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

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

8. • 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.

9. • 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.
