Kimberly Fowler to Launch New Yoga and Spinning(R) Teachers Training at WSSC in Miami

“Godmother of the Yoga Hybrid Movement” to Introduce YAS Yoga Alliance Teachers Training at World Spinning® & Sports Conditioning Conference

Miami, FL. (MMD Newswire) May 9, 2016 — Kimberly Fowler has been called “the Godmother of the Yoga hybrid movement” and “the face of modern Yoga” owing to her innovative methods of blending Yoga and fitness for modern audiences who are more concerned with conditioning and health than with OM-ing their way to enlightenment. On June 1-2, 2016, this fitness icon and modern Yoga powerhouse will launch the much-anticipated YAS (Yoga and Spinning®) Level 1 course of her new YAS Teachers Training, and she’ll do it at the World Spinning ® & Sports Conditioning Conference (WSSC) in Miami.

“There’s absolutely no better place to present my training than at WSSC to a group of like-minded Spinning® enthusiasts,” says Fowler, who will be teaching the Level 1 YAS Teachers Training at the event headquarters hotel, Hilton Downtown Miami. Though the WSSC itself begins on May 28 and runs through June 10, Fowler’s two-day event will be presented on Wednesday, June 1 from 8 AM to 6 PM and on Thursday, June 2 also from 8 AM to 6 PM.

 

“YAS Teachers Training will provide instructors with the necessary tools to teach a user friendly, fitness-oriented style of Yoga in combination with the fundamentals of teaching a studio inspired Spin® class,” says Fowler. Participants will be on their your way to being Yoga Alliance certified and to teach what Yoga Journal Magazine recently called “Yoga’s hottest hybrid.”

Fowler has structured the workshop to be informative and enjoyable, giving instructors all the tools they need to create safe, fun and effective Yoga hybrid classes that are based on exercise science. This includes Yoga pose modifications and a bike setup with an emphasis on both effectiveness and safety. “YAS’s athletic Yoga sequencing and sporty anatomy based cueing is perfect for communicating the mind/body connection in both Yoga and indoor cycling classes,” Fowler explains.

She adds that while most attendees will probably be experienced Yoga or Spinning® students, teachers or fitness professionals, there are no prerequisites to the YAS Level 1 course.

An industry innovator, Kimberly Fowler is strong, passionate and dedicated, having brought change and a fresh perspective to both the yoga and fitness worlds. Far from your typical Yogi, she is as irreverent and unpretentious as she is knowledgeable. It’s not that she disrespects Yoga tradition, but she’s just not into imposing dogma. The founder of YAS Fitness Centers, Fowler is also the author of “The No OM Zone” and “Flat Belly Yoga,” and the creator of Yoga for Athletes®. But her focus stretches far beyond the yoga and fitness worlds: she is also a philanthropist, feminist, athlete, speaker and survivor. Diagnosed with brain cancer when she was a twenty-something triathlete, Fowler battled her way back to health and is going stronger than ever three decades later. She credits Yoga as central to her recovery and comeback.

Since opening up the revolutionary YAS Venice (California) in 2001, Fowler has shaken up the yoga and fitness worlds with her fresh, no-nonsense workouts designed for everyone from elite athletes to beginning yoga enthusiasts, and it’s probably not surprising that she counts a few Hollywood celebrities in her clientele. With the launch of her new YAS Teachers Training at the WSSC in Miami, Fowler hopes to further her goal of getting people “off the couch and onto the mat” by making her techniques even more accessible.

“As the health and fitness industry changes and moves toward a more balanced approach to exercise, the combination of Yoga and Spinning® is on the cutting edge of the new era of body/mind workouts,” says Fowler. “The foundational course I’m launching at WSSC marks a major step forward for the YAS movement, and I’m really excited about it.”
