Yogafit Level One

I attended Yogafit Level One Training this weekend, and it was brilliant. I had always heard that Yogafit was a watered down version of yoga - too westernized, and therefore not "real" yoga. However, given that I want to bring yoga to the masses of stressed out individuals, I think I have found my path. We've all walked into, or at least seen through the glass, yoga classes that are intimidating, where people are doing exercises we can barely wrap our heads around, much less our bodies. Of course once you start doing yoga, you do become amazed at yourself and the things you can do with just a bit of courage, but there are loads of people out there who would never even give it a try because of that first impression. They look at the advanced yoga-doers and write it off as something they could never do. People think they're too fat, too inflexible, too injured or whatever. But Yogafit can accommodate these people. That doesn't mean it does not go deep into yoga, to advanced levels. It does. I think in due time, and with due resources, I'd like to do the entire 200 hour Yogafit certification, and then do a "real" yoga certification, just to see the discrepancies. Or if I can find an unbiased person to tell me, that would be nice too. But there does seem to be some bias out there. Maybe I'll check out Yoga Alliance's requirements, as they are the overseeing body - see what a program needs to be accepted by them.

Anyway, I heart Yogafit! I really enjoyed the training - it was a lot of fun!
