YAS Fitness Center Founder Kimberly Fowler Dishes Restorative Health Secrets

Triathlete, brain tumor survivor, and yogi adds VidaTea to daily health regiment

Los Angeles & Carlsbad, CA -- April 09, 2008 -- YAS Fitness Centers Founder and creator of YOGA for ATHLETES® Kimberly Fowler is more than a typical yoga instructor. She is a triathlete, and a survivor. Proclaimed by the media as “The New Face of Modern Yoga,” Fowler is proof positive that yoga can help maintain, improve, and even restore health and today, she’s sharing the latest ingredient in her wellness mix: VidaTea from Healthy Innovations.

Vida Tea is an ultra-premium sparkling green tea lightly sweetened with organic Agave Nectar, named by Dr. Mehmet Oz on “The Oprah Show” as the best sugar substitute because it doesn’t spike blood sugar levels. Vida Tea contains no sodium, artificial sweeteners, colors, or flavors. Fowler was drawn to the fact that each can is packed with powerful, antioxidant-rich ingredients like EGCG, Grape Seed Extract, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Coenzyme Q10 which protect cells against the destructive effects of free radicals that contribute to aging.

“I believe you need to take as much care of your inside as your outside.  Yoga & Spinning® have kept me in shape physically and when I found VidaTea, its anti-aging properties really drew me to it.  It’s great tasting (Desert Pear is my favorite) and is packed with many of the properties that help slow down the aging process.  I really love it.  I drink it everyday.”  Kimberly Fowler

How Kimberly Fowler’s journey began
In 1982, while a second year law student, a car hit Fowler during a bike race. Severely injured, she turned to Iyengar yoga, which helped heal and totally realign her body. Then, in 1983, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. She once again set out to defy the odds, and with the help of yoga, conquered the dreaded disease.

Today, the same determination can be found in Ms. Fowler’s YAS Fitness Centers in California. Introduced in 2001, her revolutionary program, YOGA for ATHLETES®, aims to demystify yoga and make it readily available to the general public. Long favored among professional athletes who consider her their “secret weapon, YOGA for ATHLETES® integrates movement, strength, breath and mind for a strong physical body.  This year Fowler began the next step of her business plan, franchising YAS Fitness Centers. She plans to open up 15 locations in California.  In 2009 she will take her concept to New York.

Fowler is also credited with the creation of the very popular yoga hybrid YAS class, combining the intense cardio of YAS indoor cycling with the strengthening and stretching elements of YOGA for ATHLETES®. On Sunday, April 13 from 1-4, join VidaTea in supporting the second annual YAS-A-THON to help raise money for the Women’s Sports Foundation.
