It's probably a good suggestion, but I find myself quite repulsed by the idea of entering a yoga class. Wouldn't the woman most likely be a vegan or Buddhist or some other kind of weirdo? I dunno about that.
This will vary by location, but in my experience the majority of white women with college degrees do yoga and/or pilates. The classes they go to also by and large don't do the hippie breathing/meditating stuff anymore, they've all reduced it down to the flow between more-or-less demanding postures.

You will become notably more attractive to women and up your social vibe if you do yoga/pilates/some other form of posture work. Broader shoulders, an extra inch/half-inch or so of height, not slouching, and just the good vibes of not being in subtle pain all the time from working at a keyboard.

Odds are high, but don't forget the rise of right-wing hippies into yoga and alt medicine and all that thanks to covid nonsense. The person you see struggling to keep their eyes from rolling during some woo statements might be on the same page as you.
The one I went to was definitely a "women's space" and my brain reacted accordingly, but in general the teachers wanted more students so they could make more money, and they worked overtime to avoid being sexist because that's mean and icky, so the overall vibe was hilariously schizophrenic and I could find something to amuse myself every time I went. Just about every session could generate a humorous anecdote.
