I have received the Level 1 and Level 2 certifications from YogaFit and I LOVE the organization! When I went to the Level 1, I did not have an extensive background in yoga. YogaFit makes learning about yoga and preparing to teach a yoga class so easy...they break the class down into sections, which really works for me since I need things "outlined" and in an organized fashion for my classes! I am very happy to be a part of the YogaFit family and hope to continue my trainings with them.

Katherine Garner has been my personal trainer for more than seven years. In that time, I have found her to be caring and professionally competent in multiple exercise modes. She has managed to keep me healthy and involved in three weekly workout sessions by varying my program and challenging my fitness levels.

I developed leukemia in 2007, and my oncologist believes that the continuing devotion to her fitness sessions, has allowed me to remain active and flexible. Can't praise her too highly, and am grateful for her commitment to my health.

I have completed Yogafit's Levels 1 thru 5, Anatomy & Alignment, Yogafit Plus, Yogafit Props, and Level 1 Integration. I have enjoyed every one of my trainings and would recommend Yogafit very highly to anyone seeking to become a yoga instructor or to enhance their current trainings with other companies.
