“Are you kidding me?” This is the thought that’s going through your mind as you peek into the yoga class ahead of you. You start thinking of ways to back out…hamstring too tight, feeling tired, yadda yadda yadda. There are incredible articles about why guys should practice yoga. I’m not going to beat that dead [...]
I’ve been bringing this idea to my classes of late. Perhaps I picked it up from some other teacher, maybe a blog post, or it could be that I had an original thought. Who knows?!? It goes a little like this…
