I teach yoga to men as well as women, and I can tell you the real reason for it.
We don't do any chanting by the way. We are deep breathing throughout the whole class, this immediately relaxes every muscle in your body, as well as your mind. By just deep breathing you slow everything down, your heart, your blood pressure, and your mind. It helps you to focus on something else rather than what's for lunch today, should I call her, will he call me, how will i get to the party.....It stops all of this inner thought life that we have for just a short time.
The moves are in time with the breathing, it is graceful, we are stretching every part of our bodies to the max, and our bodies love us for it. When we hold a pose, it makes our muscles stay in a position for a time with all of our body weight, and this makes them very strong.
So here you have it, the real reasons for yoga, focus, peace, quiet, strength, and flexibility. Men are coming into these classes more and they are among the most faithful to them. It helps us to forget about everything else for an hour, and this is what it's all about.

The real reason for yoga is to be at peace with your body and your soul. Although I go to be really flexible and sweat a lot.

HAHA!!! Don't we all wish! No, not quite, but it does make you more flexible for when you are with others! Not to mention the fact that it is so relaxing, even org*smic at times.
