The Path of Yoga in America Today

When YRS began hosting its annual conference 33 years ago, few
Americans knew what the word Yoga meant, and even fewer had ever
taken a Yoga class.  Today, 20 million Americans say they practice Yoga and they spend an estimated $6 billion a year on classes and related products!

Dr. Terri Kennedy is President of Power Living Enterprises, Inc. and a
leading expert in Health and Productivity Management.  With an MBA
from Harvard, a Ph.D. in World Religions, and training in Holistic Health
and Yoga, she offers a multi-disciplinary path to an authentic, healthy
and purposeful life.

She is a National Spokesperson for the American Heart Association and
is Chair of the Board of Yoga Alliance, an organization that sets
standards for Yoga teaching in the United States. Her work has been
featured on CNN, NBC, Martha Stewart Living Radio, and in the New
York Times, Prevention, Yoga Journal and Oprah’s book, Live Your Best
Life!  She is the author of three books and a relaxation CD.

Yoga in America has become a big business. What are the implications
of this?  Can you “brand” or “franchise” wisdom, health, spirituality?
Dr. Kennedy will share her perspectives as a nationally known
Executive and Life Coach.
