Its curious that in the West yoga has been
marketed overwhelmingly to women while the men have been somewhat left in the
cold to find release through more ‘traditional’ forms of physical exercise, while
in the East yoga was traditionally only practiced by men.
One reason the Western man has shunned yoga
is the erroneous belief that it is not strenuous enough for them! Any man reading this who has done a
yoga class will be able to vouch for the fact that this is pure myth! In
reality it is an intense hour or 90 minutes where you are able to stretch your
self in more ways than one.
However, now Yoga is moving into a new era
where we are beginning to see just as many men in a class as women – some of
the most unlikely of suspects are turning their day to their mat as they salute
the sun for both physical and mental release of the pressures of city life.
To celebrate Fathers day next weekend and
to give a shout out to all the dads that haven’t come into contact with the
transformative effects of yoga, gift your dad with a Breath of Life Yoga voucher.
At the Breath of Life we offer two types of
yoga; Kundalini Yoga and Vinyassa Yoga.
While both focus on your breath Kundalini Yoga is known mainly for its
exceptional personal transformational ability, while Vinyassa Flow is more an
energetic and physical set of postures that detox you both mentally and
physically.
At the Breath of Life we believe whole
heartedly in the power of yoga and its lasting ability to bring about change
within the individual, we believe it is an essential part of healing to put the
care of ones health back into the right hands… your own.
