Yoga Statistics

Question

I'm looking for occurrence of yoga practice in Canada - either how many have tried it or how many have done it regularly. The question was asked in "National Population Health Survey, 1994. Supplemental surveys: nutrition, safety and accident prevention, smoking, breast-feeding, alcohol use during pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and use of health care services", but I was looking for something a little more up to date. Any ideas?

Answer

Searching in Vince's database at:
http://janus.ssc.uwo.ca/idls/variable.html
reveals that there are questions re yoga in CCHS 1.2 and 2.1, in 2001 and 2002 respectively.

    Topic is: Yoga for Older Adults - An Exploratory Survey of Older Adult Yoga Practitioners.
    I found some Canadian data from 2005....but nothing current.
    Help?
