About Us

Yogalift

For 20 years, Shannon Leavitt has personally trained women and men of all ages and fitness levels. Initially her focus was on traditional strength and nutrition programs. As her personal practice of yoga grew, however, she started incorporating those philosophies in her personal training. This holistic approach was extremely successful with clients and through that feedback she created YogaLift.

YogaLift is a comprehensive and effective program which integrates the disciplines of yoga, meditation and strength training in one workout. To further expand on this concept, the YogaLift Fitness and Weight Management Studio opened in 2004.
