Zara Kayani leads the classes and said he was passionate about delivering health improvements for the men participating.
“Younger men are more into body-building, body image, but as the men grow older there’s less opportunity for them,” he said.
He said he believed the classes helped to improve flexibility, and that they had both mental and spiritual benefits.
“It’s an opportunity for men to come together, have a laugh,” he said.
He said he had no idea why the video of the class had found a large audience, but admitted the classes had proved popular.
“We’ve done no publicity, it’s just word of mouth.
“We’ve seen the classes grow from seven to 20 to 25, so we’re having to limit some of the classes because the numbers are growing day by day.”
