For years  Burlington, Vermont, a beautiful lakefront city, has been a destination for health, natural living, organic food, and yoga.  BYC annually gathers top-notch yoga instructors, students of all levels and backgrounds, and healing arts practitioners- all under one roof – to empower positive change and create community.

BYC attracts devoted yoga students and teachers who seek the ultimate yoga experience — the opportunity to interact with awesome instructors and students in beautiful settings.

Burlington Yoga Conference features great marketing opportunities including a Yoga Lifestyle Silent Auction filled with sought-after products and services.   Place your products and services directly in the hands health-conscious consumers. Enhance brand presence and leverage the benefits of face-to-face marketing.

And this is just the beginning!

Align your company with this growing health and fitness trend.  Here’s some neat statistics from * Yoga Journal’s “Yoga in America” 2005 Market Study.

• Over the past decade, yoga has grown from a niche market into the hottest sector of America’s health and fitness industry:
• Americans spend $2.95 billion a year on yoga classes and products, including equipment, clothing, vacations and media (DVDs, videos, books and magazines).*
• 7.5% of U.S. adults, or 16.5 million people, practice yoga. In addition, almost one in seven non-practitioners, or about 25 million people, say they intend to try yoga within the next 12 months.*
