Free Yoga Workouts for Men

We want you to see for yourself that yoga can be the ideal workout for men. To demonstrate this, we’ve put together a large collection of free yoga workouts for men that you can do from home. This is the ideal opportunity to find out what yoga is all about., so grab your mat and try these yoga workouts.

Yoga For Men Series

The Yoga for Men Series is a series of workouts designed specifically for men who are new to yoga. These 30-minute routines help you learn the basics of yoga in a way that’s guy-friendly.

Men and women are built differently. When you see your standard yoga picture of a woman doing some impossible stretch, it’s easy to be put off. However, these postures include modifications that work for guys (no matter how inflexible you might be)

The free yoga workout videos are technique-focused so you do each pose safely and effectively, and the workouts are challenging enough to help you get stronger; but easy enough for beginners to follow along without issue. This allows you to focus on improving flexibility while still working on your strength, enabling you to work on every aspect of your fitness from the comfort of your own home.

Yoga for Men Series - Workout #1

Yoga for Men Series - Workout #2

About This Workout (29 Minutes)

We start off with a variety of basic balancing exercises to strengthen your hips, ankles, and core and then move to full body exercises to build strength, endurance, and mobility. These postures target your hips, but you’ll get plenty of spine, back, and shoulder work as well. I recommend having 2 blocks and a strap. If you don’t have those, you can easily use a stack of books, foam rollers, or two water bottles for the blocks, and a belt or dog leash for the strap.

Yoga for Men Series - Workout #3

About This Workout (31 Minutes)

This routine starts upper-body, core, and spine work, and then moves on to balancing postures to build lower-body strength and improve balance. You’ll learn proper technique, understand target areas, what to feel (and what not to feel), and much more in this 30-minute yoga for men workout.

Want to increase your flexibility through passive stretching? Here’s a great routine for increasing flexibility in your hips, shoulders, and spine. You’ll also be learning the basics of how to increase flexibility concentrating on your breath, which you’ll be able to apply to any other yoga workout.

The Strength Foundations Course

The Strength Foundations Course is a meticulously-designed program to build strength and mobility essentials. There is very specific attention to technique, helping you understand exactly what to feel and what not to feel. This program combines isometric exercises, yoga postures, and basic (but essential) movements to help you build a solid fitness foundation. It’s the most transformational program in the Man Flow Yoga Members’ Area, and it’s a cornerstone of the Man Flow Yoga fitness philosophy.

The Strength Foundations Course is a full-body, comprehensive program that addresses overall strength, mobility, flexibility, and balance. It targets common weaknesses and muscular imbalances that we have as a result of our daily lives (think sitting in a chair all day). This program helps to undo those weaknesses, restoring the natural movement patterns of your body, and helping to take you to the next level of fitness.

This workout is an intensive core and hips workout, with a strong focus on active muscle engagement. Remember that the warm-up IS the workout, and push yourself from start to finish.

It’s as hard as you want it to be, so make sure to push yourself the entire time.

Yoga Essentials for Core and Hips

About This Workout (32 Minutes)

Core & Hip Muscle Engagement in Yoga Essentials (SFC #4)

This workout starts off with exercises to isolate specific muscle groups and cause muscle fatigue, to help you build endurance and get stronger.

Avoid “going through the motions”. The point of this course is to help you develop new strength, and that doesn’t happen by doing things the way you’re accustomed to. Remember to push yourself the entire time. Try to learn something new about your body.

Best Shoulder Workout for Shoulder Mobility and Flexibility

About This Workout (32 Minutes)

Shoulder Flexibility & Mobility for Beginners

Here’s a 27-minute workout designed to help beginners improve their shoulder flexibility and mobility. It’s especially great for guys who are more inflexible, because we start with stretches and modified poses to help you open up your shoulder, and then move on to yoga postures (still with modifications for inflexible people) to build flexibility and strength in your shoulders & upper-back. It allows you to initially increase your flexibility before getting into yoga postures, which makes it way easier if you’re not that flexible yet. You’ll need a yoga block, strap, and a wall for this workout. (If you don’t have those, you can use similar equipment for the same result.)

How often should you do these routines?

You can do 1-2 per day, depending on your fitness level. If you do 1, do it whenever you can best fit it into your schedule, but try to finish it before it gets dark so it doesn’t keep you up at night. If you do 2 per day, split them up to do one in the morning, and one in the late afternoon or early evening.

What other workouts do you recommend?

Man Flow Yoga workouts are mostly comprehensive, full-body workouts, but one thing that we can’t do is pulling exercises. For this, you’ll need some very basic equipment – either a set of resistance bands or a pull-up bar you can hang over a door frame. Doing about 2-3 pulling sessions per week for 10-20 minutes will help you keep your shoulders and upper-body strong.

Though you can get almost everything you need with resistance training bands and a pull-up bar, I’d recommend getting dumbbells as well – if it’s possible. Lastly, if you have the space for it, I’d recommend getting a squat rack (with a pull-up bar) and an olympic bar with plate weights.
