5-Time Marathon Runner Uses Man Flow Yoga To Prevent Running-Related Injuries (Member Highlight: Nick G.)

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.

Reflecting On 2023 & Setting Goals For 2024 | Dean Pohlman | Better Man Podcast Ep. 076

Reflecting On 2023 & Setting Goals For 2024 | Dean Pohlman | Better Man Podcast Ep. 076

The statistics around New Year’s Resolutions are startling: 23% of people give up on their New Year’s Resolution by the end of the first week. By the end of January, 43% of people had already quit on their resolutions. And only 9% of people actually complete their resolutions by the end of the year.

Most people don’t understand how to properly reflect on the past year and set realistic, yet challenging goals for 2024. Even I have fallen into this trap in previous years, which is why I wanted to record this episode.

How Trevor Used Man Flow Yoga To Recover From A Bulged Disc—Both Pre- & Post Surgery (Member Highlight: Trevor W.)

How Trevor Used Man Flow Yoga To Recover From A Bulged Disc—Both Pre- & Post Surgery (Member Highlight: Trevor W.)

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.

Subtract; Don’t Add (Creating Space to Create Change for 2024) | Dean Pohlman | Better Man Podcast Ep. 075

Modern society, social media, and other outside forces convince us that we’re not living up to the best version of ourselves. So, despite already maxing out our willpower, we continue to try to add more and more habits to reach this idealized version of ourselves. But here’s the thing…

The fastest and most effective way to create positive change in your life is by subtracting habits that no longer serve you, instead of just letting them pile up.
