At Home Yoga Path

Video Transcript

Hey guys, it’s Dean welcome to Man Flow Yoga. In this video I want to talk about our At-Home Yoga path.

So this is for people who are interested in the benefits of a yoga practice but might not want to go to a yoga studio, or maybe you had a yoga instructor that you liked but he or she left and now you’re looking for a yoga instructor. The biggest benefit to an at-home yoga practice is that you can do it whenever and wherever you want so you don’t have to drive, you don’t have to waste that time driving, and you can do the workouts whenever it suits your schedule.

The other aspect is that you can select a workout that’s based on your needs instead of doing a general one-size-fits-all class. Now where Man Flow Yoga comes in, and where this is distinct, is that our workouts are shorter and typically more efficient and more effective than other yoga workouts. We also have modifications for people if they’re not flexible and also we show you how to make the exercises more advanced or challenge yourself throughout the workout.

Now what I think is really cool about this is that we also have structured workout programs so that you can address whatever fitness needs you’re working on so if you’re an office worker, for example, and you want to work on your posture or getting rid of back pain we have programs specifically for that. If you’re looking to work on injury prevention for your knees or for your hips or your ankles we have programs for that. If you’re looking to use yoga as a challenging form of fitness, if you’re looking for intense yoga workouts to really challenge yourself to really push yourself, but without having to go to a yoga studio, then this is a really ideal fit for you.

So if you’re looking bottom line if you’re looking to workout at home if you’re looking for the convenience of an at-home workout and you want to consistently get a high-quality, great workout this is a perfect option. We have over 280 workouts we have tons of different yoga workouts, we have flows, we have more slow-moving workouts, we have the structured workout programs that I talked about, tutorials and exercises to help you improve your technique and get better in a really awesome community to help hold you accountable and inspire you to do your workouts, which is ultimately going to get you better results and it makes you more consistent with your workouts.

Or maybe you’ve been unsuccessful with other types of exercise, and you’re looking for a fitness-focused yoga that will work for you? If this sounds like you, then you’re in luck.
