VIDEO: Yoga For Absolute Beginners.. Try This!

From Tara Stiles at HuffingtonPost.com:

I’ve heard from several people that they want to start practicing yoga but don’t know where to begin. It’s no secret the benefits of yoga include but are not limited to a healthy body, calm mind, reduced stress, feeling of connectivity with self and the world, increased awareness and sensitivity, and an overall feeling of awesomeness.

A 2008 study by the Harris Interactive Service Bureau on behalf of Yoga Journal shows that 6.9% of U.S. adults, or 15.8 million people, practice yoga. Of current non-yoga people nearly 8%, or 18.3 million Americans, say they are extremely interested in yoga, triple the number from the 2004 study.

According to the American Heart Association’s Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics Update of 2009, an estimated 80 million American adults (approximately 1 in 3) have one or more types of cardiovascular disease. This includes 73,600,000 folks with high blood pressure, 16,800,000 suffering from coronary heart disease, 5,700,000 with heart failure, 6,500,000 stroke victims, and 650,000 with congenital cardiovascular defects. These numbers surpass the 80 million total because many people have more than one of these conditions. Um, Wow.
