What is Yoga for Men?
Yoga for Men is a friendly, beginner-focused class (offered in 4-week blocks) designed to make yoga feel accessible – especially if you’ve never tried it before or aren’t sure you’d feel comfortable in a regular yoga class.
Men and women can experience different challenges when practising yoga, and many men arrive convinced they’re simply “not flexible enough”. But you don’t need to be able to touch your toes, sit cross-legged comfortably or know your downward dog from your warrior!
Over four weekly sessions, you’ll explore simple yoga postures and movements designed to help improve flexibility, build strength and increase body awareness. Everything can be adapted to suit your individual body, so there’s no pressure to achieve a particular shape or keep up with anyone else.
It’s simply an opportunity to give yoga a go in a relaxed, supportive environment – and discover what it could do for you.
Increase flexibility, build strength & reduce pain
Our Yoga for Men sessions are designed for beginners, those wishing to renew their yoga practice or experienced yoga students.
Regular yoga practice can help build strength, improve flexibility and balance, and develop greater awareness of your body and breath.
You may also notice improvements in posture and sleep, alongside the mental benefits of taking time to slow down, move mindfully and switch off from everyday stresses.
What to expect
- You’ll learn the basics of yoga in a friendly, relaxed environment at SPACE.
- We’ll explore simple postures and movements to help improve flexibility, mobility, balance and strength.
- Everything can be adapted to work with your individual body – you won’t be expected to bend yourself into impossible shapes!
- You’ll be encouraged to work at your own pace, with no competition and no pressure to keep up.
- Over the four weeks, you’ll become more familiar with yoga and gain the confidence to continue your practice or join one of our regular classes.
- Most importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to discover for yourself how yoga makes your body – and mind – feel.
Who is Yoga for Men for?
You don’t need any previous yoga experience to join us. Yoga for Men could be a great fit if you:
- feel stiff or inflexible
- want to improve strength, mobility or balance
- spend a lot of time sitting at a desk or driving
- play sport, run, cycle or go to the gym and want to complement your existing activities
- are curious about yoga but aren’t quite ready to join a mixed class
- used to practise yoga and would like to get back into it
- simply want to move more and feel better in your body
Experienced yoga students are welcome too. The important thing is that you come as you are – flexibility definitely isn’t an entry requirement!
Frequently asked questions
I’ve never done yoga before. Can I join?
Absolutely. Yoga for Men has been designed with beginners in mind. You’ll be guided through the basics and encouraged to work at your own pace throughout the four weeks.
What if I’m really inflexible?
Then you’re in good company! You don’t need to be flexible to start yoga. Postures can be adapted to suit your individual body, and improving mobility and flexibility is one of the reasons many men come along in the first place.
Do I need to be fit?
No. You don’t need a particular level of fitness, strength or yoga experience to take part. The course is designed to be accessible and you’ll always be encouraged to listen to your body.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable clothes that allow you to move freely, such as a T-shirt with shorts or joggers. There’s no need to buy special yoga clothing.
Do I need to bring anything?
No. Mats and the equipment you’ll need are provided at SPACE.
What happens after the four weeks?
If you’ve enjoyed the sessions and would like to keep practising, you’re welcome to book as many 4-week blocks as you like. At some point, you might feel more confident about joining one of our other regular classes too. We can help you choose the class that’s right for you.
