    I do it in my living room. There are yoga workouts available on instant play on Netflix.

    By the way, chicks are nervous about joining classes too :flowerforyou:

    What part of joining a class specifically makes you nervous?

    that I'm going to be the only guy there lol

    my gym does a yogalates class, now I'll be honest I'm not sure if thats just female or not, like I said I'm learning so I guess i'm mainly nervous about that bit.

    Personally I wish MORE men would join yoga classes, otherwise it all gets a bit oestrogen fuelled.......

    As far as I'm concerned, I am concentrating so hard on remembering when to breathe and which leg goes where that I really don't notice too much about the other members of the class. Go for it, you won't regret it!!!

    Hey remember, while the classes may be full of women, most of the most famous yoga masters are men!! :wink:

    Watch David Swenson give a masterclass....
