The Man Flow Yoga Team

Robert A., a first responder, first joined Man Flow Yoga about two years ago. At the time, he needed a change to his workouts. His job requires his body to go from cold to 200 miles an hour at the snap of a finger and he often has to lift heavy things when responding to emergencies. 

He knew that yoga could help his joints feel better and help him slim down, so he could be better at his job and enjoy his hobbies more. But he’s also the type of guy who didn’t feel comfortable going to a yoga class. Not only are in-person yoga classes dominated by women, but Robert even built a gym in his basement so he wouldn’t have to go to the gym…

Before James discovered Man Flow Yoga, he had a unique yoga class he attended: He did yoga with a group of other guys in his female yoga instructor’s basement. And this gave James his first taste of why men need to approach yoga differently than women do. Men, on average, aren’t as flexible as women—and trying to mimic a female yoga instructor can actually cause injuries for men (instead of helping them avoid them, as yoga should do).

James went to his yoga weekly with a few other guys, where they followed a more male-centric yoga program. But then, after about a year of this routine, the group broke up and James felt lost. And so, the sudden end to his yoga sessions with other men left him lost. Well, that’s when he started searching for other men-centric yoga classes and discovered Man Flow Yoga…

Lee works as a wildlife and landscape photographer, so his livelihood requires him to get into awkward positions to capture the perfect, most breathtaking pictures. And so, he thought that adding a yoga routine to his fitness regimen would help him stay injury-free and flexible enough to do his job.

Lee’s never been particularly limber. After long days of shooting, the stiffness and tightness he felt in his muscles drove him crazy. So when his wife became a certified yoga instructor, it was natural that he started doing more yoga.

Man Flow Yoga was the perfect type of yoga for his specific goals! 

Steve joined Man Flow Yoga over 3 years ago. Today, even though he’s nearing 60 years old, he says he’s never felt better in his life — a common thread amongst other Man Flow Yoga Members. 

Before Man Flow Yoga, the only kind of exercise Steve did was hike. At this stage of his life, he no longer cares about building the perfect body, hitting new PRs in the gym, or being absolutely shredded. Instead, he just wanted to increase his flexibility and mobility, so he could continue hiking well into his 60s.
