Jonathan Moody+FollowI don’t get why men keep making weird noisesAt the yoga studio I hit up all the time, every so often a man drops in for a trial class. Almost none of them ever show up again. During their first session they always let out these random sounds—like a beagle panting loud, or this big but held-back yell right as a pose wraps up. I don’t know if that’s the best way to put it, but that’s exactly what happens. It feels off to me. Yoga’s supposed to be about chilling and centering yourself, so random noises in the studio are just plain weird. Maybe they should slap a “keep it quiet” sign on the wall. #Yoga #Yogaman #Experience 714Share
Robin Melendez+FollowDo guys have to wear a shirt for yoga? I’ve been mulling this over forever. I rarely spot other males in the big studio classes, so I’m usually the lone ranger. At first I rocked a regular tee and gym shorts, but that combo was a bust—the fabric was too thick, rubbed raw during folds, and bunched up on the mat like sandpaper. Later, I switched to a snug compression top like the ones I wear on trail runs, but it turned into a sauna real quick. These days I skip the shirt altogether—just bare chest and shorts—and it finally feels right. How about the others? #Yoga #YogaLife #Yogaman 00Share
Robin Melendez+FollowAnyone with lousy balance will tell you yoga is roughhi, that’s me. Half the poses feel impossible; I drill them over and over and still look crooked. That’s why I prefer poses on all fours or at least 2—give me a solid anchor and I’m good. I’m straight-up jealous of people born with poise and bendy bodies; they were made for yoga! #Yoga #YogaFail #Yogaman 30Share
Robin Melendez+FollowWhat's your favorite yoga pose?Mine has to be Child's Pose. There's something so soothing about folding myself into that position. I feel soft and relaxed, like I'm returning to a primal state. Plus, it means I've successfully wrapped up my yoga session! What about you? #YogaPose #Yoga #Yogaman 83Share
