Doesn’t yoga feel great? Well, now the yoga world has 50 new recruits, all guys and all with different backgrounds, ages and new stories to tell. Fifty men who had never tried yoga before took to the mat for their first class ever recently all in support of the suicide prevention charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
It was a very diverse group. Aged between 17 to 59, the men enjoyed an hour-long Sattva Yoga journey with London-based Australian yoga instructor Caleb Packham (calebjudepackham.com). The class included asana, pranayama breath-work, meditation, chanting and kriya, the yoga of electricity.
