Women make up the majority of practitioners, representing 72-80% according to different surveys. This gender distribution reflects yoga’s Western popularization primarily through female adoption, particularly during the 1970s through early 2000s.
However, the landscape is evolving. Between 2012 and 2016, the number of men practicing yoga in the United States grew from 4 million to 10 million, marking a 150% increase. Male participation is steadily increasing, especially in countries like India and China, where the split is closer to 60:40.
Several factors are driving increased male participation:

- Male celebrity endorsements from athletes and actors
- More diverse class offerings including power yoga and athletic-focused styles
- Reduced stigma around men participating in wellness activities
Age Distribution
The largest group of yoga practitioners falls within the 30-49 age range, representing the core demographic. However, yoga’s reach extends across the entire age spectrum with notable trends:

This group is particularly drawn to digital offerings, social aspects of practice, and fitness-oriented styles. They drive trends in online classes, app-based subscriptions, and social media yoga content.
Ages 30-49 (Core Practitioners): This demographic represents the most consistent and dedicated practitioner base. They typically have higher disposable incomes, attend classes regularly, and invest in premium equipment and retreats.
