Yoga for Men


hi I’m Veronica watchmojo.com and today
we’re learning the benefits yoga can
have on a man’s health and love life
why has Yoga so long been associated
with women men in Western culture
generally tend to you know do a lot of
sports and you know get a little bit of
testosterone going and the ego going
where is back in the day in India or
more in Eastern culture it was primarily
men and young boys that did yoga so this
is a very Western culture kind of thing
what are the benefits of yoga for men it
can definitely you know strengthen tone
the muscles it can make the muscles
longer and leaner it can eliminate
lactic acid from the body so if you’ve
had you know a long workout and you just
feel like there’s this really hard
build-up let’s say for example and your
thighs it can help eliminate lock to
gossip which a lot of athletes know
anyway a major thing with men is that
sometimes it’s really hard to let go of
their minds what they what they need to
do what they need to get done and I
think yoga is really the perfect way to
just come in let go of what’s happened
in your day let go of what’s going to
happen in the rest of the day and just
tune into the moment and and you know
let the mind settle a little bit now if
you’re an athlete well yoga helped your
performance especially in the style that
I teach the more that you align the body
the more that the body biomechanically
will function optimally once again you
know flexibility stamina even yoga can
even be used as a therapeutic to help an
athlete after injuries or even if you’re
not an athlete if you’re having hip
problems back problems I can definitely
therapeutic once again the body’s
aligned well speaking of performance how
will yoga help you in the bedroom
yoga postures work on the endocrine
system and there’s parts of the
endocrine system that relate to let’s
say the sexual organs of the body and
they will definitely help not just
increase blood flow but help that in in
certain ways yeah
now men are often intimidated by yoga
because they’re not flexible will this
be an issue in class more that you do it
the more flexible you get and how can
you expect to get flexible if you’re not
doing it on somewhat of a regular basis
finally what do you want every man to
know about yoga I know there’s an
initial intimidation coming into a class
maybe full of women but into a class in
general where they might not feel like
they know what they’re doing but the
more that you come the more you’ll get
used to it more so because in a lot of
ways is still a male-dominated society
or a patriarchal society that the more
that consciousness of man is uplifted
the more that it helps the whole world
and everybody you know in it so I think
that’s amazing thank you very much oh
thank you so much
