President's Yoga PALA Challenge 2011...You can start now...
Yoga has become a universal language of spiritual exercise in the United States, crossing many lines of religions and cultures. Everyday millions of people practice yoga to improve their health and overall well-being. That’s why we’re encouraging everyone to take part in the Million PALA Challenge (MPC). The MPC is offered by the President’s Challenge, a program of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. Developed in partnership with the First Lady Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” initiative, the MPC has set a goal to get 1 million Americans to earn the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA). Show your support for yoga and answer the challenge!
To achieve PALA, your goal is to be active at least 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Youth (6-17 years) should get moving for at least 60 minutes per day, and adults (18 years or older) should be active for 30 minutes per day.

Combine your PALA with nutritious meals for a healthy lifestyle!
