Teachers and Method » About Bobbi Misiti

I combine this enthusiasm with education of the body, how it operates, and how it moves. I have dedicated my life to practicing and teaching lifestyle as a means of preventative medicine.

I have been working independently since 1990 teaching the world about the power of breath, movement, food, herbs, and oils.  My journey on this path began in 1990 as a self employed personal trainer, fitness instructor, and nutrition educator.

In 1996 I found the practice of Ashtanga Yoga and delve deep into the yoga path following the traditional method of old fashioned Ashtanga Yoga.  Over the past 20+ years I have been studying, practicing, and teaching the ancient philosophies of yoga, breathing, meditation, and Ayurveda.

From April of 2001 – January 2017 I owned and operated a full on yoga studio; BeFit Body & Mind YOGA, taking a giant leap on my own to teach from my heart – influencing people with lifestyle medicine — teaching the importance of lifestyle as a means to prevent diseases — and thrive.

In the fall of 2009 I began traveling internationally and teaching world wide spreading the joy of yoga, physiology — our internal workings, and the importance of whole fresh foods.  More info here on my travels: https://www.befityoga.com/yoga-workshops-worldwide/
