Can men learn yoga?

Nowadays, yoga is dominated by women, giving people a subconscious thought that yoga is only suitable for women. In fact, there are many benefits for men to practice yoga. Practicing yoga is not exclusive to women. Although women now occupy the dominant position in yoga, men should also learn to practice yoga to relieve stress and improve physical fitness. Here are three major benefits of yoga for men.

1. Men also need to relieve stress

The earliest yoga practitioners were detached from society, climbing the snow-capped mountains of the Himalayas and meditating on the banks of the Ganges, just like the hermit yogis seen in "The Himalayan Planet." At the beginning of the 20th century, people began to realize the benefits of yoga to the human body, and it began to become popular in the world.

Modern fast-paced work and life, especially society has given men more responsibilities and demands. Men are used to bearing pressure and lack ways to relieve it. Any form of indulgence cannot allow the body and mind to truly relax. On the contrary, they often cannot even relax.

Those secluded yoga practitioners do not have much pressure, but the method of practice is a good way to relieve stress in modern society. Yoga can improve the body's flexibility, enhance coordination, improve agility, shape the body lines that are both hard and soft, and cultivate elegant and noble masculinity. Only a man who knows how to relieve his stress can better understand life and work.

2. Fighting the men’s health crisis

Men have many health problems and lack awareness of their bodies and brains. In fact, physical problems come from excessive stress. Without a calm brain, people are always under a lot of pressure and their emotions easily become intense. As stress builds, illnesses become prominent.

Chronic stress is six times more likely to cause heart disease and cancer than risk factors such as smoking and high cholesterol. The brain is one of the most important organs in the human body. When the brain is fatigued, many functions will be affected.

A great benefit of yoga is that it can help brain waves return to a calm state, maximize the function of the parasympathetic nervous system, restore to an energetic state, and fight against various health crises.

3. Enhance men’s sexual ability

British singer Sting once said that he could have sex with his wife continuously for up to 5 hours, and he claimed that it was all thanks to the effects of practicing yoga every day. Don’t misunderstand that yoga can help men improve their sexual function. This utilitarian idea will distort the benefits that yoga brings to the body.

The benefits of practicing yoga to men's sexual ability are natural. The greatest benefit is not the extension of time or the improvement of ability, but helping practitioners enhance their physical sensations, extend sexual pleasure and reach a higher state of sexual arousal. With practice, women can increase their chances of having multiple orgasms, and both men and women can orgasm in all parts of their bodies.
