Another comment I often hear from men is that they can't do yoga because they're not flexible enough. That is almost the same as saying that you can't go to France because you can't speak French... What would you do in that case? Buy a phrase book, start with the basics and before you know it, you can say hello, please, thank-you, where is the Louvre... and off you go! Similarly, if someone wanted to start weight lifting, they start with light weights to build strength, and slowly they move up to heavier weights. It's exactly the same with yoga - start with a class where beginners are supported, and go from there. Many people start off with little flexibility and they build it over time.
Admittedly, it can feel intimidating for a guy to join a yoga class full of women, but I can tell you from my own experience of practicing and teaching.... everyone is so busy with their own stuff, they're probably not looking at you!
I love teaching and practicing with women, and have often ended up having a good laugh with the other ladies, but I also find that having men in a class really adds something different. Because men tend to be physically stronger, especially in the upper body, it can help lift the energy of the class when there are a few men who are doing well in the more challenging postures. In addition, men bring a humour and detachment which is different from the feminine energy.
So if you're a guy, and you're reading this, consider trying it! Bring a friend for some broga :)
