Book Review: Review of Beth Shaw's YogaFit Second Edition Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Other than doing yoga poses when I was pregnant, YogaFit was my first exposure to yoga poses. I took a college course, and our course book was the first edition of the Beth Shaw's YogaFit book.
The second book is so much of an improvement over the second book, in that the second book has delved into the philosophy of yoga, a bit more detailed information about special populations of people, who might enjoy practicing yoga, details about YogaFit's Seven Principles of Alignment, which are essential in one practice of safe yoga, and excellent descriptions of the poses with photographs and great worded explanations.
A bit of a bonus, which I really like, are visual diagrams of the YogaFit varied workouts. From Beginning Yoga, to Flex and Flowing through your poses, to a core version of yoga, to ending with a diagram of poses to do in a power yoga format.
There are some nice additional sections in the book about diet and nutrition, meditation, and information about the chakras. Plus at the end a list of the different pose, and where they are optimally placed in YogaFit Mountain format.
I've been pleased with the Human Kinetics books, and Beth's second edition book is wonderful.

Book Review: A Message From The Author
Summary: 5 Stars
All things start with the physical. In this earth plane our physical bodies provide us both the most challenge and the most opportunity. With one out of every three Americans obese, obviously the challenge to maintain and create good health is a real one. I created the YogaFit program in 1994 so that people cold progress through the many layers and levels of yoga, starting with the physical first. As the company has been in business for over 18 years, we have grown, offering a 500 hour and 200 hour RYT program.
I've been to India several times and am happy to bring you more in depth knowledge in the Second Edition of YogaFit. Once someone has their physical practice down and can master their bodies, they are ready for more. Are you ready for more? Can you let go of judgment, expectation and competition ? Can you be in a state of peace and love?
Whatever your answer I do hope you enjoy my new book. Many blessing to you on your journey. If we can all learn to love these bodies we have been given and learn to love each other- the world will transform. we must transform ourselves first. YogaFit is the answer, one of many.......
Namase

Book Review: Fantastic resource!
Summary: 5 Stars
Beth's YogaFit Second Edition is one of the most comprehensive well written and useful book about Yoga I have found on the market. It is written for both the beginner and the advanced Yogi and is an incredibly valuable tool for anyone who is interested in Yoga. Beth's book is nothing short of brilliant and the comprehensive, well thought out content clearly demonstrates the work of a true expert. This book packs years of education into a very valuable resource and a very useful tool. After 20 years in the fitness industry as an instructor, educator, author and presenter, I finally have something I can feel good about recommending to my clients, my staff and my family.

Book Review: Yoga for every~BODY!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book when I signed up for my Yogafit certification and found it extremely helpful before I actually took the classes. I had a really good understanding of what would be taught and felt ahead of the game when I actually got there. The information in the book is layed out nice w/ actual images of people in the specific poses and then shows you actual routines in the back. I highly recommend it to anyone going for their certification through Yogafit and/or anyone who is interested in bringing the yoga experience into their life. The great thing about Yogafit is it's Yoga for every-BODY ~ and they stress keeping your bodies in alignment to prevent injury which I love! ~ You only get one body:)Book Review: t4yoga

It truly unites Yoga and Fitness into one, keeping in mind safety and consistency for the novice yogi or extra knowledge for the more experienced one. In addition to speaking to the essence of Yogafit and how to effectively life a yogic life in today's world, it also provides a guide for a yoga practice depending on your sport or exercise of choice. So, if you are a basketball player, it gives you the best way to practice yoga to improve the overall flexibility, strength and balance for this modality. This book is a definate buy, for you or as a gift!
