Handit2 Network Launches Hand it to Yogis

Reach Consumers Predisposed to Purchasing Natural Products

March 7, 2016 - NATURAL PRODUCTS EXPO, ANAHEIM, CA - Fitness trends typically come and  go, but apparently there is no stopping yoga.  A recent Yoga Journal study found that there are now  37 million Americans practicing yoga, or ~11.6% of the US population, up from 20 million in 2012. With so many styles and methods (including power yoga, hot yoga, bikram, ashtanga, vinyasa, kripalu, anurara, kundalini, sivananda and more), there is a yoga style for every taste. Rooted in ancient tradition, yoga is widely known for improving health and promoting relaxation.  

Yoga participants are 72% women, 28% men (source).  They are predisposed to purchasing natural products and are particularly attuned to social and environmental issues.  Over 50% of yogis prefer to eat sustainable foods and live green (compared to a third of non-yogis). Nearly 50% of all yoga participants report donating time to their communities compared to just 26% of non-yoga participants (source).

While 43% of all yogis in the US practice at home, 57% (or 21 million) practice in a yoga studio, health club, or community rec center (source). There is also a thriving industry around yoga conferences, festivals, retreat centers, and teacher training events.  While many think of yoga as a solo endeavor and the antithesis of competitive, there is a competitive yoga scene too.


Hand it to Yogis can help you promote your brand to the coveted yoga demographic.  All-in, we can distribute 500,000 samples through our USA network of yoga studios, health clubs, community rec centers, and retreat centers (we can distribute another 50,000 samples to yogis in Canada too). Through partnerships we are also able to distribute samples at yoga conferences, festivals, and teacher training events.  

If you are interested in promoting your brand to yogis, let us know by emailing us at info@handit2.com or calling us at 303-532-4437.
