As a woman, I love your videos and workouts. While I have enjoyed some of my female instructors, some really don't understand the muscle issues that come with working a "blue-collar" job and being hard on your body/joints day in a day out. Your lack of background music and fluffy commentary is refreshing. Thank you!
I agree. My son told me about this and I love this. This is better than any I have seen. I took yoga instructor training years ago and it was no where near as detailed and easy to follow as this. Thank you.
I did yoga club in college, yoga classes online and in person, off and on for a few years, in this single video I learned so much more than anything else I've come across; I would highly recommend a watch!
I've practiced yoga off and on for approximately 10 years mainly to increase mobility throughout my body for the other activities I enjoy. Those activities include mountain biking, swimming, White-tail deer hunting, and many other activities. I agree, most of the content available is by women for women. YES, this is absolutely helpful for men. I look forward to practicing more of them.

Woke up today and said "I am sick and tired of hurting every day," and here I am. At 54 years young, 35 pounds overweight, and having had double hip replacement this year, I have never felt worse. Going to try this for 90 days and hope I can get back to life that feels normal again.

I’ve found that every time I do yoga or a yoga class it’s always totally different. My mother taught yoga when I was a child so I was used to doing it. I love these videos because I find them challenging and also relaxing. I’m not interested in learning all the poses and becoming a yoga specialist, I’m really happy to follow, be guided, and come out if it feeling physically and emotionally better 😊
I’m 59, and have dabbled in yoga over the years, having been introduced to it through Martial arts. Lately, I have seen several elderly family members struggle horribly with lack of strength and in flexibility. I decided that I never wanted that to happen to me, at least not through my own complacency. I feel better now than I have for years, having done yoga daily for six months. Also, yoga has greatly improved my meditation practice. I am able to sit more comfortably, and concentrate more deeply. Manflow yoga is awesome because it’s very instructive. Love Sean Vigue too, and Yoga with Adriene. Thanks.
I've been suffering from knee pain and back pain for years, I've been doing some of your exercises for a week and I am feeling the difference. I've tried other exercises before but it's the first time I see a considerable improvement. I am hopeful now. I can't thank you enough, Thank you so much
really glad I discovered your channel. I do think there is a difference between yoga for men and for women. Most yoga sessions I have attended have been mostly women and the focus was on flexibility. For what ever reason, men have less capacity for flexibility than women. I think that it only makes sense to cater sessions to the body types that are participating.
I have been doing yoga for almost 2 years. I really appreciate you going slow and explaining. I had a brain injury 23 years ago. I am weaker on my right side and I have to think before using my right muscled for things like walking and eating. Yoga has helped me start to flow better and not think so much,
I've been working with online yoga for several years. They are always led by women and the hardest thing about this is the inherent differences between men and women's bodies that allow them to get into positions I may never be able to! Knowing what's realistic and addressing issues around men's bodies is helpful.
We really appreciate your feedback. Everyone is welcome to try MFY and can definitely benefit from it, but it was created specifically with men and their needs in mind. Hope you check out the whole Yoga for Men series in our channel.

I always come back to this workout when it's been a few weeks or months of no bodywork (i.e. due to travel, work, life, injuries). It's refreshing and my body appreciates this everytime.

I've commented on a couple of other videos, but only recently played this one to the end and heard you asking for a specific feedback; the routines are excellent, I've stuck with your vids since before Christmas last and have found my balance and mobility much improved. I've no real experience of others apart from 10 minute intros of various practicioners but they didn't connect with me - too much in the technical and aiming for too much for beginners. Your method seems to be such that progress can be made slowly, you don't show off your own ability, which I've found offputting in others. Your body is obviously the result of years of training and practice. I'm enjoying being able to stand and sit still for much longer than was possible due to painful lower back. And this is the main point for me and why I'm sticking with your style - the poses, stretches, and strengthening has help build up a strong lower back and torso. I can't praise enough your videos for getting me to this healthy place. And, of course, as with most decent exercise, the mind is healthier. Thank you so much Dean for putting all this on TH-cam, free. I would struggle to pay for the app. Go well. and I love the dogs!
Absolutely liked it. I am in the Military and consistently training which takes a toll on the body. As a man I never stretch, and do Yoga as much as I should. The poses for men allow me to get the stretching and conditioning that I need. Loved the video!!!
My experience is the YMCA early mornings with three different instructors on the three different days and they were all excellent. I was getting into great strength and able to have so much more movement then, COVID hit and I refused to be on the screen doing yoga. I found an instructor that did live (on screen) yoga and I did outdoors at a park socially distanced. It was a challenge being outside on cold foggy mornings in S.F. and the on screen was adding to my screen time. I've given up waiting for live group sessions and am happy to have found Man Flow- thank you.
Todd M thank you, Todd!! Glad you enjoyed this workout. Be sure to check out the rest of the videos in this free yoga for men series available on my TH-cam channel :-) TH-cam.com/manflowyoga
I recently completed a 30 day yoga program and although it was great, the program did not account for tight calves and hip flexors as much as I would have liked. Thanks for going deep into the explanations! I feel more limber already
I’ve been practicing yoga for 15 years. I’ve had a serious issue with sciatica and am trying everything. I really enjoyed this 20 minutes for men yogaflow. I’ll keep you updated 😎
I had sciatica for 10 years so I feel your pain. I cured it using the Mackenzie method which is basically a yoga posture & that lead me to yoga. How’s your sciatica 4 months on?
I hate yoga, BUT, I really like this video series, and Dean's focus on men's issues is a game changer. I've no fear of "girly" stuff, I've taken yoga classes before, even though I much prefer sports like horse riding and sailing. But this series is super for those of us who have to work for a living behind a desk and just hate sitting in traffic going to yoga classes. And this kind of MAN-yoga is a great support for the kinds of sports mentioned above. Dean is calm, intelligent and the course is super! I like the dog too!
Thank you so much for the awesome review and feedback Silver Wraith! We really appreciate your support, it's great to hear how helpful you find our content to be!

