From the founder of YogaFit…

It’s time for a ZENtervention. We at YogaFit and YogaLean are here to revitalize society. Physically. Mentally. Spiritually. To empower all people, no matter who you are, to achieve wellness, and in doing so, to transform lives for the better.

It’s as much a personal journey as a far greater one. Because the better we feel – as individuals, communities, and society as a whole – the more we can accomplish. Put simply, we want to bring wellness to the world.

What we offer is a new way of living, based on the philosophy of yoga, to transform yourself inside and out. It’s about creating and sustaining a balanced lifestyle that touches every aspect of how you live – from fitness and food to meditation and giving back – for realizing total mind body vitality. It’s what we call whole life wellness.

We understand that sometimes people need a catalyst to realize a more holistic approach to their overall wellness. We’ve developed YogaLean to do just that – YogaLean is principles for achieving optimum health and well being. YogaLean sets us on a journey to whole life wellness and positive transformation. It’s about taking the first step: thinking differently to live differently. Being more mindful – of your body, your home, and your time – to reach your optimum.

Over 17 years ago, Founder Beth Shaw pioneered the practice of teaching yoga. Embracing the physical exercise, then its wider philosophy – this was where the vision of For Better Self began.

Starting out of the trunk of her car with a passion to help people feel better and live life more fulfilled, Beth founded YogaFit, today the largest yoga fitness education school in North America. Beth’s work has helped thousands. Now, she aims to bring that knowledge, education, and best practice to all, making it simple and accessible. So everyone can be their better self.
