[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s reasonable to have all-women yoga classes. I know that men joining in the classes was one of the main reason I stopped going, years ago. I’m the opposite of a liberal SJW but I did enjoy feeling that the class was a “safe space” in a way and now it’s not. I don’t enjoy random men having their faces up my butt or worse. We didn’t worry about letting out gas or the outline of thick pads in our yoga pants when we’re on our period etc. I can see that there should be classes available to men but there should also be female only classes available.[/quote]

How close are you all sitting to one another? I have not experienced this, and frankly, I wouldn’t want a woman so close either.   But as grunting and gas, isn’t yoga physical *and* mental. If you are thinking of the noises, I’d kindly suggest refocusing back to your breath and posture.

How can you when you’re nauseous from the farts and the guy dripping sweat trying to do more than he’s capable of falling of balance and flying sweat everywhere. So disgusting. [/quote]

It takes practice for sure. It sounds like you might benefit from some of that practice refocusing. [/quote]

Lady, I’ve been doing yoga since 1999. There is no level of mindfulness is gonna allow you to mindfully ignore some sweaty man farting next to you. It’s common decency and respect of others around you.  [/quote]

I am unclear why someone else sweating would affect you.  While it sounds like you have been doing yoga for a long time, it appears that you still get hooked very easily. But you can always work on that if you wish.[/quote]

The irony is your judging tone of other posters. It’s an interesting paradox that the more you participate in mindfulness the more you actually notice things around you.

I personally have participated in classes where, after class, I step in a man’s pool of sweat he has not cleaned up, and have had sweat fly off a man onto my mat or onto me personally. For me, it’s a sanitary issue that you cannot mindfulness away. Could be just my experience, but I have never had this occur with a woman. [/quote]
