National Yoga Day is this Saturday, January 23rd and to celebrate, yoga studios across the country are offering free classes. Spearheaded by the Yoga Alliance, Yoga Day aims to introduce newbies to the practice and encourages seasoned yogis to share their love of the various forms.

If you haven’t tried it, why should you try yoga? Yoga is more than just breathing and stretching — though these tentpoles of the practice are extremely beneficial for our health. There are various forms of yoga from gentle, meditative forms like Kripalu to calorie-burning, sweat fests like Power Yoga or Bikram Yoga. So, research the various types and sign up for a free class this weekend!
