The Yoga Studio is a Good Place For Men Too

For many men, the thought of finding themselves in a yoga studio is a terrifying thought, a below-the-belt kick to their masculinity. Thinking of yoga, men imagine soothing music, strange chanting and impossible body positions; a far cry from the grass-stains, blood, guts and glory of football or mountain biking. Why would any man want to (pay money to) inflict the unbearable pain of yoga stretching and straining on his body?

Actually, gents, there are a lot of reasons why men should be flocking to the yoga studio too. CanadianLiving.com has compiled eight such reasons, all of them as manly as watching the Die Hard trilogy.

Some highlights from the list:

-Yoga works out the entire body, not just specific muscle groups like lacrosse or volleyball.

-Yoga decreases muscle soreness, therefore making it a great activity to followup a hard day at the gym with.

-Wayne Gretzky does yoga, so it must be cool.
