“We are all looking for ways to take an active role in managing our health.
There are readily available solutions that don’t necessarily require insurance or even a doctor,”

“Preventative wellness can be accessed by simply unrolling a yoga mat!”

"National Yoga Month is an awareness campaign to inspire a healthy lifestyle"

"I believe yoga as a mindbody fitness movement has the potential to substantially improve heath care of our Nation".

"Prevention is the key. We can not afford our heath care system based on disease mangement anymore.
I believe the only option to reform health care is to focus on prevention."

Johannes R. Fisslinger, co-founder of National Yoga Month

"Yoga is such a powerful tool in helping you to integrate into your body...after you center you are able to listen and fine tune how your body functions creating optimum health and awareness in your life. I adore the power that Yoga has to heal body mind and spirit"

Mariel Hemingway, actress and author of Mariel's Kitchen: Simple Ingredients for a Delicious and Satisfying Life

“Scientific studies have already found yoga to benefit people with 50 different health conditions, and the list keeps growing. Yoga is also great preventive medicine, and a way to be happier, and more relaxed and effective in your life. National Yoga Month 2009 is providing a vital service by spreading this message, and by bringing yoga to underprivileged kids who otherwise might not have the opportunity.”

Timothy McCall, MD, Medical Editor Yoga Journal, Author of Yoga as Medicine

About National Yoga Month

In 2008, the Department of Health and Human Services designated September as National Yoga Month, one of a select number of national health observances. That same year, thousands of yoga and health enthusiasts participated in a 10 City Yoga Health Festival Tour featuring yoga classes, lectures, music, entertainment, exhibits. Since then, the initiative has taken root as a global awareness campaign, educating, inspiring and motivating people to achieve a healthy lifestyle.

The Yoga Month campaign is administered by the Yoga Health Foundation, a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization registered in the State of California. All funds benefit the national awareness campaign and yoga health education for at-risk kids in schools.
