Really, it was an interesting maneouver to watch - I found myself almost admiring the guy interact with said girl. I am a guy and find yoga a very good part of a balanced exercise program. As much as I was comfortable with my body (due to years of martial arts training), I felt freaked out when I realized that I was the only guy in the room! But you’ll also want to commit to practicing at home in a dedicated space, such as a corner of your living room or bedroom. As to why men don't want to do yoga, well, it's because girly-fied in the US what with the candles and pretty matts and general Oprafication of it. I have to agree with the analysis about men and yoga. In a good yoga class, by the way, there will not be much emphasis on doing poses in exactly the same way as other members of the group, since good teachers understand that bodies are different. I don't mean this is any derogratory way. For others, it’s a spiritual practice, and for many, a way of life.

I used to take a yoga class at a wonderful place in Chicago called the Yoga Circle that has been around for years, the teachers go to India every year, and does a good job of teaching the non-aerobic and spiritual parts of yoga without being overbearing or freaking out people who would be uncomfortable with too much spiritual stuff (my teacher was a Christian, but said that she loved the peace that came with saying ohm and the quietness of her practice). PS: my sense of the guys who came to the Yoga Circle were that they had back problems, or in a few particularly resourceful cases, what is yoga thought they could pick someone up. We were only able to complete a few exercises because she talked so much and we stretched so little. The moment you think "This is enough"..thats it,..motivation will drop and few excuses will come up. I think I only scratch the surface of the meditative benefits of yoga referred to in the posting, but it does make me feel very calm and relaxed in a somewhat different way than other exercises do.

When we do, we can’t help it but want to serve others in this way. Working out at the gym in the usual way makes me feel like I'm being barked at by a drill sergeant, even when it's just me giving myself the orders. These plans often include exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, planks, and cardio activities like walking or jogging. However, props like blocks or straps can offer support and assistance with certain poses. Gorgeous room, a big loft space with lots of plants at one end and all sorts of props needed for Iyengar yoga. However, there are some super helpful and affordable props that I recommend having on hand when learning the poses. Ensuring we bring you the simplest, yet deepest learning experience. At least that has been my experience. Introspection has its place, but it's inherently a private and unstructured activity rather than social and directed, at least for me.

By the way, Ashtanga yoga (at least as we see it in NYC) is tough! The small yoga studio that I frequent has one ashtanga yoga class. On the other hand, good teachers will correct your form as yoga poses do not work well unless the proper muscles are engaged. Since muscle imbalances created by weak stabilizing muscles are a big cause of injuries, this is a good thing. Balancing poses can be especially good for this. I doubt I will ever be as capable as some beginner women in doing some standard poses. However, don't underestimate the presence of women in traditional Indian yoga practice. Yoga can also work smaller stabilizing muscles very well, generally muscles that are missed by weights or running. Didn't like either. In each case the benefits were too time-consuming to attain as compared to alternative forms of exercise (stretching, running). Felt like I intruded upon women only yoga class. I would like to try it again. Therefore yoga is consciousness, consciousness of being the observer, the witness of the mind. Yoga is accessible for just about everyone.