This is exactly what I needed. Previously I had done a few of the other female oriented youtube classes but this was a great change especially being orientated towards men. The suttle difference in keeping the back straight during child's pose had me stretching muscles I didnt even know existed. Time spent on each pose/exercise was perfect, which is one of the complaints I had about the other videos switching poses too fast. Will definitely be continuing to do workouts with Man Flow Yoga. Thanks!

Hello Dean, I'm a soon to be 67 year old guy who as age has kicked in gotten to get popping, cracking and everything else in between and gyms don't do it for me at my age but found your video and enjoyed it. I think just being active and trying to stay flexible will help me out. Thank you so much for your video.
Thank you, I tried Yoga twice before years ago so this is my first time in a long while. I actually made it through the workout (it was ugly but got it done) and didn't feel foolish like I did in the past. I am so happy I found this.
Great. I've done yoga for 15 or 20 years always led by women. If the regular teacher was out and a young woman was the instructor, I would skip the class. They just don't appreciate how inflexible an old man's body can be (I'm 76). It's great to see you address the physiological differences. Thank you.

Aside of getting rid of Back Pain, one of the most helpful things for me is the breathing aspect. it´s incredibly relaxing and helps me to focus. Thanx Man, lookin for more to come.
I recently chucked-in my desk job and purchased a small-holding. My body has rebelled and I have had awful back pain from moving to 'manual' labour. I promised myself the Winter to get fitter for Spring planting etc... I've been following these videos to strenghten back and core and get more flexible. My back pain has gone completely, my core is stronger and I genuinely look forward to following two of your work-outs per day. Thank you so much - this has made a real difference. Bring on the Spring !!
Thank you for your work here. I've done yoga off and on for years, and appreciate that your approach is free of the whole swami-baba-gi-guru jargon that so many other yoga teachers use. I'm accustomed to seeing only one or two guys in the room, so an entire class geared for men is refreshing.
Excellent 1st video for someone with virtually no yoga experience at all - me! I’m looking for yoga exercises specifically for older men +55 as I’ve tried classes led by women which are really targeted at women - no disrespect intended but us guys have got dangly bits and different physics to the gals! Looking forward to your next videos, thanks!
I really appreciate your approach. It's true that nowadays most yoga is by women for women. This is refreshingly doable over the hyper flexible nymph telling you not to worry you'll get it, set your intention....while doing splits beyond 180. Don't get me wrong the eye candy contortionists are nice to look at but not the guidance I need. A breath of fresh air for sure. Keep up the great work.
I've been saying for years that I was going to start complimenting my weight training with yoga, and now I can finally say I have. Thanks for the video; I'm really looking forward to great improvement in flexibility, balance and injury avoidance.

