💙 No shade to the ladies, but this is a shout out to the boys of yoga!
In all the classes I teach (as well as events and retreats), I have men that practise with me consistently, week in and week out. Many of them have been coming for years.
🥋🏌️♂️🚴♂️ Most of these chaps have a sports background: martial arts, hockey, golf, mountain biking, hiking, weights…and they came to yoga initially to improve their flexibility so they can be even better at the main activities they love, and continue to move with more ease.
In the case of some my male 121 clients, years of football and racquet sports have caused joint issues (and hip replacements etc) and they are looking to regain and retain mobility.
I love the buoyant energy that these guys bring to class, as well as their focus and commitment. The long term practitioners have learned to breathe fully, move smoothly and embrace the stillness of the practice as well as the movement 🧘♂️
I was watching abit of the footie tonight on the tele with my husband and watched the team warming up: spotted the players doing Skandasana (side lunges), yogi squat, down dog and wide legged folds on the pitch…
Gents: yoga is a brilliant complement to your life: enabling you to move better, keeping you more youthful, helping you sleep better and manage stress. I love it when you come to class!
