What do 45 of the world’s leading health experts have in common?
YogaHub’s 1st Virtual World Yoga Conference on yoga, health and happiness is scheduled to take place from February 19 to 21, 2010.
Every individual from around the globe will have the opportunity to participate in this virtual health conference through the power of the web and private conference phone lines.

Participants are free to focus on their specific area of interest or broaden their knowledge by partaking in sessions from all three areas.
