The number of people who practiced some form of yoga has grown from 4 million (in 2001) to 20 million (in 2011). yoga classes focus on learning physical poses, which are called asanas. Some yoga classes are designed purely for relaxation. But there are styles of yoga that teach you how to move your body in new ways.
