Sometimes it can be hard to explain how yoga benefits for women differ from those for men, children or the elderly. Fortunately, a movie released in September explains how salutary yoga is for women.

Yoga instructor Tari Prinster told KSDK News St. Louis that the documentary is quite innovative, depicting how women use yoga in places ranging from the high-rises of New York City to the plains of Kenya.
"This movie is groundbreaking in that aspect, in that it brings the importance of yoga to everyone," she explained, quoted by the news source.
Narrated by actress Annette Bening, Yogawoman aims to explain the history of the spread of yoga. Its official website notes that while men brought the practice out of Asia, women have been largely responsible for repopularizing it in the 20th century.
Today, the mind-body regimen offers women the chance to reduce their menopause symptoms, shed family-related stress or try yoga poses for pregnancy, among many other applications.
