:DHello everyone im new here im not really sure how to aproach this I am an avid gym member and yoga seems interesting from what i see and read its kind of weird being male no?
I don’t see anything weird about it. Fact of the matter is that classically speaking, yoga’s roots are such where only men practiced. It is some bizzare Western programming that creates this veil of ignorance that men and yoga do not go together.
However, I believe it is one of those situations where “whether you are right or wrong, you’re right”. What you believe becomes your reality.
It’s not weird at all…like IA said, it’s just the macho men who kind of put that stigma on yoga. Most of my classes are about 50/50 men and women.
Welcome and I think what must be weird for you now is that I am the second man who will be telling you that the only thing weird is the ignorance of those who think yoga is a weird thing which men don’t do.
yea thats what i have noticed a lot is this 50/50 ratio of men to women mostly couples, i would definately be the young among the group, are there any suggestions on possible videos to be seen?
I’m a dude and am sometimes the only guy in my yoga class. Its OK because all of the ladies are friends of mine now. We used to have an Army colonel, airborne ranger type in the class as well. He was a great guy and I don’t think anyone would dare say he was less of a man, etc.
In the west it can seem like yoga is only for women (just look at the pages of Yoga Journal, etc) but its for everyone.
