    No. Because I'm female. But I would also be wary of the 'fully clothed' thing. Yoga is about acceptance. Is it implying that we need to hide our arms and legs, or even male torsos?

    Some yoga teachers prefer that the students wear form fitting clothes so that the teacher can see if the students are doing the poses correctly.

    Yea why not ? If im going to do yoga I'm not there to stare at girls or guys. Wouldn't make a difference.

    Is the monk qualified to teach and what form of yoga?

    I'm not sure what the objection would be here?

    Does the monk know something you want to learn and is willing to teach you? Yes? Go for it.

    Is there something I'm missing in the OP? Some subtext that I'm too stupid to pick up on?

    What's the problem? If he is a good instructor, I have no issues.

    Why would you not? I'd interpret this as somewhere for men to feel safe to try something new. I'm guessing he's not a catholic monk.

    I believe so. I think what the OP is implying is that most males that go to yoga classes do so for the females in tight/revealing clothing, aka eye candy.

    You mean there are no women in yoga pants to creepily watch from the back of the room?

    It's not gay unless you look at each other in the eyes!

    Ahhh, I get it now. The OP appears to have a rather negative, cynical, narrow-minded view of the male sex.

    I think If I saw any ad for Yoga that felt it needed to include "Fully Clothed" in the description I'd be leery. My assumption is always that you wear clothes to yoga, so specifically mentioning that would be kind of creepy. Sort of like saying "Yoga, taught by Non-Rapist".

    Always a bonus in a yoga teacher...

    Oh. Sorry if that's what your ad says. I'm sure it doesn't come off as creepy at all in your ad. I'd probably stop there though - the additional "...seriously, definitely not a registered sex-offender" may be a bit over the top. Methinks he doth protest too much.

    Sorry. The fact that this was supposed to be locker room humor went totally over my head. You bet I would've left it alone if I'd 'gotten it'. :laugh:

    This is what the world needs more of, women being given instructions of when they can and can't comment.

    When a guy asks other men if they would take a males only yoga class...yeah. Your input is not needed.
    So where is the 'asks other men' part?

    Just like if a woman asked other women about taking females only classes I wouldn't have the nerve to think I should pop in and tell women how they're supposed to feel. Sexism works both ways.
    Lol, as if MFP forums are restricted to "needed" comments only.

    The funny thing is I APOLOGIZED and admitted I didn't 'get it'. Which should've been obvious from my response. :laugh:

    I see an awful lot of men commenting on 1200 threads when that rec doesn't apply to them. What's the difference?

    You post something on an open forum, you get what you get.

    And next time put "MEN:" in the subject thread. :indifferent:
