First NIH Yoga Week

The National Institute of Health initiated its first annual Yoga Week, May 19 - 23, in Maryland. The press release says, "Highlighting the science and practice of yoga, this five-day series of events will serve NIH employees and the public. Participants will not only learn about the benefits of yoga but also experience them first-hand through stretching and practice. "Speakers include Alan Finger, John Schumacher, Timothy McCall, an assortment of doctors, and representatives from Burt's Bees, and appearances by Weight Watchers, Honest Tea, Whole Foods, and the Alzheimer's Research and Prevention Foundation.Reminds me of Donna Karan's Urban Zen project.
