What the Data Tells Us
Grand View Research estimates global yoga-market revenue at $138.7 billion in 2026 and forecasts 9.9% CAGR for 2026-2033. Yoga Alliance separately estimated 38.4 million US practitioners in 2022; that national estimate should not be presented as a worldwide total.
The 2016 Yoga in America study estimated 36.7 million U.S. practitioners. Separately, CDC reports an age-adjusted 16.9% of U.S. adults practiced yoga in the past year in 2022; these studies use different populations and methods.
Moving Communities reports online booking among 82% of responding English leisure-centre users in its June-October 2025 survey. This self-selected sample does not establish a yoga-only booking share or a revenue effect.
ClassPass reports 28% year-over-year growth in yoga reservations in its 2025 platform analysis; this does not measure studio-count growth. HFA's 2026 operator survey separately reports 8.6% median revenue growth for participating single-site fitness businesses in 2025; that is a growth measure, not annual yoga-studio revenue.
