WHY WHOLYFIT IS BETTER THAN YOGA

•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because WHOLYFIT has a detailed, purposeful warm-up. Yoga typically does not include a warm-up.
•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because names of WHOLYFIT postures are original, correspond to Scripture and are Christ-honoring. Names of Yoga postures are often named after stories honoring religious heroes of the Yoga religions. (For example, the "hero" pose.)
•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because WHOLYFIT teaches the practice of Christian Meditation by thinking about Scripture which is much different than classical Yogic transcendental meditation.
•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because the WHOLYFIT warm-up cycle provides cardiovascular benefit. Most Yoga classes do not offer this type of training.
•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because WHOLYFIT offers a definite format. Yoga has no set format.
•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because WHOLYFIT exercises are based on ACSM and AFAA fitness guidelines which promote a higher benefit to risk ratio than Yoga poses do in general. Yoga is highly entrenched in tradition and some common traditional poses have a high risk to benefit ratio (like "Lotus" and "Plough").
•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because WHOLYFIT offers fitness based sequencing. You will get an awesome workout that is just right for you. Many Yoga classes do not emphasize the specific fitness goals that WholyFit does.
•	WHOLYFIT is better than Yoga because WHOLYFIT is multi-level and self-paced, offering gradual training using cutting edge personal training techniques. WholyFit is never boring because WholyFit instructors receive new routines on an ongoing basis.
