Santa Barbara, California (PRWEB) February 19, 2014

Started by two founders who have struggled to fit yoga into their busy work and family schedules, Audible Yoga seeks to answer a common problem: how to do yoga more often.

Audible Yoga's goal is to help yogis who want to unplug from televisions and computer screens to practice yoga. It allows students to follow a teachers voice and practice wherever and whenever they can. It also helps those who do not have access to regular yoga teachers or cannot get to scheduled classes. Essentially, anyone who struggles to fit yoga into their schedule will benefit from yoga by Audio through Audible Yoga.

Starting February 16, 2014 Audible Yoga is a Kickstarter project (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1349751609/audible-yoga-practice-yoga-by-listening). This project seeks funding to record yoga classes and build the website to support teachers and students. The founders of Audible Yoga are putting their own skills and experience into the project. They believe that Kickstarter is the best way to reach those interested in contributing class recordings and doing yoga by audio. Its also the best way to test the concept. The Audible Yoga Kickstarter Project hopes to raise just $10,000 in just 33 days and is offering pledge rewards that include:

According to a joint study by Yoga Journal and Sports Marketing Surveys in 2012 (Yoga in America 2012), almost 40% of the more than 20 million Americans who practice yoga consider themselves to be experienced at yoga. Nearly half of all yoga participants want to practice at home rather than in a classroom setting. Audible Yogas own survey found the desire to practice yoga outside the classroom setting was over 67% with 23% of those responding saying they would be willing to try yoga by audio (without video).

Audible Yoga makes it possible to take classes that youre comfortable with no matter where you are - on vacation, at business meetings, etc. It gives you the opportunity to try out different classes and different styles of yoga without having to travel to the teacher. Even if your favorite teacher is in a different part of the country, you have access to their classes. With Audible Yoga, youll be able to do yoga anywhere and have that trusted guidance of a teacher, said Ashley Wilson, a photographer and yogi.

The top motivations for starting a yoga practice are to improve flexibility, followed closely by general conditioning, and stress relief. The physical benefits reported by yogis who practice regularly include greater flexibility, reduced back pain, improvements in strength and physical fitness as well as weight loss and better sleep. The mental benefits of yoga cannot be underestimated either with nearly 70% of yogis reporting reductions in anxiety, depression, and insomnia as a direct result of practicing yoga.

Audible Yoga seeks to connect yoga teachers and students in a way that is not currently met through other avenues for practicing yoga, specifically yoga by video. In fact, most yogis who use yoga videos report they only listen, they dont watch. The technological overhead and requirement for a live Internet connection for most yoga videos is a burden that costs yoga students the ability to practice more often and limits where they can practice. By disconnecting the yoga practice from the display screen, yoga teachers around the world will be able to deliver their unique classes to far more students without the expense or burden of video camera equipment.

Audible Yoga makes sense for teachers in addition to students because the first thing I think of when my students are out of town, and theyre used to my cues, my voice, is that they can now continue their practice with my class recordings. It will give yoga teachers the opportunity to connect with many more students - all of whom are seeking the ability to do yoga anywhere. As a yoga teacher and a yogi, yoga isnt about going to a studio to practice. Its about living your life and sharing the freedom and experience of yoga wherever you are, said Pixie Kastrup of PixieYogaFlow.

Audible Yoga will have features to support both yoga students and teachers. Yoga students will be able to search for new classes and teachers. Yoga teachers will earn royalties from their classes and from the members who sign up.

Practicing yoga for at least three hours a week for three months reduced the fatigue and inflammation in breast cancer survivors, compared with survivors who did no yoga, researchers reported.

And the more yoga, the greater the change.

At six months three months after the formal yoga had ended fatigue was 57 percent lower in the women who had done yoga, compared with those who had not. Inflammation, measured by blood tests, was reduced by up to 20 percent, said the researchers, from the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

We also think the results could easily generalize to other groups of people who have issues with fatigue and inflammation, Janice Kiecolt-Glaser, the lead researcher and a psychiatry and psychology professor at Ohio State, said in a statement.

Two hundred breast cancer survivors were divided into two groups: one that took two 90-minute Hatha yoga classes a week, and one that did no yoga. The yoga practitioners also were encouraged to do additional yoga at home, and did so an average of almost 25 minutes a day. The women were yoga novices.

The researchers noted that yoga can be tailored to various abilities the women in the study were ages 27 to 76 and has been shown to help with mood and sleep among cancer survivors.

The study did not include aerobic exercise, and the participants did not lose weight.

And that, Kiecolt-Glaser said by telephone, led to a surprise. Other research had shown that inflammation a mechanism for loss of function and disability was unlikely to be reduced without weight loss. But she said there could be several reasons why her subjects had reduced inflammation without losing weight, including that yoga helps sleep and stress, which are associated with inflammation.

The women practiced Hatha yoga, a restorative form that was recommended by an expert in Columbus, Ohio, Kiecolt-Glaser said.

Breast cancer treatment can be exhausting, and that can lead to less activity, which in turn can lead to a decreased capacity for activity in what Kiecolt-Glaser called a downward spiral.
