INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY | WHEN IS A MAN A MAN?
When is a man a man?*
Today is the International International Men's Day For us, this is a reason to make "being a man" a topic. The aim of International Men's Day is to make men more aware of their health - but at the same time it is also about equality between men and women.
We men live on average 5-7 years less than women. No surprise when you consider how many of us live. Little exercise, bad food, high risk-taking, self-destruction and stress - always faster, further, never stopping and always having to perform.
We often stand in the way of our own happiness. We always want more and are never satisfied with the status quo. And on the way to our supposed happiness, we often forget the people around us who suffer because of our ego trip.
We men don't have it easy either... We live with the constant fear of appearing unmanly and therefore hide our true feelings behind a hard shell. We bottle everything up until it eats us up. We don't show any weakness: not to ourselves, not to our fellow men, not to potential partners - not to anyone.
Of course, this was all a bit exaggerated and certainly doesn't apply to every man. But maybe everyone will feel a little addressed here. We want to inspire men to discover and nurture their self-loving side. yoga and meditation can help us to develop a better relationship with ourselves and start listening to ourselves more. From the moment we come to terms with ourselves, we can also communicate better and become not only "better" men, but also better partners, fathers, children and friends.

Mann sein. Ich gebe zu für mich eine tägliche Herausforderung. Ebenso darf ich Vater sein, was nicht weniger Herausfordernd ist. Warum ich eigentlich diesen Post schreibe? Naja, es ist 06:11 Uhr mein kleiner Sohn vier Jahre schläft noch und ich bin seit 4:30 Uhr wach, habe schon Yoga gemacht und sitze mit meiner Tasse Kakao am Esstisch. Ich bin 40 Jahre alt, geschieden und Vater von zwei Kindern mit zwei unterschiedlichen Frauen. Irgendwie empfand ich hier, bei Ikarusyoga das Bedürfnis mich mitzuteilen. Danke für die Gelegenheit dazu.🙏🏻
Naja. Jedenfalls freue ich mich schon sehr auf die neue Phönix Kollektion. Danke Ihr Männer von Ikarus🫶🏼
