The Man Flow Yoga Team

Today’s guest, Barry, is a recently-retired pharmacist who has learned first-hand from his extensive experience in the healthcare industry just how important movement and strength are for preventing serious chronic diseases.

If you have a desire to avoid being reliant on medications long-term to maintain your health, perhaps nothing is more important than figuring out how to remain active and build strength—especially as you age.

About 12 years ago, today’s guest, Chad, pulled his back out like never before. He was bedridden for four days. He couldn’t walk properly for weeks. And when he went to his doctor, his doctor told him: He had the back of an 80-year-old man at only 42!

Determined to avoid surgery, Chad started to focus on specific exercises that could improve his back like in-person yoga classes, physical therapy, and watching random YouTube videos.

Lee H., a 56-year-old wildlife photographer, hasn’t always been a bastion of health. After a shocking divorce, Lee ballooned up to almost 300 pounds even though he only stands 5’7” tall!

To make matters worse… Not only does Lee’s career make him put his body into bizarre positions—sometmes for hours at a time—but Lee also suffers from multiple familial lipoma syndrome: A rare, genetic skin condition that causes him to have 200-300 tumors on his body at any given time.

And you know what? Thanks to Man Flow Yoga, Lee lost 50+ pounds, extended his photography career, and used it as a starting point for dialing in his diet.

Today’s guest, firefighter Bob M., routinely puts his body in precarious positions—crawling positions, in positions where his hands are above his head, and flexing his legs into bizarre positions—to save lives. Literally.

Yet, despite being a firefighter, he’s never had an injury on the job. In fact, he’s kept his injury-free streak alive for the past five years thanks to Man Flow Yoga.

For the past 17 years, today’s guest, Kyle R., has been committed to distance running. But this came with a steep toll to his joints: Shin splints, aching knees, and compromised ankle mobility threatened Kyle’s running life.

Kyle didn’t want to give up running, but his body was betraying him. Until he started doing yoga more often. Not only did yoga extend his running life, but it’s also made significant improvements to his mental and overall health.
