Additionally, 15% of participants enjoy daily yoga sessions, indicating a strong commitment to the practice.
Indoor and outdoor yoga were the two primary settings preferred by the participants. Although indoor yoga was favored by 65% of respondents, 35% expressed a preference for practicing yoga outdoors. This highlights the versatility and adaptability of yoga as a practice that can be enjoyed in various environments.
