This blog discusses how you can you build muscle and get stronger than you ever thought possible with yoga. It also introduces the release of my newest yoga workout program, Yoga Beast 2.0.
This one’s for all the naysayers:
- Yoga can’t build muscle.
- You can’t get ripped with yoga.
- Yoga’s not a hard enough workout.
- Yoga is only for women.
Well I’ve got something to tell you – Not all yoga is built alike.
It’s true that most yoga programs won’t do this for you. But most yoga programs are unlike anything you’ll see with Man Flow Yoga. Get ready to build muscle and get stronger than you ever thought possible with yoga.
| Typical Yoga | Man Flow Yoga |
|---|---|
| Postures held for just a few seconds, not enough to build significant muscle | Postures held for 30, 45, 60 seconds or more, to help build muscle & increase strength |
| Focuses on passive flexibility; good for recovery, but not for strength | Focuses on active mobility; great for improving strength & building muscle |
| Emphasizes flexibility and muscle relaxation, doesn’t focus on strength as much | Emphasizes strength & functional mobility, for a well-rounded, results-focused workout |
| Expects you to understand technique, does not give enough cues for proper form | Wants you to improve technique & get better, gives cues and modifications to help |
| Includes only yoga postures | Combines yoga and bodyweight exercise for an incredibly-effective, fun workout |
We’ve taken the best of yoga and combined it with other bodyweight exercise to make it fitness-focused and results-oriented. This is a yoga program for people who want to get strong using nothing other than a yoga mat and their body – and have a great time while doing it.
Get ready for a series of challenging, intense, and FUN yoga workouts to help you:
- build lean, chiseled muscle
- increase your strength, endurance, and mobility
- Learn intermediate & advanced yoga and other bodyweight techniques
- And transform the way you feel on a day-to-day basis.

MY #1 FITNESS RESOURCE!About the author, Dean Pohlman, Founder & CEO of Man Flow Yoga, Author of Yoga Fitness for Men, Expert on Yoga Fitness for Men.
I think that Dean Holman is very good teaching people and making the new book.
Thank you, Siti!! That means a lot, I appreciate the kind words. Hope you continue to enjoy the videos.
Just finished the UBP, and Strength Foundations Course together. Cant wait to start the Yoga Beast Program!!
Beast mode, engage! That’s a tough combo, Greg, nice job.
Thanks Dean this was a great post. How many times in a week do you think we should work the Glutes ?
Hey Ross – it just depends on how intense your workouts are. You should use your glutes if you’re ever doing exercises that require your glutes and hips. If you were to target your glutes specifically, I’d say two times per week is sufficient.
