program at her Hermosa Beach
Studio when she started offering it a year ago - "isn't
really yoga" in the traditional sense but says it might
introduce excercisers to yoga concepts and, better yet, make
converts out of them. A true believer with a keen marketing
sense, Shaw draws such area industryites as Ali Landry and
scribe Roger Avary to her studio a couple of blocks from
the beach, but her real focus is training yoga instructors
around the world. Her mantra: yoga for the masses." |

Butt-Firming Yoga - Who ever thought yoga could do wonders
for your tush? Beth Shaw, creator of the YogaButt class
in Hermosa Beach, California, takes traditional postures
like the Warrior and combines them with classic glute-tightening
moves. Try this version of the Bridge Pose: Lie on your
back, knees bent, hips raised. Place a ball or towel between
knees and press them together as you lift the lower hips." |

Beth Shaw's YogaFit Workout, by Fit, fitness editor, Rita
- Whether you're a yoga novice or a hardcore yogini, this
is a perfect choice for total body toning. Beth is a wonderful,
knowledgeable teacher who doesn't waste time with a big
intro but gets right into the workout. She starts with
some simple warm-up stretches, gives clear, easy-to-follow
instructions and doesn't use confusing Sanskrit terminology.
The basic sun salutations build heat in the body, and then
it's onto the floor for some challenging toning and ab
work. You can modify the moves according to your mood/fitness
level. The last five minutes include guided relaxation
and meditation. I do this at least four times a week." |

"Video Yoga Fix by Spa writer, Amy Madsen -
I remember my first workout video. An actress shouted "Feel
the burn!" as I bounced around my living room in leg warmers
and a headband. Often, however, the "burn" was supplemented
by pain when I barked my shins on the coffee table. Well, there's
no yelling in Beth Shaw's YogaFit Workout video, and forget
jumping around. This workout, which combines elements of hatha
yoga with traditional fitness exercises and stretches, keeps
you in one spot on a comfy mat while you work up a respectable
sweat. The video prepares you for the various yoga poses in
a section called "YogaFit Workout Essentials." Shaw
demonstrates breathing techniques and basic poses, as well
as modifications for beginners and people with bad knees, backs,
or necks. The 43-minute workout begins with warm-up breathing
and stretching. Then it moves into a rather rigorous series
of yoga moves and ends with deep relaxing stretches. The spiral
bound book that comes with the video is a handy reference,
both during the introduction and the actual workout." |
