Trends come and trends go. What roll yoga plays in the trend game of 2010 is yet to be determined, but chances are yoga will only become more popular. One reason why it will see an increase in the participation of our aging population. As Americans grow old they look for an exercise plan that is low-impact. Pilates does it and so does yoga. Another thing today that is worth mentioning is that yoga doesn’t have the stigma of being only for the “earthy crunchy people” Those fond days are long gone. Yoga today is mainstream.
In most department stores you can find yoga clothes. Online fitness stores have a section dedicated to yoga supplies. More and more yoga studios are opening up in the community. And YMCA’s of the world have made it a point to hold yoga classes. After school programs for children in elementary schools are being offered yoga. Kids love it. To them it’s social. Doing the exercises gives kid’s better concentration skills and helps keep their stress level down. Yes, 2010 will once again be a year of yoga.
