Yoga Also For Males

There is increasing empirical evidence challenging older conventions and perceptions about what physical activities are appropriate for males as they age. 

Watching children at play and noting their facile movements without pain is an undeniable reminder that at one time in our lives most of us enjoyed such abilities. 

Unfortunately, this youthful vitality and mobility decreases for many men as they age

However, teens to seniors regularly participating in several forms of non-impact hatha yoga can maintain and enhance their overall fitness while addressing both short and long goals.

Male adults often experience joint and muscle pains along with decreasing muscle tone, increased weight and more restricted flexibility as they transition from their adolescence and 20's into their third and fourth decade and beyond. 

Many become more sedentary, increasingly stressed by competing obligations and unhealthy lifestyle choices including poor nutrition habits. 

These factors can contribute to a heart attack, diabetes, arthritis and obesity among other medical issues and compromise independence, daily activities and overall quality of life. 

Despite these increasingly observed outcomes in the maturing male population, regular yoga practice by males at all ages can address many of their cited biological symptoms.

While usually present in low numbers in any given class, in several recent yoga sessions i attended one third of participants were males (ages ranged from 30's to 60's). 

It has been inspiring to observe and interact with my yoga colleagues taking the first steps to reverse years and even decades of contracted muscle, tendon and ligaments frequently accompanied by joint stiffness associated with the hips, legs, knees, back, shoulders, neck and other locations.
