Yoga is often treated as a women-centered activity in the U.S., especially when it comes to studio culture. Walk past most yoga classes, and you’ll usually see a room full of women, which has helped create the idea that these spaces function as a kind of quiet, shared refuge.
Of course, men practice yoga too, and plenty of them teach it professionally. Still, expectations form over time, especially when a studio’s regular crowd looks the same week after week.
