It is only recently that the practice of Yoga has become widely accepted as a form of exercise in today’s mainstream population. More and more Yoga studios have popped up and gyms and spas have added regular classes to their schedules. This is good news! As I’ve mentioned countless times, the benefits of Yoga are many. Reducing stress, meditating, stretching and cleansing-all these things are important. Another huge plus with adding Yoga to your routine is increased flexibility and range of motion-here is where you guys come in. The human male, by nature, is less flexible than us gals, and there’s no argument they are more muscular in build. Many men feel afraid they cannot participate in Yoga because they aren’t flexible enough. I beg to differ! Flexibility comes with time, and we all start somewhere-the only way to limber up and loosen those muscles is with practice. With each breath and stretch, each time going a little deeper-you will begin to see results! Where you may not have been able to hang in a forward fold, someday your hands will touch the ground. In more and more classes I attend and/or teach, the participants are men, and they are loving it. They say it helps them relax, get a workout, AND increase their flexibility, which enhances their other favorite sports like golf and running. So gentlemen, don’t be shy, drop into the Aspen Club and Spa soon and try a Yoga class. You’ll be glad you did.
