Gotham : NY Men Do Yoga

The Oct. Men's issue of  Gotham has this to say about " real" men doing yoga :

It appears that the type A , successful, ultra-competitive, Y chromosome set is doing a lot more than lifting weights and wearing out the rubber on the Life Fitness machines.

Believe it or not, according to a Feb. 2005 Yoga Journal study,nearly a quarter of those practicing yoga are men.

So who are these men?

They are just likely to be hedge-fund managers as artists , spurred into action by the desire to get ahead of middle-aged sloth. Randy Lampert, an investment banker, says , " after a really good session , I have heightened energy and a real sense of self. It's almost as if I've worked out and had a massage at the same time."
