I have been practicing Yoga for many years and am currently in teacher training
While there are men in yoga ... teachers and students Men are still a minority in the practice
Over the ears this inequality has improved yet it remains
I would like to have a discussion on why you think this is
and what can be done to fix this
and please this discussion is not limited to men If any female teachers or students have any input please feel free to join the discussion

I think there are a lot of reasons. I have a martial arts background, and that environment can be really macho, which make contrasting arts as Yoga, gymnastics or similar, seen as not macho.
And I think many men feel awkward being the only, probably stiff, man in a room with many, flexible women. And I guess they can be afraid to be seen as pervs, only being there to look at women.
