Is yoga for pooves?

So for the first time I had adhered to a new years resolution:

I have stopped biting my nails and have my own file and manicure set.

I drink the occasional glass of wine and the most I have had in one night this year is three pints of Tiger.

After twenty years of smoking I am a non smoker, though I will have one socially - this works for me, I think vowing to never touch one again doesn't work.

Been running every day instead of three times a week and working out 5 times a week instead of twice.

Thrown away all my clothes and shoes and spent 400 UK pounds on a new wardrobe.

Invested in two new cameras.

Cured my insomnia with the help of the amazing Dr Ooi.

So as a result of all this, life is much better than it was though I won't brag. However there is one thing left to try, suggested to me by a young Swedish woman I have yet to meet, and that is yoga.

I know nothing about yoga, only that the greek natural one is quite nice with honey.

Do blokes do yoga, I mean straight blokes? Does anybody here do yoga and what is it? Does anybody here do yoga and how has it benefitted your life? Is it like the dancing what Chinese people do in the park?

yes..

Dear Mr. Scamp,

It's wonderful that you are slowly getting your shit together.
Now that you have realised that your previously adopted sexuality was a sham, the adoption of yoga should be the final step in your bursting out of the closet in a flurry of petticoats.
Being able to bend and twist into all kinds of position should increase your desirability amongst the third gender.
Remember to set the delay timer on the cameras.

we had a thai yoga teacher as a neighbour, she studied it seriously in india and she gave free yoga lessons on the lawn in front of the condo. she was 60 years old and could tie herself into knots.

i took lessons daily, 2 hours a day for 3 weeks until i pulled a rotator cuff tendon on my shoulder.

it involves stretching into seemingly impossible positions and then holding those positions and it involves breathing control.

you also find yourself in close proximity to sweating women bending themselves into wonderful poses, with their leotards stretched provocatively over breasts, camel toes and assorted delectable clefts just bursting to get out.

within a week of starting i felt much fitter and healthier in ways that is difficult to explain and i am someone who swims and exercises regularly and i dont eat shite or touch alcohol.

i just felt "better", i slept easier and had a wonderful shit right after breakfast every day even though my diet hadnt changed.

the teacher would go on and on about the spirituality of yoga, but as a yorkshireman and cynic i found that side of it hard to take in, i just went along with it for the physical benefits, but it certainly worked on a mental level too.

i would recommend it, but not at one of the increasingly common dancercise yoga classes, thats just regular exercise, although you might meet some fit minge, i dont think its real yoga.

try and find a teacher or class that uses hatha yoga.

our teacher eventually left to start a school up in the hills around chiang mai, she comes back now and again for weekends in her condo and does her moves on the lawn in the mornings, but i stopped when my shoulder went and its not something that i can do by myself, well i could, but i'm a bit lazy, yoga is hard work and without someone pushing me i lapsed !

Yoga is very therapeutic and helps to cure or help many nervous and muscular disorders. I have not done it yet, but plan to once I have retired in about 10 months. Probably should be doing it now to decrease my stress level, but have no time.

Well, that's possibly one set of shirt and pants. Did you manage to get new shoes with that ? Whaddya gonna do on the other days of the week?

Yoga enlarged my penis and cured my baldness. Recommended.

Yoga seems like a girly, sissy activity... until you actually give it a try- it's tremendously physically taxing, and very much like a martial art.

just what I was going to say

you could be the only bloke in a class of very fit women bending over in all sorts of provocative positions

I don't do it yet but will definitely get into one day mainly for the flexibility and as others have stated, peering into some horn crackers naughty bits. :rolleyes:

I did Hatha Yoga for 10 years kept me supple,also good for relaxation.
Found it was a great,as i had done Shotokan for more then 30 years kept my muscles and body in tip top condition and not as punishing as a training session down the dojo.

Looks gay to me.

I was watching it being done in that park near the Emporium, farang and Thai men

Made me cringe, why would you wanna be that flexible that you could stick your legs behind your neck ?

Hmm

If they were near the entrance by sukhumvit rd thats tai chi.

I will agree with the above comment by tax. Its good for relaxatioon and its only as hard as you want it to be!
The best part is the women in leatards stretching around you :) I have seen some of the best camel toe and brestacles in yoga class!
Go for it man!!! but go to a womans class... a bunch of guys doing yoga is surley as gay as it comes!!!

As there are so many variations of Yoga , and anyone who does it tells you there type is the best , how would a newbie choose a style ?

initially it was to bring mind and body together
doing the 'Salute to the Sun' is good for beginners
as soon as you feel pain,, stop ,, otherwise it ain't yoga.
yoga exercises 'all' the muscles of the body.

Negative side.. it does sound gay.
Positive side.. you'll be able to suck your own dick.

I say go for it ya bender. :yup:

yes.... do a psychology or nursing degree... do work as cabin crew, dancer or hairdresser... do yoga... choose life... choose giggles, regular close proximity with uninhibited ladies and the glistening beads of sweat upon their cameltoe... girls love girlie stuff, and if you love girls, you'll love to love it too ;)

I did a Yoga/Pilates mix class.

I dont' know which bits were yoga and which bits pilates, but if I had to guess, I'd say the swirly, poovey bits were yoga and the stress positions were pilates. Anyway, I started it because I failed the flexibility bit of my fitness assessment. After a few weeks I noticed a large improvement in balancing but flexibility still sucked so I stopped doing it.

No! Real men go for a run, if they see a mate or hot chick in a bar along the way they stop for beer or two or three.
Men doing yoga are only trying to find a way of sucking themselves off coz they're too cheap to pay for it.
