Yoga is a popular physical exercise activity with mental health benefits. Public and academic libraries have offered free yoga as their primary movement-based program.
In an attempt to bolster wellness and connect to the health sciences community, an academic health sciences library offered free yoga as a ten-week trial series in summer 2016. At the end of the trial series, weekly attendance and online feedback data determined that this series should continue.
Yoga provides health professionals and students with a welcomed midday break from a stressful work environment. Additionally, by partnering with yoga instructor trainee programs, the financial burden is low for the library.

为了促进健康并与健康科学社区建立联系，一所学术健康科学图书馆在2016年夏季提供了为期十周的免费瑜伽试验课程。在试验课程结束时，每周的出勤情况和在线反馈数据表明该课程应该继续开展。
瑜伽为健康专业人员和学生提供了一个从紧张的工作环境中解脱出来的受欢迎的午间休息方式。此外，通过与瑜伽教练培训项目合作，图书馆的经济负担较低。
