Her forthcoming book, Yoga for Longevity, set for release on October 1, 2025, positions her at the forefront of cutting-edge longevity research, synthesizing findings on extending healthspan—the years lived in vibrant health—through lifestyle interventions like yoga, mindfulness, and personalized nutrition.
Recent studies, such as those published in Nature Aging (2025), highlight how regular physical activity, including yoga, can reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and diabetes by up to 30%. Beth’s work also draws on emerging research into epigenetic markers, such as DNA methylation, which can be modulated through lifestyle to slow biological aging (Horvath & Raj, 2018). Her ability to translate complex scientific concepts into practical, actionable strategies, informed by her global teaching and holistic healing studies, makes her a compelling speaker for audiences seeking to enhance their well-being. Her Make America Healthy podcast, which reaches thousands of listeners, offers evidence-based discussions on holistic health, mental resilience, and longevity, further solidifying her reputation as a trusted voice in the wellness community.
A Dynamic and Engaging Presenter with Global Experience
Beth Shaw’s ability to connect with audiences through engaging, thought-provoking, and entertaining presentations sets her apart as a speaker. Her extensive experience teaching yoga and wellness worldwide—in settings as diverse as Japanese hospitals and health spas, Russian fitness centers, Turkish wellness retreats, and South American community programs—has honed her ability to adapt content to varied cultural and professional contexts. She has also studied holistic healing extensively in the US and abroad, incorporating modalities like Reiki and yoga therapy into her teaching to address physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This global perspective allows her to resonate with diverse audiences, from corporate professionals to wellness enthusiasts.

Her expertise in adult education, developed through global YogaFit workshops and Zoom-based courses, makes her an ideal fit for events targeting mature learners, corporate teams, or wellness communities. She is adept at using digital platforms like Zoom to deliver dynamic content, ensuring seamless engagement for virtual or hybrid events
Her social and emotional intelligence shines through in her ability to foster inclusive, interactive environments, encouraging audience participation through Q&A sessions, live yoga demonstrations, or mindfulness exercises.
For example, at a wellness retreat in Japan, Beth led a session for healthcare professionals at a diagnostic medical wellness center, teaching yoga techniques to reduce workplace stress, supported by research showing breathing exercises lower blood pressure (Journal of Hypertension, 2024). Attendees praised her ability to make complex concepts accessible and actionable. Similarly, in a South American community workshop, she tailored yoga practices for seniors, drawing on her holistic healing studies to enhance mobility and mental clarity. Whether speaking to a room of 50 or a virtual audience of 500, Beth’s warm, approachable style creates a sense of connection and empowerment, making every event memorable and impactful.
Expertise in Longevity: A Timely and Relevant Topic
Longevity is a pressing topic in today’s health and wellness landscape, as individuals and organizations seek ways to extend healthspan and improve quality of life. Beth Shaw’s deep knowledge of longevity research, informed by her global teaching and holistic healing studies, makes her a uniquely qualified speaker to address this growing interest. Her upcoming book, Yoga for Longevity, explores recent findings, such as those in Nature Aging (2025), which emphasize that lifestyle interventions—physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and social connections—can significantly delay the onset of age-related diseases. Beth’s teaching in Japanese hospitals and health spas has given her firsthand insight into integrating yoga and mindfulness into medical and wellness settings, enhancing health outcomes for diverse populations.
One of Beth’s proposed lecture topics, “Yoga for Longevity: Harnessing Movement and Mindfulness to Extend Healthspan,” dives into the science of how yoga improves cardiovascular health, reduces inflammation, and enhances cognitive function. A 2024 meta-analysis in The Lancet found that regular yoga practice can improve executive function and memory in adults over 50, making it a powerful tool for cognitive longevity. Beth brings this research to life with practical demonstrations, such as chair yoga for accessibility, which she has taught in settings like Japanese hotels and South American community centers, ensuring inclusivity for all fitness levels.
Another compelling topic, “The Science of Healthy Aging: From Epigenetics to Lifestyle,” explores cutting-edge longevity research, including the GrimAge test, which predicts biological age based on DNA methylation patterns (Lu et al., 2019). Beth’s studies in holistic healing, particularly in Asia, inform her approach to explaining how lifestyle choices like plant-based diets and stress management can influence these epigenetic markers. Her third proposed topic, “Nutrition and Longevity: Personalized Strategies for a Vibrant Life,” draws on research into tailored nutrition plans, which show that individualized diets can reduce chronic disease risk by up to 40% (Journal of Nutrition, 2025). These topics, enriched by her global experience in wellness settings, are universally relevant and resonate with audiences seeking to live longer, healthier lives.
