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. Rachel Permuth-Levine, Ph.D., MSPH, acting director for the Office of Strategic and Innovative Programs at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), who originated the idea of NIH Yoga Week explains, "Yoga is an energizing activity to incorporate into your lifestyle. Whether you're a novice or experienced student, we encourage you to learn from and enjoy the activities during Yoga Week."
