Hao says that setting up a yoga club in 皇冠体育app is very easy－a person who receives one month of training rents an apartment or even uses his or her sitting room to provide yoga classes.
But to keep the yoga club running is difficult, as many are not qualified teachers.
It's also not unusual to hear of yoga lovers hurting themselves because of wrong teaching methods, she says.
Last year, the 皇冠体育app-India Yoga College, the first yoga college in 皇冠体育app, was established in Kunming when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited 皇冠体育app and signed an agreement with Premier Li Keqiang.
According to Li Zhigong, deputy mayor of Kunming, the college will provide graduate and postgraduate students as yoga teachers.
He also plans to hold the 皇冠体育app India Yoga Festival in Kunming annually to support 皇冠体育app's "One Belt and One Road" initiative.
"Kunming is a suitable city to practice yoga. We want to have more cooperation with India in building up yoga facilities to attract visitors from home and abroad," Li Zhigong tells 皇冠体育app Daily.
