My Yoga Online Merges With Gaiam TV

BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaiam, Inc. (NASDAQ: GAIA), a lifestyle media company, reported today that My Yoga Online has merged with Gaiam TV. MyYogaOnline.com is an online video streaming service founded in 2004 by Jason Jacobson and Michelle Trantina with last 12 months revenue of $2.6 million. Having an equal subscription price of $9.95 per month, My Yoga is a perfect complement to the Gaiam TV service offering.

Coming soon, all subscribers will have access to full content offerings from both My Yoga Online and Gaiam TV for $9.95 per month. This includes over 6,000 titles in yoga, meditation, fitness, natural health, spirituality, alternative knowledge, inspiring documentaries and more.

"We are very excited to merge with Gaiam TV and see the synergies of our companies as an ideal next step to expanding our online yoga and wellness initiatives," said My Yoga Online CEO Jason Jacobson. "We were the first in the online yoga realm, and grew from a small company with very few resources to the world's largest online yoga streaming service. Now with Gaiam TV's technology and multi-platform distribution, we are poised to take My Yoga Online's growth to the next level very quickly."

At their core, My Yoga Online and Gaiam TV's missions are the same: To provide tools and insight to our global community, helping us all to be healthier, happier and more aware.
