Yogawoman explores a global shift that has changed the face of yoga forever and transformed the lives of millions of over-stimulated, overscheduled multitasking modern women. Although an estimated 17 million women in North America practice yoga today, and have made it a multibillion-dollar industry, it was originally a rigid discipline taught and practiced primarily by men. Led by a new generation of dynamic female teachers, modern yoga has been adapted for a woman's body and needs, and has evolved into a practice that supports activism on behalf of people and the planet.
