From Yogini's desk: Yoga is for Girls!!

No it’s not!!! Maybe we should have talked about this before starting anything but one of the common myths includes the one above. Let’s go over this a little bit. What is Yoga used for anyways?

Answer # 1- for flexibility.
Answer # 2- for attaining composure.
Answer # 3- for gaining spirituality.
Answer # 4- for stretching.
Answer # 5- for looking fabulous.

Well, all the answers are right and show me one man who doesn’t need the above? Now, don’t go around thinking I hate men and this blog is to dis them because it’s not. I just want to clear out certain myths if you will about this wonderful sport...errr... Yoga is not a sport (another myth); it’s a lifestyle but anyways, so that everybody can live peacefully ever after. Om…….

So, to reiterate my point, even though most of the people who practice Yoga are women, it doesn’t mean that men can’t gain from yoga. Bodybuilders, marathon runners or even people like my husband who love Karate and Tennis, can warm up and cool down with Yoga. Some great things you can try with yoga if you really don’t want to do the “Real” yoga are breathing, meditation, lunges and leg stretches.

Here’s to a happier, peaceful and a healthier you!!
