YOGA FOR EVERYONE

 

                    WHY MORE MEN SHOULD TRY YOGA

Alright world! Let's start with the one message we want you to take from this blog...

If you think yoga is an exercise geared more towards females, you are WRONG!

Today, there are more yoga studios and classes than ever before, as the core or you can say origin of the yoga practice comes from the India, but still many people particularly men remain confused and sacred about what happens inside those classes and how they feel about it.

Men generally think that yoga is only meant for the female as it not define there male dominance and kind of soft like female so the yoga is mostly meant for female.

If a guy mentions to his friends that he wants to try yoga, the chances are he’ll receive some weird looks in return. I mean it’s rare you’ll come across many men who are willing to break out in a Bharadvaja’s Twist for their group of friends. But like most common misconceptions, the weird looks stem from being uneducated.

THE STIGMA OF MEN AND EXERCISE

A lot of men are misinformed when it comes to exercise. The stigma around men and exercise has always been the “macho” look from the outset. As men, we want to be masculine and proud. We are all stereotyped into believing a gym’s purpose is to build muscle, become stronger, faster, fitter, and take mirror selfies – but we shouldn’t (especially the last one).

It’s no secret most men consider yoga or even Pilates as physical activities more suited to females – but can you blame them? It’s hard to not be influenced by social media these days, or even escape it. How many males do you see in the marketing for yoga? Not many… Until recently.

Nowadays, more men are finding the confidence to try new forms of movement, including yoga. More people are starting to choose exercises for themselves, not society. Men are beginning to realise the importance of yoga and the positive effects it has on their bodies.

WHAT EXACTLY IS YOGA?

Yoga is a 5,000-year-old lifestyle discipline from India, however, the yoga we commonly practice in Indian culture is made up of movement, mindfulness, and breath control. Most classes include a series of poses, done either statically or dynamically, with a strong emphasis on the breath. Yoga offers the powerful benefits of movement and there’s many different styles, meaning anyone can do it, regardless of your age and fitness level.

All yoga styles can help balance your body, mind, and spirit, but they achieve it in various ways.

Some yoga styles are intense and vigorous. Others are relaxing and meditative. No matter which type you choose, yoga is a great way to stretch and strengthen your body, focus your mind, and relax your spirit.

IT’S BECOMING A TREND FOR EVERYONE

As the world moves more towards balancing out gender gaps, we are seeing a lot more men grab a mat. Exercise is receiving a huge amount of support in the world right now, with everyone seeing the benefits it can have for people all ages, shapes, and sizes.

Mostly in the western culture Yoga is getting its root and many men and female are imfluenced by the sacred practice of yoga.

HOW YOGA BENEFITS MALES

Males are commonly not as flexible as females. It can be argued that the benefits are increased for males, who generally have tighter muscle groups.

How many times have you gotten out of bed or up from your desk and thought to yourself, “wow I’m stiff as a board”? There is an easy solution to combat that and it’s yoga.

Here are a few benefits of yoga for men:

Increases flexibility

Improves balance

Enhance strength through range of motion

Injury prevention

Relieve chronic pain (particularly lower back)

Improves breathing

It enhances your overall health

It’s the ultimate stress reliever 

In the last word i just wanted to conclude that yoga practice is not just hinduism or sanatana Dharma practice yoga is originated by the Adiyogi (Shiva) but not for only hindu people is for every one in the world and also for both Male and Female.
