There is evidence that some of the more physically demanding forms of yoga, such as Bikram and Ashtanga, are of particular appeal to men of marginal or disenfranchised backgrounds.

The appeal of Bikram and Ashtanga to men of marginal backgrounds may partly be due to these forms' associations with masculinity, as well as with desire for social empowerment.
“This may partly be due to these forms' associations with masculinity, as well as with desire for social empowerment (Ben Hamed this issue; Shaw this issue; Griera 2017; Griera and Clot-Garrell 2015).”

While yoga can be an exclusive practice (see Ben Hamed this issue; Campeau-Bouthillier, this issue), an emphasis on mental as well as physical health also motivates initiatives to offer yoga to marginalised groups such as prisoners (Griera 2017; Griera and Clot-Garrell 2015; Sfendla et al. 2018) and refugees (Goodman and Dent 2019; Krause et al. 2021).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
