RESEARCH | Despite yoga's growing popularity, men remain underrepresented in yoga classes and activities. This research aimed to investigate the factors that encourage or discourage men from practicing yoga, shed light on this gender disparity, and identify strategies to boost male participation.

The findings revealed that men were more inclined to adopt yoga when they received support and encouragement from their social circle. During their yoga journey, men often had to confront societal perceptions that yoga primarily requires flexibility and is predominantly practiced by women. However, these misconceptions often dissipated once they experienced the multifaceted benefits of yoga firsthand.

The article proposes several approaches to overcome these barriers, such as increasing the visibility of male yoga practitioners, tailoring marketing strategies to appeal to men, offering classes that cater to beginners and address common concerns, and educating men about the diverse benefits of yoga.

The research contributes significantly to understanding gender dynamics in physical activity and promoting inclusivity in health practices in general.
