Book Reviews of Beth Shaw's Yogafit - 2nd Edition

Book Review: Great User-Friendly Yoga Resource
Summary: 5 Stars

Beth Shaw, Founder of YogaFit, a program that trains and certifies people to teach fitness based yoga in health clubs throughout the US, has just released a new version of her book, Beth Shaw's YogaFit. She calls it a program for a more powerful, flexible, and defined physique. YogaFit is based on a vinyasa flow style of yoga that provides a challenging physical workout.

Her book provides a comprehensive, user-friendly introduction to hatha yoga and guide to the YogaFit system, clearly and concisely.

The first part of the book is called "Preparing for YogaFit." Here the basics are covered including a discussion of yoga's benefits, the philosophy of yoga, how to prepare for doing yoga, required yoga equipment, breathing concepts and the YogaFit approach to yoga pose sequencing. It also includes a review of The YogaFit Seven Principles of Alignment, an integral aspect of the YogaFit system. The Seven Principles of Alignment, coupled with the fitness based format of warm-up, workout, and cool down help to make YogaFit a safe, accessible style of yoga. Modern exercise science is applied to the ancient mind-body practice of yoga to help keep you safe and avoid injury. Something too often overlooked in many of today's yoga classes.

The second part of Beth Shaw's YogaFit is all about yoga poses. More than sixty basic yoga poses are covered. Each pose includes photographs and instructions for getting into the pose, holding the pose, and suggested pose modifications. Poses are categorized into the following chapters - core strength poses, standing poses, forward and back bending poses, twists, and deep relaxing poses and inversions.

Part three of the book puts it all together into a variety of fitness focused yoga workout sequences. There is also an exhaustive list of suggested yoga routines for various special athletic requirements including swimming, running, cycling, golf, tennis and many more.

The book concludes with chapters on diet and nutrition and an introduction to meditation.

Beth Shaw's YogaFit is a book I intend to add to my yoga resource shelf. It is a helpful guide and resource to beginners wanting to practice at home and athletes looking for suggested yoga routines to support their cross-training efforts. Yoga instructors looking for simple alignment principles and suggested sequencing to help yoga students practice safely will also find it helpful.
