Member Highlights

57-year-old Man Flow Yoga Member, Barry P., originally joined Man Flow Yoga after suffering a back injury while skiing. During his recovery process, his physiotherapist recommended building his core strength — an often overlooked way to prevent back pain.

Also, as Barry grew older, he realized that he was also getting weaker. Besides walking his dog, he hadn’t done much physical activity prior to joining Man Flow Yoga.

Nick G., a 48-year-old Man Flow Yoga Member, is an accomplished long-distance runner. To date, he’s completed 5 marathons and over 25 half-marathons! 

While both are incredible feats, he didn’t run 30+ marathons and half-marathons without his fair share of running-related injuries. In fact, that’s what originally drew him to Man Flow Yoga: He wanted to maintain his physical fitness and balance out the repetitive movements that come with long-distance running.

Trevor W., a 35-year-old therapist and Man Flow Yoga Member, had lower back pain that agonized him. After visiting his doctor, he found out that he had a bulged disc in his lower back.

Before scheduling surgery, his doctor recommended physical therapy to see if he could fix his herniated disc without surgery. So Trevor found a physical therapist, and then he also went the extra mile: Trevor knew that yoga and physical therapy, while different, are similar, so he also joined a few studio yoga classes. But the yoga classes were never a great fit. He was often the only man in the classes. The instructor taught yoga for women’s more flexible bodies, which meant he always struggled with certain poses. He never felt fully comfortable in the classes: They felt exclusive and clique-y. And scheduling time in the yoga studio became impossible with his heavy workout.

That’s when he decided to search for another way to do yoga—and discovered Man Flow Yoga.

Glenn went from zero activity for 30 years to noticing a bizarre feeling after making his daily yoga routine a habit: He started feeling really, really great. Better than he’s felt through his 40’s and 50’s—as a 62-year-old man.

Not only did his body feel great, but his posture improved too (something his wife always complained about to him because working at a desk for 30 years causes all sorts of postural problems).

But his physical health isn’t the only thing he improved with the help of Man Flow Yoga…

After joining Man Flow Yoga, Daniel experienced a massive “win.” Before joining Man Flow Yoga, he realized that whenever he ran more than a mile, his right knee gave out. Besides being a former hockey player, Daniel is also an avid OCR (Obstacle Course Race) runner. And his right knee giving out whenever he ran more than a mile spelled trouble for his athletic career.

And so, Daniel originally signed up for the Bulletproof Your Knees program. Besides helping him revitalize his knee (and be able to run more than a mile without his right knee giving out), consistently following this program also helped him rekindle his love for exercise.
