I haven't ever seen anything awkward or inappropriate. That isn't to say that men (or women) don't pursue social opportunities with other students, but never in the classroom.StevenCXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06238613743890222089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695025.post-53770867866192056782007-09-04T09:36:00.000-05:002007-09-04T09:36:00.000-05:00I live in CA and travel to NY quite frequently.

In my experience, one out of every 5 students is male and the ones I've seen are working hard and focused on keeping up with the class rather than picking up the yogini next to them. I enjoyed several chuckles from the video.

As a yoga teacher, I know more than a few yoga teachers whose husbands are not supportive and just don't "get" what their woman is into.Linda-Samahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664989345039365084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11695025.post-72400645147445878142007-08-30T06:53:00.000-05:002007-08-30T06:53:00.000-05:00I often take it for granted that my 50-year-old hu...I often take it for granted that my 50-year-old husband is a long-time yogi like I am, and that our spiritual interests over our 22-year marriage have been in close alignment. He's (for the most part) a grounded, masculine guy who works as an engineer. He starts every morning with yoga and meditation and still stands on his head.

There are actually quite a few men, but, like myself, mostly 40s-60s and as you described, "move like blocks of concrete". It wouldn't surprise me one day to see someone like this, but I think it must be fairly rare, given how stupid one would look in such an intimate setting. Perhaps it is more common in the larger studios inMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14598310008835196523noreply@blogger.com
