I don't pretend to speak for anyone other than myself and my opinions and experiences have obviously been formulated by the environment and society that I grew up and live in - and in that society, practising yoga (if you happen to be a guy) is most definitely not the norm. As you can probably tell from reading this and other posts, I'm relatively new to yoga myself and acutely aware that I have much to learn and horizons to expand. It's all part of the journey right.YBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17899251607974232069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084720953977211809.post-89996120727338730762011-01-24T00:58:27.335+00:002011-01-24T00:58:27.335+00:00Er - I think you will find YB that outside the whi...Er - I think you will find YB that outside the white, affluent, wishy-washy, liberal yoga most written about online at EJ and similar ANDOCENTRIC CONSPIRACY SITES you will find a yoga DOMINATED by men - misogyny and patriarhcal templates are common in yogas' largest demographs that are the Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh traditions. Before looking at the question of minority issues it would be good to geta clearer picture of who ARE the minorities - and in these terms the yoga you are mainly concerned with here IS in the minority. When we look up from our computer screen into the distance, towards India and the Pacific Rim THAT yoga can APPEAR smaller - but that LOOKING doesn't make the object small. It is more a question of the PERSPECTIVE of the observer - and many bloggers in America and Europe simply spend too much time writing about yoga and not enough time OBSERVING - Mr Weisenberg being a good case in point perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084720953977211809.post-35902711794178412032011-01-22T20:38:13.861+00:002011-01-22T20:38:13.861+00:00You can also see this post on Elephant Journal

Many guys still think yoga is for women only. <br /><br />Hmm... you've just given me a new blog post idea. I think I'm going to write a new post titled "Why More Blokes should do Yoga" :-)Nobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655577410721103577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3084720953977211809.post-24157494024801155612010-11-17T23:37:55.381+00:002010-11-17T23:37:55.381+00:00These are very real, liked this post very much, I ...These are very real, liked this post very much, I wrote the 10 most common excuses that keep people away from yoga but these are very much bloke specific... I would say that one thing we could say in defense of yoga is at it works in an elegant proportionate way, as opposed to the body building craze, we women seriously do not want men's chest to be humangous... I don't know who put that idea in their minds... We like proportion... And as per the measurable... Well, there is always who is further ahead but yes, I know what you mean , it might not cut it over a pint....
