As everybody knows, American football, basketball, baseball and hockey are deeply rooted in North American sports tradition. The Super Bowl is followed by more than 100 million U.S. citizens and even the NBA Finals, as well as the World Series each attract an eight-digit number of viewers annually. But despite the fact that football is not a big deal in the U.S, it is surprisingly popular amongst young adults in the States.

Even though their national team failed to qualify, some 38 percent of all U.S. respondents in the age of 18 to 29 stated that they are likely to follow the FIFA World Cup anyway. This by no means reaches the share of potential followers of the Super Bowl, yet it hovers around the same rate of the NBA Finals and the World Series’ viewership in this age bracket.

At Statista we paid homage to yoga on International Yoga Day (June 21) with an infographic about the different styles in which you can practice this millenary tradition. According to Yoga Alliance, the body representing certified yoga instructors, there are six main styles of yoga (like ‘Bikram Yoga’ in which the practice takes places in a heated room, or ‘Vinyasa Yoga’, in which the postures flow quickly from one to the other). Besides those, there are also specific styles for certain participants, like pregnant women and seniors.
