One of the most transformative activities Mo Bros and Mo Sistas can tackle is\u00a0yoga. Getting into a regular yoga practice is easy and can literally help save your life\u2014just\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mensjournal.com\/expert-advice\/the-8-best-yoga-poses-for-men-20150225\" target=\"_blank\">20 minutes a day<\/a>, three days a week can help revamp your body\u00a0<em>and<\/em>\u00a0mind.<\/p>\n<p>To the skeptical fellas out there who think yoga has nothing for you\u2014there&#8217;s something you should know. Yoga got its humble beginnings long before Lulu-clad ladies dominated the mats of swanky studios everywhere. In fact, the practice goes back thousands of years to 500 BC where it was originally\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/man.bodyandsoul.com.au\/mens+fitness\/fitness+tips\/bro+ga+why+all+men+should+be+doing+yoga,25941\" target=\"_blank\">designed by men, for men<\/a>. Pretty O.G., huh?<\/p>\n<p>But, as it does, time had a way of shifting things, and a fair share of yoga\u2019s original beginnings were lost in the migration from India to Western culture. According to a 2012\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/yoga-journal-releases-2012-yoga-in-america-market-study-182263901.html\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Yoga in America<\/em>\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0by\u00a0<em>Yoga Journal<\/em>, of the 20.4 million practitioners in the U.S., only about 17.8 percent are men. Though when it comes to the tradition of yoga, one can still find\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/first-yoga-class-know-before-you-go\/\" target=\"_blank\">classes<\/a>\u00a0that fall all across the spectrum\u2014from embracing the spiritual essence of yoga in all its\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/yoganonymous.com\/chakras-101-location-qualities-development-use\/\" target=\"_blank\">chakras<\/a>\u00a0to ones that focus solely on the physical aspect of the activity. But\u2014believe it or not\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/wanderlust-stratton-dudes-yoga\/\" target=\"_blank\">yoga was made for you, bros<\/a>. So, here are a few reasons you should be adding it to your workout schedule.<\/p>\n<h3>Increase Drive<\/h3>\n<p>Ambition isn\u2019t just for the boardroom. We all want to run faster, go farther, lift heavier. If you have lofty workout goals, <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/9-things-everyone-know-yoga\/\" target=\"_blank\">yoga<\/a> can be a great way to earn the strength that can improve your overall health and performance across all activities. In addition to\u00a0igniting muscles\u00a0rarely activated in a typical gym routine, yoga comes with many perks: increased\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/yoga-excuses-not-flexible-enough\/\" target=\"_blank\">flexibility<\/a>\u00a0and motion range, strengthening of the core, improved balance, and valuable stretches. All of these things are nice additions to your regular workout and can help synergize your muscle groups to serve your overall body better and help balance your routine.<\/p>\n<h3>Stay Humble<\/h3>\n<p>Yoga is not about catching side glances of other practitioners flashing bigger muscles or grunting to bench-press more than you. It\u2019s a personal experience. It\u2019s between you and your mat and you and your body. And if it\u2019s not a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/yoganonymous.com\/7-reasons-men-should-do-yoga-gentleman-get-on-your-mats\" target=\"_blank\">regular part of your workout regimen<\/a>, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019re going to hit some very humbling points on the road to <a href=\"http:\/\/yoganonymous.com\/yoga-pose-breakdown-downward-facing-dog-adho-mukha-svanasana\" target=\"_blank\">down dog<\/a> and beyond. Tightness will seem unconquerable and, at times, you\u2019ll be convinced that touching your toes is downright impossible. But pressing on, ego aside, can be very liberating.<\/p>\n<h3>Mental Endurance<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blavatskytheosophy.com\/a-yogis-meeting-with-a-himalayan-mahatma\/\" target=\"_blank\">Yogis in the Himalayan Mountains<\/a>\u00a0are arguably the most mentally fit humans on Earth. At 15,000 feet above sea level and below-0 temps, these\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.todayifoundout.com\/index.php\/2011\/07\/tibetan-monks-can-raise-the-temperature-of-their-skin-through-meditation\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tibetan monks<\/a>\u00a0spend years in indomitable conditions that should, in all likelihood, kill them. But it doesn\u2019t. Instead, these remarkable yogis meditate for hours on end without ever even letting out so much as a shiver. The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2011\/07\/13\/meditation-orgasm_n_896692.html\" target=\"_blank\">powers of meditation<\/a>\u00a0can literally be seen in brain scans, where the left prefrontal cortex can be seen vividly lighting up and over time resulting in a thickening of the cortex.<\/p>\n<p>If the thought of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/yoganonymous.com\/practical-magic-kirtan-chanting-from-the-heart\" target=\"_blank\">chanting<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/origins-of-the-origin-sound-of-the-universe\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Om<\/em>-ing<\/a>\u00a0gives you the heebie-jeebies, trust that it doesn\u2019t have to be all about that. Make it what you want. But know that the sheer act of moving through a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yoganonymous.com\/yogaeverydamnday-vinyasa-yoga-go-with-the-flow\" target=\"_blank\">vinyasa yoga flow<\/a>\u00a0is meditative. And once you have met that calm, you can always come back to it, carrying it over to any other sport, obstacle, or arena of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Do you really need more inspiration than that?
