A while back I came across a yoga article talking about Yoga not being 'masculine' and that there was an 'anti-alpha-male' attitude to yoga in general.   I believe the author hadn't really done their research or been to many yoga studios in the wider geography of the global fitness realm, but it did raise a few interesting points for me as to the usefulness of types of exercise and what we sometimes view as 'not being appropriate' for us.
