What is YogaFit and how is it different than traditional yoga?
YogaFit is specially designed for fitness environments and health club participants. All physical yoga is hatha yoga. Hatha means hot and cold balance, and yoga means to join or to yoke. YogaFit is modern fitness yoga that intertwines fitness moves with basic yoga postures in a heat building and flowing sequence leading to relaxing stretches and a 10 minute rest. The fitness environment provides many challenges that can be overcome with the YogaFit style: Most health clubrooms are cold and air-conditioned The YogaFit style heats the body sufficiently through its heat-building flow, which then creates a safer, more effective environment for the participants. This gradual heat-building helps reduce incidence of injury. In a health club setting, there is a constant flow of new people mixed with regular students. The YogaFit style allows the instructor to challenge the more seasoned students while creating a safe, accessible workout for the newer students at the same time.
