More people turn to ancient pastime to improve health, mindfulness Over the summer, a number of mass public yoga events were held across the country where people from all walks of life could be seen exercising not just their bodies but their minds too. The scenes were an indication of China's growing number of yoga practitioners drawn to the ancient physical, mental and spiritual practice whose roots stem back to some 5,000 years ago. According to a report on the yoga industry in China, from 2017 to 2021 the number of yoga studios in the country tripled to 42,000, and it's estimated that at least several million people in the country practice yoga regularly, while more people occasionally do so, with the most prominent segment being women. The increase in the number of people who've started practicing yoga, in its many forms, over the past few years is closely related to the nation's Healthy China 2030 initiative first put forward in 2016. In addition to the traditional styles such as Hatha Yoga, Iyengar Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga, modern yoga systems like Rocket Yoga, Yin Yoga and Universal Yoga have emerged and become popular in recent years.
