The Men

I feel I should dedicate a blog post to that gender - you know the ones, regularly spotted at pubs, sporting events, glued to the tv, incapable of multi-tasking or asking for help, find toilet humour a great way to pick up a woman, make up half of the population, I think you know who I mean.

While two thirds of the yoga class is made up of the better sex, bikram is proving increasingly popular with males. Not just the old males but young ones too, dedicated, committed, sometimes good looking males.

This poses a problem for me. I'm anti the gym in part because I'm too self conscious to sweat in front of good looking guys. Luckily with yoga, people are often focused on their own practise and don't notice those around them.

I tend to find that males are much more willing to go to the front row than the women - even if they have been practising for a shorter amount of time. They will try and kick in the balancing posture even when they shouldn't and they are less likely to sit down, perservering at all costs. Maybe they stand out more but the guys who do yoga seem to very focused, they take a more holistic approach to it, seeing it as something more than exercise and that it is their mission to master the postures and attend as regularly as they can.


Some of these guys are just as willing to expose themselves, for want of a better word, in very skimpy speedos, not my thing but I suppose they have worked just as hard for their body so are entitled to!
