Anybody who sincerely workouts knows that, afterwards, the body can get sore and requires rest and healing. In Los Angeles, there are all kinds of personal trainers and boot camps. They charge a lot of money and can drive you to exhaustion. This can make you want to quit the program and  abandon your New Year resolution to get in shape.

However, there is a noble fitness program that combines the work-out with a massage to soothe and relax sore muscles.

Welcome to TAEYOGA, a program for fitness and healing in the Los Angeles area.

I suppose, the name TAEYOGA is derived from a combination of the words, Taekwon Do and Yoga. The trainer, a woman, has a background in Martial Arts. She has a second Degree Black Belt in Taekwon  Do (Karate) and she has taught in several schools and Youth Centers in Germany and here in Los Angeles.

With such a formidable background, she has developed a exercise system of  moves that are a mix of slow Martial  Arts techniques, Yoga stances  and stretches and some resistance training. There is no running or jumping involved and so it's easy on  your joints. People go to her place for a personal workout and to get in shape.

And, that is not all.

You can even get a healing massage from her expert hands, on a comfortable table, in a clean and quiet environment. She:
- has more than a decade of experience
- is certified by the German Athlete's Association in Fitness, Martial Arts and Massage.
- has learned massage under Dr. Wismach, head of sports medicine, massage and acupuncture in Germany.
- her massage is a blend of classic relaxation massage (swedish style), deep tissue work and techniques from Hawaii and India.
- her strong, firm touch is bound to promote healing and soothing.

Her studio is equipped for personal workout and massage. Apparently, hot shower is also available.
She can also provides out call service to help you  workout at your home.
