YogaFit Benefits New York Communities at the 2008 Teacher Training Workshops

(Garden City, N.Y.) Awaken your spirit and help your community by joining YogaFit for the 2008 Teacher Training workshops in Garden City Long Island, New York!  Fitness trainers, massage therapists, group exercise instructors, and enthusiasts have the opportunity to participate in the best yoga training program worldwide.

This informative two-day workshop gives instructors the tools to create dynamic, user-friendly, fitness-oriented yoga classes. The learning includes correct physical execution, transitions and modifications to yoga poses, sequencing, class formats, effective ways to communicate the mind/body connection, and methods of developing safe teaching skills for 40+ poses. Trainees begin with level 1, which is designed for beginners teaching yoga, practicing yoga, and learning yoga. For experienced Yoga instructors, this workshop is designed to offer new skills to teach Yoga classes in the mainstream health club or gym environment, focusing on the physical fitness benefits of traditional yoga poses. There are no prerequisites, only the desire to learn and commitment to attend.

What makes YogaFit especially unique is the company’s mission to bring Yoga to the masses. When only 10% of the U.S. population belongs to a health club, YogaFit plays an active role in getting people moving and requires every YogaFit Level One trainee to perform 8 hours of practice teaching in a community service setting before receiving a Certificate of Completion. YogaFit trainees will bring the practice and benefits of Yoga to your neighboring communities, such as seniors in long term care homes, cancer patients and survivors, disabled persons, incarcerated persons, terminally ill persons, children, mentally challenged individuals and military servants, just to name a few. The benefits of YogaFit’s socially responsible program are endless for local communities.

YogaFit is also dedicated to community service via community outreach programs from their corporate headquarters in Torrance, CA and partner studios across the world. To gain a certificate of completion, participants in the YogaFit Teacher Training must donate 8 classes to a group of people who normally would not have the opportunity to take yoga. YogaFit trainees have worked with Handicap, Seniors, Children, Teachers, Stressed out Corporate Executives, Teens at Risk, HIV + , breast Cancer Survivors and others. YogaFit has changed the lives of many in the past and will give the same opportunity to local residents.

YogaFit is the hottest trend of the millennium. YogaFit overcomes the mystery of yoga by delivering a practical, user-friendly style, which is accessible, understandable, and doable by individuals at any level of fitness. The YogaFit style tightens and tones the entire body, enhances balance, improves flexibility and builds core strength by combining traditional fitness training, focused breathing and strength building through yoga poses. The result is a mind-body workout that improves health, athletic performance and mental acuity in people of all ages and fitness levels.

“If you can breathe, you can practice yoga,” says Beth Shaw, founder and president of YogaFit.

YogaFit has trained over 75,000 fitness professionals and yoga instructors at facilities in the U.S. and internationally, and has been integral in the practice of yoga becoming an primary part of health club, gym and spa programs throughout the world.
