“I’ve been following along with the sessions for two weeks now and I’m already feeling the benefits, my pain has reduced massively and I’m a bit more flexible.”
I’ve recently started doing yoga due to severe pain in my back and tightness and discomfort in various parts of my body. I’m a HGV driver who lifts weights and never stretches, so my body has seized up! I’ve been following along with the sessions for two weeks now and I’m already feeling the benefits, my pain has reduced massively and I’m a bit more flexible. I’ve tried some follow along yoga on YouTube from other people and I’ve been to some yoga classes, but in all honesty, I find Dean’s follow along sessions on Man Flow Yoga much more effective. Dean teaches in a much more practical way and he’s got a huge variety of sessions on his app and website. There’s workouts of varying lengths, there’s relaxed workouts, more intense, demanding workouts, wherever you’re looking for, you’ll find it here. I’ve been doing the strength workouts, I had no idea that I could get such a workout from doing yoga and just holding my body in certain positions. In my nativity, I thought I needed heavy weights to get a workout! I’ve also been doing the workout for herniated discs and that has helped massively. Thank you Dean and the Man Flow Yoga team!

“Man Flow Yoga – Fitness, Health, and Joy”
Man Flow Yoga is one of two fitness and health apps/programs which I use religiously. MFY has made a tremendous difference in my life helping me improve strength, balance, and mobility as well as giving me more confidence and appreciation for this 66 year old body. As a recently retired physical therapist (who specialized in middle and senior adult fitness, recovery, and general health), I can assure you that Dean’s many programs are based on sound science as well as inspirational teaching and encouragement. I truly believe Dean has found his calling. The team he has assembled and the caring community of MFY followers on FB will help anyone regardless of fitness level, prior experience, or mindset to bring health, fitness, and joy into their lives.

“Dean’s clarity and thoroughness in his instructions make everything so clear in all the poses.”
It has been over five weeks since I made the commitment and I have no idea why I waited so long. Worth every penny. I had been using a different app for some 5+ years but have seen more progress with Dean’s guidance in these 5 weeks than in all those previous years. His clarity and thoroughness in his instructions make everything so clear in all the poses. Cannot recommend this enough!

“I feel like I am in my 30s again.”
Outstanding instruction with great results. Dean models how to do each pose, shows modifications, and explains the benefits associated with the pose and proper breathing. I am 62 and have been doing Man Flow Yoga for 3 months. MFY has made a huge impact on me both physically and mentally. I feel like I am in my 30s again.
Chris
“Enter Dean with MFY. This is the perfect rehab for my body.”
I am an old broken-down weightlifter and ex-athlete. After many surgeries and much arthritic pain in my knees, back, and shoulders I made the decision to pursue yoga. I did not want the chants, middle eastern mysticism, or women teaching me. Enter Dean with MFY. This is the perfect rehab for my body. After one week my back felt better than ever. Over two months in and my knees are feeling good again.
Ty
“Dean does a fantastic job of explaining the “why’s” of every session…”
Dean does a fantastic job of explaining the “why’s” of every session and I can definitely feel and notice a difference in just a few months. Not only are the workouts fun but difficult, I really enjoy the Better Man podcasts and discussions. The stress relief and better sleep are a big plus too. Jesse also does a great job motivating and conversing with every on the community page.

Real Member Stories

“I knew pretty much after my first workout that like this is what it was gonna be. I wanted something that was straightforward to the point, would help me get to my goals in the first like 3 months I lost like 40 pounds. My entire fitness journey the past 2 years, I attribute directly to starting with Man Flow Yoga.

“Man Flow Yoga was a great way to both gain muscle strength, gain flexibility, and prevent a lot of the injuries that one experiences when they start training really hard, really fast. Yeah,l love yoga, but I mean I really missed weight lifting. And I can definitely tell a difference in the cross training with that as well.
