Yoga gets dunked on a lot. Even more when you are a guy doing yoga. It is seen as a feminine and hippie kind of thing.

But that’s a dumb way of thinking, of course.

Yoga is good for flexibility, training your balance, focussing on your breath and staying calm and it even trains strength. A daily yoga session of ten minutes can keep you stretched, flexible, and calm.

As I said, yoga for women is already pretty popular. I know multiple women who do yoga on a regular basis. Men, not so much. But I want to change that, and inspire men to step out of their comfort zone, break the patriarchic view of yoga and keep them fitter.

Who in here has experience with yoga already? Please share your tips and visions!

    Western people see it mostly as a form of exercise and maybe, for people more involved, as a breathing method to keep composure and stay calm. The goal of yoga itsel is much broader though, as it aims to help you reach Self Realisation. Now, that’s where the interpretation of the practice comes in place.
