8 years of yoga for men

How many men I’ve welcomed through the doors over the past 8 years. Not simply by encouraging men to take that 1st step but sowing a seed that yoga may help them navigate the complexities of life in some way.

I'm grateful to every man that has chosen to join me. Some may have only taken advantage of a free taster, never to return. Others may have continued coming, deepening their understanding and appreciation of the many benefits that yoga could bring to their lives.

What’s been a running theme throughout has been growing a community, with yoga at its heart. We ‘walked the talk’ on this by having a celebratory drink at Bonzo Lounge last week. Nothing fancy. Nothing formal. Simply a group of guys getting to know one another a little better in a safe and supportive space.

… and this is the power of the practice. Yoga may be seen as a personal journey that lives inside the 4 corners of the mat. The strength of connection at my Yoga for Men classes runs far wider and deeper than that though.

In an age where men’s health is so often under the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, it’s good to know that what started out as a sketch on a piece of paper is now seen in such a positive and lasting light.
