My name’s Bruce, and I’m from Nashville, Tennessee. The way I got acquainted with Man Flow Yoga was through some advertising. I tried out a video that Dean had on Amazon Prime. But even before that, I have been doing yoga for a few years at the rec center at Vanderbilt University, where I’m a professor. But as things got completely shut down during COVID, was looking for other ways to be taught and to keep up in my yoga practice.
There was, on Facebook, an ad, and I said, “This guy looks familiar.” Then I realized it was the guy from the Prime video, and I was hooked. I had really benefited from excellent instructors at that rec center and discovered very quickly that what Dean was doing was right in line with these highly skilled teachers and well-informed people who knew all about physiology. And then Dean brought even the better angle for me as a guy.
I had been instructed elsewhere about breathing, but Dean is excellent. This really helps my stress levels. My work is doing a lot of research and writing, which actually is very solipsistic, but highly pressured, deadline-oriented work. And so all these different types of practices, I take advantage of all of them, just paying attention to my body on a given day and what I think might be of help to me, and I’m grateful to have benefited.
