Yoga Retreats for Men

Although western yoga has gained a reputation for being a female-dominated practice, classic yoga was initially a male-only philosophy. It was not until relatively late, in 1937, that Indra Devi, also known as ‘the first lady of yoga’, was accepted to study under Sri Krishnamacharya.

Going on 'retreat' tends to conjure up images of bunking down, going deep and attending to your 'spiritual side', whatever that means...  for a male of the species, it isn't the normal place to go in order to spend precious days away from the office – we normally love football, sailing, spending time with the mates at the pub, or whatever activity is associated with the stereotypical alpha male.

Big, bold, and beautiful, from coast to coast, the United States of America offers a wide variety of incredible places for yoga teacher training.

When the heat and excitement of summer winds down, the crisp morning air, colorful leaves, and pumpkin-spice spread their nostalgic feeling over our lives.
