SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The latest "Yoga in America" study, just released by Yoga Journal (yogajournal.com) shows that 20.4 million Americans practice yoga, compared to 15.8 million from the previous 2008 study*, an increase of 29 percent. In addition, practitioners spend $10.3 billion a year on yoga classes and products, including equipment, clothing, vacations, and media. The previous estimate from the 2008 study was $5.7 billion*.
Data for this survey, the most comprehensive study of the consumer yoga market available, were collected by Sports Marketing Surveys USA on behalf of Yoga Journal.
The 2012 study indicates that 8.7 percent of U.S. adults, or 20.4 million people, practice yoga. Of current non-practitioners, 44.4 percent of Americans call themselves "aspirational yogis"people who are interested in trying yoga.
"The number of practitioners and the amount they spend has increased dramatically in the last four years," says Bill Harper, vice president and group publisher of Active Interest Media's Healthy Living Group. "Companies that want to advertise to the health-and-fitness market for women will want to make sure that yoga is a strong segment in their target."

Gender: 82.2 percent are women; 17.8 percent are men.
Age: The majority of today's yoga practitioners (62.8 percent) fall within the age range of 18-44.
