Men Doing Yoga

[AncientwisdomParticipant 6089]

& all things unholy.

There’s this yoga ‘studio’ right next to a bar I go to. More and more, I see these slinky type men, wearing short shorts walking in there with their mats.

WTF are these t~~~s thinking? One of my guy friends (really cool cat) mentioned he was doing yoga when were out the other night. I asked him if he’s perfected his “down-doggy” position LOL =D

The pussyfication of men has gone b~~~~ to the wall (or lack there of). I know men who say stupid s~~~ like –

“I’m not eating meat for a month”. The guy was stuffing his face with a veggie sandwich from Subway, which the bread alone is like eating a half of a loaf, so what’s the f~~~ing point?

I am so sick of this type of s~~~.

Another guy I know – all rainbows and butterflies type, not a sarcastic/cynical bone in his body – saw me sitting in front of a pub, sipping a drink and having a smoke. I saw him walking up the street out of the corner of my eye. As soon as he gets close to me, he starts jogging, turns to me with a big fake smile. Then as soon as he thinks he’s out of my sight, he starts walking again. Five minutes later, he does the same thing as he passes me – pretends he’s jogging (to look healthy while I’m drinking, then walks again RIGHT as he’s past me). He was wearing a nice sweater, jeans, and normal shoes. He wasn’t out jogging, he just wanted to “look” like he was doing something healthy as I was partying.

Many men have become SUCH pretentious douche bags in todays culture. And these very same men will do ANYTHING to get pu$$y (including throw you under the bus). It’s draining.

Resident cynic.

Another example is dudes at my gym wearing LEGGINGS under their shorts…WTF. I asked one “Dude, WTF are you wearing leggings for?” (we’re in florida – NOT cold outside). He goes “Uh, I’m not that cruel to be exposing my junk to the world”. Talk about ashamed of being a man! First off, if you’re 90 then maybe your junk might hang below the shorts, but not if you’re wearing underwear. Same with dudes who shave their pits, legs and arms = cloning women behavior x3

I do meditation regularly and let me tell you something. Modern day Yoga is all watered down into a routine exercise, that is meant to give you pleasure and relaxation.

True meditation is not for the faint hearted. When you practice meditation, you face your inner demons head on, no matter how scared you are. You stand your ground and face them. It is not meant to be chasing after relaxation. It is accepting the raw reality for what it is.

Most people chase after relaxation and “happiness”, which in turn creates more stress and anxiety. People need to DEAL with their inner problems rather than try to numb them with fancy stretches and a cafe late. It is just a facade.

A tranquil mind is neither happy nor sad, it is uninfluenced by external conditions.

Some may disagree with me but I think yoga is a pile of s~~~. It’s not even a proper exercise and people barely break into a sweat doing it.

It’s a massive con and I don’t think it does much for anyone.

If you find yourself a fitness regime or any pass time in life that a lot of women are participating in then that should be a red flag and it’s best to avoid it.

Okaaaay….if the “junk” is ugly, then why did mother nature give it to us at birth? If he doesn’t like it, then he can make an appointment with a plastic surgeon to have “it” removed.

I’m kind of on the fence when it comes to yoga. Obviously I think the lycra-wearing, sweatband wearing brigade that trot out to the yoga studio first thing on a saturday morning take it a bit far.

My job is fairly physical, and quite a few of the chaps I work with get lower back pain/sciatica due to all the time spent tinkering with machines, pushing three ton reels of paper and the like. I do a few of the yoga exercises every now and again at home (maybe once or twice a week) that concentrate on the lower spine and back area. Never had any trouble with my back for three years now. I think it has made a difference.

I’ll get my coat….

The premise of my post is primarily based on the general pretentious, yuppy attitude of todays men. Essentially they are making a SHOW out of what they are doing. Like the example I gave of the fake guy PRETENDING to be jogging…The guy going VEGETARIAN/VEGAN or whatever the f~~~ while stuffing his face with a 1,000 empty calories of bread. What’s the point of all that s~~~?

That’s essentially what I’m getting at. I don’t think it’s crazy for you to do stretches at home, but these guys with little slinky bodies wearing tiny shorts and spandex carrying their matt around in public doing yoga is what cracks me up, because it’s never simply them doing it for themselves. It’s rather a sanctimonious show that they parade around and have to announce to the world how wonderful they are.

F~~~..man, tell me about it. That facade of “look at meeeee”…i’m so trendy and hip….same with those stupid commando game shows, like ninja warrior…f~~~ sake! More like ninja yuppy. Put these yupsters on a REAL commando course and they will s~~~ bricks.

Yoga… it’s called stretching when doné rigth.

All good boxers do it before and after training, is just a warm up, nothing more.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. If you want to go running, then go running. I am not one for these organized events, such as a marathon. And to be clear, I’m not talking about a charity event. The former are nothing more than a photo-opp. They are there to be seen and nothing else.

I practice my Kata’s with my staff every other morning. Keeps the forms fresh in my muscle memory and gives me a chance to meditate while running them. After repeating the forms until I have worked up a sweat I can proceed to hitting the weights for 45 min.
Yoga is just a stretching technique for people who don’t want to sweat.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

If you want to do yoga do yoga. It can be good for your health. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. I am not so fussy as to want to tell other people how they should live.

I would never let anyone woman or otherwise for me into doing something I don’t want to do. Been there done that. Meditation and Yoga were after all created by men.

[QuellParticipant 2538]

If you don’t take 14 pictures of yourself doing yoga and post them facebook did you actually DO yoga??

Just like jerks posting pictures of themselves at the gym. It’s all about attention.

Where I live we have plenty of those fake spiritual dude bros who are part hipster part chad. No matter what they are they are 100% assholes.

[kizellParticipant 368]

To hell with yoga. Too many of these people are wasting perfectly good gym and park space with their nonsense. It’s always the emotionally fragile types in my opinion. If an instructor wants to teach yoga the open up a studio or rent space to do it.

[goodkid43Spectator 550]

Yoga is an Eastern Indian practice that has been Americanized. Yoga is meditation AND stretching. Stretching is one of the best things you can do for your body. These trendy, costly and flashy accoutrements are not necessary (except for the mat).
Chiropracty is predominantly stretching of the muscles and joints. Stretching is also good for stress reduction.

Even the Vikings knew the benefit of a good stretch before a raid.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

[MrMeParticipant 651]

Once again, im gonna be unpopular by saying that yes yoga looks unmanly but its very healthy exercises with alot of movements that we use also in physical therapy.

I don’t do yoga but I respect the exercise.

[AwakenedParticipant 35206]

I prefer the Greek Yoga, but the traditional Yoga is alright too. I also learned that it’s much better to buy the plain yoga, and add your own fruit and sweetener as the prepared stuff is loaded with sugar.

That’s about all I know about Yoga.
