Dear Community,

There is yet another important piece of legislation being considered by Congress that could positively impact the yoga community—the PHIT Act.

What is the PHIT Act?

The PHIT Act (Personal Health Investment Today) allows individuals to place up to $2,000 in pre-tax medical accounts, such as flexible spending accounts (FSAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs), to pay for physical activity expenses, including yoga classes and equipment, to support their health and wellbeing. Today, at a time when access to health and whole health resources is so vital, this legislation would greatly enhance individuals’ ability to experience wellness—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
