20 years ago, Man Flow Yoga Member, Eddie Caliendo, got a dreaded diagnostic from his doctor: He had rheumatoid arthritis!

Most people with rheumatoid arthritis get medicine from their rheumatologist to mitigate their symptoms. And Eddie was no different. After receiving the diagnosis, his rheumatologist prescribed him medicine, and he continued living a mostly normal life.

But within 6 months of joining Man Flow Yoga, he not only began to manage the pain, but even evaded it completely!

Man Flow Yoga Member, Anthony O’Leary, like many other Members discovered Man Flow Yoga on complete accident. At the time, Anthony was pushing 300 lbs. Other workout modalities, like P90X for example, weren’t working for Anthony. And after losing his job at the beginning of the pandemic, he remembered thinking to himself:

“Either I’m gonna sit on a couch and eat my way to 400 lbs, or I could do something about it.”

That one decision changed the rest of his life. Not sure what to do, he began searching YouTube for “yoga for men,” discovered Dean and Man Flow Yoga, and began what’s blossomed into an incredible weight loss and fitness journey. He signed up for the Strengths Foundation Challenge, and within his first three months of Man Flow Yoga, Anthony shed 40 lbs of fat!

Mike Hensley recently celebrated his 40th birthday, and his one-year Man Flow Yoga anniversary. Before Man Flow Yoga, Mike felt much older than his age. Even though he wasn’t even in his 40s yet, he felt like an old man. 

He dreaded bending over. Tying his shoes made him feel like he was going to pass out. Reaching for the bottom shelves at grocery stores was an impossible task. He avoided the gym, in large part, because he feared he wouldn’t be able to lift dumbbells off of the ground. Needless to say, Mike’s inability to bend over took a toll on his well being. 

Well, that started to change when he joined Man Flow Yoga.
