Yoga for Men classes run on Monday evenings at 8pm as a short course designed specifically for the needs and goals of male practitioners. Classes are held at the Garden Room yoga studio in Surbiton.

Breaking the Yoga Stereotypes

For too long, yoga has been misunderstood as a gentle, stretching-only practice that doesn't align with traditional male fitness goals. Nothing could be further from the truth. Yoga will challenge your strength, improve your flexibility, sharpen your mental focus and teach you to relax and rest when you need it. These are all key components of a well-rounded lifestyle. You will move better, sleep better and generally feel better. 

Don't just take my word for it. Here are a few comments from some of the men that attend yoga classes with me already:

.."finding time to do yoga allows me to be a better father, husband and colleague"..

..“yoga makes me feel better, physically and mentally. I like the physical challenge and I learn about my own body”..

“..yoga is a great way to stay physically and mentally healthy, as well as connected socially”..

 

Power of Yoga for Men - Are you ready for a Work-in?

Contrary to popular belief, yoga can be an intense physical 'workout' that builds significant strength. Many yoga poses require supporting your body weight, engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously. This leads to functional strength that translates well to other sports and daily activities.

But that's just part of what yoga can offer.  Improved flexibility isn't just about being able to touch your toes.

It's about:

- Reducing the risk of injuries and chronic pain

- Improving posture and core strength

- Improving athletic performance

- Improved mental and physical resilience

- Enhancing overall mobility and quality of life

 

Yoga for improved mental health

In today's world, stress is a common enemy for all of us. In addition to physical tension release, yoga incorporates breathing techniques and mindfulness practices that significantly reduce stress levels by regulating the nervous system. Many yoga practitioners report improved focus, better sleep, and a greater sense of overall calmness in their daily lives after starting a regular yoga practice.
