OK, let me take a second to say that I have no problem with homosexual men 'per se'.
But I ran in to a quandry earlier today and I feel the need to 'air it out' here. And I think Texans need to know about it, too!
I went onto to Google to see what other facts and figures about Yoga for Men I could share with you. I get 4 or 5 entries down the page, and there it is: Dallas Naked Yoga for Men. And I'm, like , NO WAY!!!! BLEAUGHGH!
It's hard enough, as a guy, to be taken seriously for doing yoga.
All I need is the world to think I do NAKED Men's Yoga and I am finished.
BUT WAIT...!
4 searches down FURTHER: Austin Naked Yoga.
Yeah, go on. Click the link. You are NOT going to see Pam Anderson and Claudia Schiffer in any sexy poses....
Remember the movie "Officer and a Gentleman"? The Marine drill seargent tells a new recruit "Texas? Nuthin' but Queers and Steers in Texas!"
I never, ever, ever, ever associated Texas with queers OR steers. In fact, I thought most cattle was raised in Oklahoma. Shows you what I know.
The bottom line is, that here I am pushing Yoga as a difficult and serious work out practice for men...and Google is listing Yoga for Men as a high ranking listing for alternative lifestyles.
I had no idea...
Nevertheless, I am undeterred. Perhaps my friends wil not take me seriously, but I know what I know. And what I know is that yoga kicks butt. YOUR butt, tough guy.
Check out Progressive Power Yoga. Only a real man would use 'Power' and 'Yoga' in the same sentence.
How about Sonic Yoga. Sonic Boom, Sonic Yoga.
Manly, right? Like "I'm a superhero and I'll crush you right after I do this VERY difficult Yoga pose!"
Lastly, there's the "Flexible Warrior" DVD collection of work out videos.
You can't use 'Warrior' in a title unless it kicks butt.
Doesn't matter how Flexible you are, if you are a 'warrior' that's a different story.
So people, my point is this:
I AM in favor of Men doing Yoga.
I am NOT in favor of men doing yoga naked.
I AM in favor of you going to the Yoga for Men lens and learning more about the manly art of Yoga.
I am NOT in favor of going to Texas to find groups of Naked Men doing Yoga.
But that's just me....

You might find this amusing as regards Yoga for Men. Perhaps someday...:)

There’s nothing mystical about it.Nor is it external. Rather it is an inner faculty. Yoga endeavors to re-establish inner balance through a variety of ways, ranging from the gross to the subtle. Which is why it is considered a holistic art.Rather than prescribe treatments, yoga therapy encourages awareness.
