Girls: Your opinion on guys doing yoga?

[Anonymous]

I'm currently training in mixed martial arts. We hardly stretch, if ever at my new fight school, so I'm definitely "resorting" to Yoga as supplemental training to my latter mentioned "hobby".

Ladies: what's your initial impressions/judgements/opinions, if any, on a (new) guy in (Yoga) class? Or one that participates in Yoga, in general?

I'm hesitant to join and feel like the ladies might be quick to think I'm there just to check them out even though I'm not bad looking (six pack).

Well, I certainly wouldn't tell people there that you are "resorting" to yoga. Admittedly, yoga is not a remarkably intense workout, but there are tremendous advantages to including it into your weekly routine so keep an open mind. If you aren't going to take it seriously, you might as well just stretch on your own (speaking of which, you really should be stretching before and after workouts anyway).

Don't hit on any of them and they won't see you that way. Yoga is incredibly strenuous. Get ready for some real work.

I wouldn't care. I'd just see it as him taking care of himself and finding a way to improve his health/mental standings. If you like doing it then why worry about what other people think? If a girl is bothered by it that much then she obviously isn't worth your time.

Yoga is hard work. You won't believe how exhausted you can get just by being on your back. Go in with respect and no one will look at you funny. Girls are there to work out.

I would think it was cool he was in the class! Respect him for trying it. That's about it.

Why not? It can be a good workout.
