About this ebook
Practical, down-to-earth advice on yoga for men, weekend warriors, aging athletes, and anyone else who could benefit from a bit more flexibility.
“An excellent introduction . . . fun and humorous . . . This book will help make yoga less intimidating, and it’s a great way to inspire the men you care about.”—Namaste Nourished
Thirty-six million Americans practice yoga for its touted benefits: serenity, flexibility, strength, endurance, and reduced stress. Would you like to join them? If so, this simple guide is for you.
Yoga for the Inflexible Male features three yoga practices, each about an hour long and containing around fifteen poses, with most poses having a Good, Not-So-Bad, or Ugly variation so that almost anyone can participate (no XY chromosome, prior experience, or athletic ability necessary). There are breathing tips and easy-to-follow drawings for every pose, and the book is full of genuine yoga wisdom and jokes to make the yoga part go down easy. There are special sequences geared for practitioners of specific sports, such as running, cycling, and golf, and suggestions for props that can be found in any house—so no extra gear to buy.
This book is perfect if you are looking to attain the wellness benefits of yoga in the comfort of your home and without judgement.
Bonus: This edition includes access to a free restorative practice PDF. See “Yoga Matt’s Final Roll-up” inside!

It's "Anybody's Bike Book" for those tuning up an inflexible body to live and play without pain. Clear instructions, helpfully illustrated. Three complete workouts, with suggestions for recombining the poses if you have a particular sport in mind. Each pose is described and illustrated at multiple levels, to make it inclusive, even if you have an old weekend warrior wound or flexibility challenge. Fun while focused on how each pose moves you forward.
