Overview
The number of Americans practicing yoga today is around 40 million—nearly double the number that practiced in 2010. The spiking figure reflects an undeniably positive trend. Why? Because yoga provides all kinds of benefits—benefits in the areas of physical, emotional, and mental health. Doctors are even prescribing yoga to patients, and for multiple reasons. It can ease pain, lower blood pressure, protect you against stress, and even boost your immunity.
In our online course “Yoga and You,” you’ll find six information-packed sections to help you get into the practice—or to expand your current routine. Each section offers lessons presented in different formats, including photo features, interactive pages, quiz questions, expandable lists, and audio slideshows. At the heart of our course is a series of videos demonstrating more than 30 yoga exercises.
