“For the first time, Yoga Yoga will be offering free online classes during Free Day of Yoga for people who aren't able to make it to a studio,” explains Rich Goldstein, CEO at Yoga Yoga. “Whether the class takes place in a studio or in the comfort of a student’s home via an online class, Free Day of Yoga is an opportunity for people who are new to yoga to try a class for the first time and for existing students to try a different style of yoga or a different yoga studio.”

According to the 2008 Yoga in America study, 15.8 million U.S. adults practice yoga. The 2008 study also indicated that almost half of current practitioners started practicing yoga to improve their overall health. One significant trend to emerge from the study is the use of yoga as medical therapy. According to the study, nearly 14 million Americans say that a doctor or therapist has recommended yoga to them. In addition, nearly half of all adults agree that yoga would be beneficial if they were undergoing treatment for a medical condition. Research studies have shown yoga to be beneficial for people with a wide variety of health conditions including cardiovascular disease, cancer, arthritis, eating disorders, and chronic pain. General health benefits of yoga include stress relief, increased strength and flexibility, and improved concentration.
