Starting to practice yoga isn’t for the faint of heart. Walking into that very first yoga class can be SOOO overwhelming. Yoga is often intimidating for many, at least initially.
This is also often true for men, especially given that the practice of yoga, at least in the western world and portrayed on Instagram, is frequently practiced by bendy, flexible and fit women who somehow seem to know exactly what they are doing.
The good news though is that it’s totally possible to overcome this anxiety. AND… yoga is really for EVERYbody.