thank you, i just move to cali colombia, from miami, just for the quarantine, i hope yoga classes help me to deal with this situation. thank you, to not just yoga, you are saving lives too.
Loved the workout! You were excellent at describing thr moves and what I needec to be doing. I did miss yhr meditative Spect of ofher yoga instruction that I have received though.
I did piles of yoga in high school while playing rugby, to maintain mobility and reduce chances of injury. Now, years later, as a shift worker in the aviation industry, I find the long shifts on concrete floors wreaking havoc on my joints and mobility. I have never been less flexible! Circling back to yoga because I know building core muscles and increasing mobility will help greatly. Thank you for the videos!
Fantastic video! I’ve been practicing yoga for 20+ years and no problems with this, but 90%+ of the time, it’s taught by women with definitely a feminine focus. This class taught me nuances that I’ve never heard before, and I appreciated them greatly. Thank you again!
Never "liked" a video, you're gonna be the first one bro. Thanks for this original demonstration, finally yoga for men. I searched for that for a long time.
I’ve done yoga for maybe about a year now, but the way you taught here brought me back to fundamentals that I never got in my other yoga classes. Great introduction to inform people what they should be focusing on!
I think that was the best hip flexor stretch in the lunge I have ever experienced. Your knowledge and application of body mechanics/physiology is unmatched for most other instructors on here, even though I love those instructors too. I don’t know any other yoga teacher that does this like you. I’ve done a few of your classes I love your movement based workout too. I really enjoy your yoga as a no fluff style for maintenance/injury prevention and strengthening. The explanations of how to get into the postures are some of the most helpful for me I’ve found and I’ve been doing yoga 4-7 times a week since January 2022 with a range of different instructors (mostly women).
Since you've enjoyed our injury prevention / strength building content so much, you'll definitely enjoy our Strength Foundations Challenge.

Thank you for the work out. I'm a 47 year old man who works from home and sits at a desk all day. I was looking for something low impact that I can do at home with minimal equipment to invest in. This a good challenging work out that will be on my daily rotation. I also wanted something i can do through out the day while taking breaks and this checks all of those boxes. Thank you, can't wait to check out your other videos

Yoga 200 hr plus doing it previously for about ten years. The woman who certified me told me there was a call for male teachers to teach it to men because of the differences in physiology as well as mentality I’m personally grateful for these classes because it’s nice to be taught from a male perspective... to be taught in general rather than teaching
Been struggling with lower back pain for years. This was my first workout in a long time. Thank you very much. Your explanations are on point and it really help to see yoga from a male perspective. Looking forward to continue 😊
Really glad to hear that, Rodrigo! Keep it up. There are a few other routines in this series. I also have a free page of workouts set up here: manflowyoga.com/free
Thank you! Appreciate such explicit and well articulated directions. And yes, appreciate addressing the needs of men in doing these poses and exercises. So appreciate your work!
I played football from 5-18, have been lifting weights, ran track, a military man, and now I'm a big time runner with primarily calisthenics. I find that the biggest hurdle most men face is tightness all over the body. No one puts in the time to stretch. And in .y case it has lead to some injuries over the years. I am always tight no matter what I do, I have slight Pettus excavatum which pulls my shoulders in and creates a more exaggerated curve in my lower back, so I am constantly struggling with tightness in the core, glutes, hamstrings, and hip flexors. I'm happy to have found this channel, I've tried doing some yoga in the last year and I have found that it really has helped, but I'm glad to find a man that can give us some manly yoga. Otherwise my wife will talk crap 🤣 thanks a lot buddy

At 58 I just found yoga and have been practicing for only 1-1/2 months but have already noticed a difference. Mobility, agility and core strength are improved. The female instructors that I take yoga with are great but Thank you for posting these. I have been doing your Workout #1 routine in the morning and it helps me prepare for the day. I feel so much better during the day and get better more restful sleep at night.

Keep going young one. Found this guy while looking for a herniated disc remedy and not only did the extension routine give me major relief but now I am hooked to other videos. Stretching is so important I am 29 now and wish I would have stayed in my yoga flows as a teens that I learned through my grandparents.
This is fantastic. I have been into fitness since I was a child. I did Yoga at University years ago. I stopped it once I graduated. I am back into it now since March 2024. I have been looking for Yoga for men, so glad I found your channel.
I was looking for something with "relaxing" in the title but I'm glad I tried this. I felt quite a bit better than i generally do after doing a routine from yoga with Adrienne. Although her moves are good, I'm relieved that wellness does not = being able to twist myself into a 🥨
@@ManFlowYoga i certainly have. I'm moving through one video series now and it does more than my previous steetching/massage/workout routine. It feels like all those things are happening at once and I am finally finding spinal alignment.
Good explanations during the class explaining how to do the poses and the benefits of them. After I do more of your classes, I’ll be able to respond to whether or not I think this yoga is more appropriate for men. Thanks for this first class!
Yoga has really been very beneficial to me & the way u explain & demonstrate is fabulous. Thanks to India too for creating this wonderful concept of YOGA.
@@ManFlowYoga Oh just simply say "contemporary yoga" it defines everything. Nevertheless, India still gets the credit for the origin of the same. Thanks!

