Hail to all the teachers of yoga, for the world is certainly a happier and healthier place thanks to them. Beth Shaw has earned her place among the ranks of notable yogis and her latest book, Yogafit, is worthy of her dedication to the path. With just enough preliminary direction and information this is a great book for yoga initiates, and with a volume of poses of differing intensities, this is a great book to keep one practicing or to challenge your existing practice. Basic instructions accompany each pose, alongside a photograph of someone demonstrating the pose. The series of yoga movements offered in Part III—workouts that incorporate a warm-up, a practice with peaks and valleys, and a cool down-- at varying levels of difficulty-- comprise the Yogafit program. With this structure, one can customize a workout not only for fitness level, but also in response to how your body is feeling on any given day.

The benefits of yoga to mind, body and spirit are numerous and far-reaching; the best reason to do yoga is because you will feel better. How you will feel better is a personal experience, but feel better you will. Just ask anyone who does yoga on a regular basis. Best of all, with modifications, yoga is suitable and beneficial for everyone from three to one hundred, for super-athletes or couch potatoes, for the housebound or wheelchair-bound. If you are breathing, you can do yoga. And Yogafit can help—yes, with the breathing too!
