This is an interesting article which opens up so many questions about how yoga is perceived in the west as a "woman's" activity, when for millennia in the east it was for men only. More men adding yoga to workouts http://www.calgaryherald.com/health/More+adding+yoga+workouts/4529886/story.html Comments from our facebook readers: Marishka: it's sad to see yoga touted as just another form of exercise, lumped into the same category as pilates and strength training. the spiritual side of it has been largely aborted in north america. Max: Yog is not only exercise,maditation is also a part of yog and yog is for to be enlightened,so yog is not so easy! Yenny: here in Indonesia, yoga is considered feminine too.
