Uhm RiKD what do you have against yoga.. You look like you're just reinforcing stereotypes from films or something.

Go do yoga if you want to do yoga. Just don't mention once every three sentences that you do yoga if you're talking to someone
if you're so embarrassed.

People do yoga in the parks during summer. They might be really early or happen at random times so you've missed them. Just ask what's going on and if you can join them next time. They might ask for a small fee or it might be free. There are closed events aswell, or full groups. If you are nice and can interact with girls and have no problem being around a group of girls then they probably will welcome you. It might be a girl thing and you've got to respect that. If you are awkward with girls then you can start by doing stuff at home, learning from the internet. It is more fun to do yoga in groups but the point of the matter is - there are no shortcuts. Learning to do yoga correctly takes a lot of time and effort.

^WTF trollaments?

Do not approach people doing yoga in parks and ask if you can "join them".

Even if you know it's a scheduled class and not just a group of friends this is still
not the way to approach joining it.

Maybe you should go to a yoga forum and get some advice on 3betting OOP.

I'd like to go to fix a back problem and just increase flexibility. Either way, how do you go about not looking like a creeper? I've briefly looked at the yoga classes going on at my gym, and I have yet to spot a guy. i'm no expert but have used a lot of rodney yee's dvds. back care yoga is fantastic. am pm yoga. yoga for beginners. yoga for athletes. has anyone on this forum gone to a yoga class at a local gym? I would love to hear a trip report from someone on the other side. Anytime I see a guy in one of those classes by himself it just screams out un-redeemable loser and/or creeper. They would have to end up being gay, a winning winner who just doesn't give a fuck and wanted to do some yoga (may or may not be high as fuck and/or tripping on acid), or a winning winner who is banging every chick in the class for that behavior to be redeemable. (i realize this last paragraph probably drastically reduces the chances of getting a trip report but it's kind of a "i could be being an asshole/prove me wrong" situation).

See that kind of typical perception of yoga is why I asked what I asked in the first place. I would also initially have a difficult time not looking at that only guy in the room as some loser (soon to be me), but I think that's just natural and it shouldn't be that way. I also second wanting to hear a trip report from someone. Still curious as to if people definitely recommend seeking out a private class as opposed to the gym ones. I'm probably going to try it out at the gym this week. My doctor keeps recommending I go for my back problems, and I guess I have no reason not to
