These days, when about 10.3 million Americans are jobless and countless more worry they will be, lovers of yoga（瑜珈）are eager to keep peace by twisting their bodies.

    “People want to do something relaxing and physically active. My experience is that attendance in classes has gone significantly up in the past few months,” said yoga instructor David, who turned to teaching yoga when his advertising jobs dried up in the recession       （不景氣）of 2001.He admitted his private customers have fallen off a bit, but "generally, my long-term private clients are financially well-off and eager to recommend me to their friends."

"We've added yoga classes" said Nicole Moke, spokeswoman for the fitness centers. "We add classes every January."

 And if the attack of hard times should fall upon their well-heeled membership?

 "We've added a lot of meditation classes. Our members seem to be very excited about that," she added.

California-based Yoga Works agrees that business is successful. "In our experience attendance is up year over year," Marketing Director Terri Seiden said.

"We expect to see this trend continue. In difficult times practicing yogis are more unwilling than ever to give-up their practice," she said from her office in Santa Monica, California. Seiden said Yoga Works opened a new studio in January and has plans for more. " We are hiring more teachers and studio staff," she said.

So is yoga a recession-proof shelter from the storms of economic ?

"We don't say yoga is recession-proof but it does work," Seiden said. "Yoga is one way that people can take care of multiple needs - it is a complete workout for your mind and body, a form of stress relief, entertainment and there is a sense of community as well."
