The Yoga Care Foundation Promotes Healthy, Active Lifestyles as Sponsor of Make the Movement Day
Austin, TX, April 22, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Yoga Care Foundation in Austin, TX, is partnering with the Active Life Movement to support Make the Movement Day on May 5, 2010. Make the Movement Day is the ACTIVE Life Movement's annual, day-long initiative encouraging the public to create and share their "moments" of physical activity, healthy eating, and personal and environmental health to promote healthy, active lifestyles.
As a sponsor of Make the Movement Day, the Yoga Care Foundation is inviting the general public to participate in Make the Movement Day by taking a 15-minute yoga break at lunch time on May 5, 2010. “Be a part of the Movement and demonstrate your commitment to a healthier lifestyle,” says Rich Goldstein, founder of The Yoga Care Foundation. “Visit the event website at www.makethemovementday.org to participate in the Yoga Care Foundation’s planned moment or create your own moment. Let’s see how many healthy, active moments we can create together on May 5.”
Founded in 2007, the Yoga Care Foundation was formed to enhance yoga's role in addressing the health and well-being of the community at large. Its three primary objectives are to research the physiological, psychological and therapeutic effects of yoga; make yoga available to disadvantaged communities; and educate the public about the varied benefits of yoga. According to the 2008 Yoga in America study, 6.9 percent or 15.8 million U.S. adults practice yoga. The 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, 6.1 percent, or 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.
