In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we’re joined by Beth Shaw, founder and CEO of YogaFit Training Systems Worldwide, one of the most established yoga education organizations globally. Beth shares her lifelong journey in health and wellness, from teaching herself meditation at age six to manage migraines, to building YogaFit into a globally recognized, science-based yoga and mind-body education brand. She discusses how her background in fitness, nutrition, business, and holistic modalities shaped YogaFit’s mission to make yoga accessible, safe, and adaptable for every body.
Beth also reflects on the evolution of the fitness and wellness industry since founding YogaFit in the 1990s, including shifts toward trauma-informed practices, virtual education, and global accessibility. She walks through YogaFit’s worldwide training model, the growth of Be YogaFit Studios, and her role today as a visionary leader focused on quality education and long-term impact. The conversation explores longevity, strength, adaptability, and what it takes to build a values-driven wellness organization that continues to grow across decades.
