Always wanted to try yoga but worried that you’re not flexible enough? Maybe you’ve heard about all of the amazing benefits but are concerned you might be the only guy in a sea of pink Lycra? Don’t worry, MoreYoga has your back! Throughout November, we will be running a series of ‘MoYoga’ classes to give the yoga-curious man an opportunity try yoga, without the fear of being the only one unable to touch your toes!

Not all yoga is feminine and fluffy. It can be strong, sweaty, physical and hairy in places. Did you know that many pro-athletes including the England football team and the New Zealand All Blacks actually include yoga as part of their weekly fitness program? This is because yoga can help to build joint and muscle strength, increase mobility, enhance overall control, aid with sleep and recovery and even improve your sex life too! 

However, the benefits of yoga also go much deeper than the physical. It’s about creating balance between your body and mind. An opportunity to be present and better equipped to help cope with the stresses and demands that life throws at us. It’s not all about sitting cross-legged in a dimly lit room, breathing deeply and talking about feelings. We need to move past the stereotypes to be able to see what yoga really is; a complete workout for the mind, body and soul. 

We will be raising money for the Movember Foundation to help make a difference to men’s health - in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends face a health crisis that isn’t being talked about. Men are dying too young. We can’t afford to stay silent.
