About Yoga Keeps Fit
Yoga Keeps Fit is a community of teachers who are trained to understand the function and dysfunction of the human body in order to work more effectively within yoga and healthcare settings. Our community is trained in both Eastern and Western modalities to work efficiently with doctors and healthcare providers to better understand the student and apply the practice to the individual.
Yoga Keeps Fit believe the best healthcare requires teamwork and multifaceted approaches to wellness from different vantage points. We believe yoga is a powerful tool for so many issues and an essential adjunct to a health and wellness team, however it isn’t a cure-all and our job isn’t to diagnose or be an one-stop shop. Yoga teachers are not medical providers, though some of our teachers also have medical licenses. We believe wholeheartedly in the power of this practice to foster awareness, empowerment and resilience. We believe the best care requires a great team working together to create impactful outcomes.
