They Laughed When I told Them I Was Going To Take
Yoga in Seattle

I am a guy, living in Seattle. I take yoga
classes. No, I am not starting a 12 step
self-help group. The truth is, yoga is a
hard, action packed sport.

Who knew? Not any of my friends who laughed when I
told them I was going to take a yoga class at Lab5 Fitness.
I guess guys in Seattle like those tough sports.

I confess that I thought yoga was sort of an
“easy sport” that mostly women participated in. I
was pretty fit and honestly didn’t think it would challenge me.

Maybe yoga in Seattle is just tougher than anywhere else. But I don’t think so. Instead I think yoga is an action
packed, demanding sport that frankly came as a pretty big surprise to me.

• Increased fitness. When I started to learn and master
new poses, I became more
balanced, flexible and stronger.

• Less stress. I stopped thinking about my day,
the stress of my job, and everything I had on plate.
I felt calmer and less stressed – not just in
class but throughout the week.

• Weight loss. I actually lost weight. Even though I
wasn’t really trying. I became more aware of
what I was eating and less inclined to eat because I was stressed or bored.

I began to notice I had a lot more endurance. My
coordination improved, I was stronger and had a higher
level of fitness. That helped me with every physical
activity I did, including a few team sports.

My friends stopped laughing about taking yoga in Seattle when they saw the benefits. And now they join me in saying “I am a guy living in Seattle. I take
yoga classes.
