Gita Iyengar says that yoga for women is much more important than for men. It means physiological necessity. From the point of view of psychology, women often experience complexes and depression, they have to give in to men, to be weaker, more submissive. Meanwhile, stress is placed on their shoulders, connected with the whole family, because women are much more worried about all the men in the world.
