yoga MANY LAYERS, ONE STRONG BODY. YOGA INSTRUCTION | BENEFITS | YOGA MYTHS | YOGA @ WORK YOGA MYTHS I can't do yoga, I'm not flexible. That's exactly why you need it the most. Real men don't do yoga. I only play sports. Actually it was unheard of before the 20th century for WOMEN to do yoga. If you play sports, yoga can actually help you play better by increasing your strength and flexibility - even in places you were unaware of before. Check out the list of benefits for more. Yoga is part of the Hindu religion and I do not wish to convert to Hinduism. Although Yoga is a Hindu philosophy, it is not a religion in and of itself. You need not apply anything that you feel uncomfortable with. It can complement any belief system nicely, and will deepen whatever spiritual practice you have. I think mantra chanting is weird and I am uncomfortable when you chant in class. Mantras are not about worship. Sanskrit mantras have a certain vibrational energy - some are heart-opening, others are obstacle-removing. You are not required to chant anything you don't want to, so feel free to sit silently and just listen in to others around you who are chanting. |
