It is true that most yoga classes are attended by a majority of flexible women in tight clothes all around the world but contrary of what men think this is not a practice just for women!. There are tons of reasons why men should start doing yoga other than picking up women at yoga studios haha (kidding!) but really, there is nothing sexier and interesting than men who take care of their health and understand the importance of being happy with themselves.
If you are hesitant to start doing yoga here are the reasons why you should make it part of your lifestyle. Yoga won’t make you feminine, it makes you stronger and durable!. So are you ready to blow your mind by discovering the 5 reasons why you should start doing yoga? Keep reading!
1. Sculpt Muscles
Don’t believe it? Well, yoga uses the weight of your own body to build mass and strength. Think about how many clunky free-weights it takes to bench press your bodyweight (150–200 lbs.). yoga allows you to get the same muscle-building benefits by performing long, extended pushups, squats, and leg lifts. The results are well-worked muscle groups, which get stronger with each class. We are not in the 80’s anymore guys, a well toned body is very attractive in comparison to Arnold's Schwarzenegger fake muscles.

2. Prevent Workout Injuries
Most yoga classes begin with a reminder to honor your body’s particular needs and limits on that particular day. This basic ability to scan and assess yourself as you practice will help reduce the incidence of injury when running or playing other sports. Flexible, well-stretched yoga muscles will heal and recover more quickly after working out or getting strained.
3. Yoga Is “Natural High”
"Yoga workouts release the essential hormone Oxytocin, the "love hormone," which is the hormone that promotes feelings of well-being and happiness". More benefits of Oxytocin include relieved anxiety, increased sexual intimacy, increased desire for social interaction, and lower blood pressure.

5. Yoga Remove Stress Of Your Life
Yoga provides a sense of clarity and balance within the mind. You will train your mind to slow down, which in turn allows you to master the art of letting go of all that’s come before your practice, and all that comes after. This gives you the opportunity to focus on being more mindful and present.
For all men out there I would suggest to allow yourself something gratifying. Trust me, yoga it’s not easy as some of you think it would be an internal greatful challenge. The benefits of yoga extend far beyond gender. Open up the possibility to try it!. As I said before on other posts “yoga is not about the shape of your body but the shape of your life”
