For several years, yoga was the only workout I did

I'm actually a certified instructor, but I haven't taught much. I'm not nearly as flexible as I was, but it has served me well with a lot of exercises. Most people don't put nearly enough emphasis on flexibility as a part of overall fitness.
There are tons of different styles, from those that put me to sleep (literally), and those that kicked my butt.
As for being the only guy in class, no complaints here. I met my wife in a yoga class
Glad you enjoyed it!