Been an MFY member for almost a year. Came on to TH-cam to check out other Yoga instructors. I will definitely be signing up with MFY for another year.
This was perfect introduction for me to yoga. Have tried many other classes and videos and have been able to do and given up. This was great. Love your work
Thank you Dean, I've been doing yoga for a couple of years and found this Yoga for Men Series good for getting the basics right. I found you through Sean Vigue too. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, Peter!! Yes, I'm glad you found this helpful for learning more about the basics. We cover stuff here that a lot of yoga instructors kind of omit. :-) And Sean is the man! Glad you like his workouts.
I like how you explain each pose in details and it's benefits. I've been practicing Yoga with all female instructors for couple of year now, this gave me a wider perspective with what it means to stretch overall. Awesome practice brother 👏🏻
I absolutely do believe yoga is a great help in life. Ive been practising for years and as an older surfer i find it helps with my flow on the waves. My first of many classes with you. Thanks for the flow.
Have been a fan for a while! Own your book and recommend to every guy I know. As someone who works out 5-6 days a week, yoga is a must and YOURS is where I go. Great job!
This is just superb, been searching for "does martingale work roulette?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Aonyanaler Bewildering Asset - (just google it ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to making money with a proven roulette system minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my partner got cool results with it.
Hey! Strength and Conditioning coach here. Had injuries and surgeries in left knee and right ankle, so a lot of these postures are challenging just at the starting position. But I loved the workout, I will try more of these taking advantage of the quarantine. Thanks!!!
Hey Javier - Yup, those are my injuries exactly. :-) Hip strengthening and hip mobility really helped a ton. Check out the newest workout I just released on the channel (Yoga Essentials for Core Strength & Hips) - I think you'll get a ton out of it. th-cam.com/video/aKz-GR2OfSw/w-d-xo.html

Finally, a yoga routine that I can do completely without modification! I’m in great shape but still had to modify yoga sessions. Sadly, it was usually the things female instructors didn’t think about that I could not do based on my male physiology that would force me to modify.
I’ve been doing sports all my life but just started yoga but finding it really difficult as I’ve just realised that I have very little flexibility. Enjoying your video. Thanks
Aside of getting rid of Back Pain, one of the most helpful things for me is the breathing aspect. it´s incredibly relaxing and helps me to focus. Thanx Man, lookin for more to come.

It was a challenge being outside on cold foggy mornings in S.F. and the on screen was adding to my screen time. I've given up waiting for live group sessions and am happy to have found Man Flow- thank you.
We're really happy to have you hear Doug! Thank you for the support :)
Really great for back and whole body
First attempt at yoga ever. I appreciate you making it easy to follow and non-intimidating.

Fantastic video and instruction.
Thank you for sharing this
Really glad you enjoyed it!
I recently completed a 30 day yoga program and although it was great, the program did not account for tight calves and hip flexors as much as I would have liked. Thanks for going deep into the explanations! I feel more limber already
Good to hear!!
I’ve been practicing yoga for 15 years. I’ve had a serious issue with sciatica and am trying everything. I really enjoyed this 20 minutes for men yogaflow. I’ll keep you updated 😎
I had sciatica for 10 years so I feel your pain. I cured it using the Mackenzie method which is basically a yoga posture & that lead me to yoga. How’s your sciatica 4 months on?
I hate yoga, BUT, I really like this video series, and Dean's focus on men's issues is a game changer. I've no fear of "girly" stuff, I've taken yoga classes before, even though I much prefer sports like horse riding and sailing. But this series is super for those of us who have to work for a living behind a desk and just hate sitting in traffic going to yoga classes. And this kind of MAN-yoga is a great support for the kinds of sports mentioned above. Dean is calm, intelligent and the course is super! I like the dog too!

This is exactly what I needed. Previously I had done a few of the other female oriented youtube classes but this was a great change especially being orientated towards men. The suttle difference in keeping the back straight during child's pose had me stretching muscles I didnt even know existed. Time spent on each pose/exercise was perfect, which is one of the complaints I had about the other videos switching poses too fast. Will definitely be continuing to do workouts with Man Flow Yoga. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Sterling! While we encourage anyone to use MFY, it was created specifically with men and their needs in mind. Keep up the good work! For even more content be sure to visit our site:

Hello Dean, I'm a soon to be 67 year old guy who as age has kicked in gotten to get popping, cracking and everything else in between and gyms don't do it for me at my age but found your video and enjoyed it. I think just being active and trying to stay flexible will help me out. Thank you so much for your video.
Really glad you found your way to us Roberto! Keep up the good work with the challenge :)
Thank you, I tried Yoga twice before years ago so this is my first time in a long while. I actually made it through the workout (it was ugly but got it done) and didn't feel foolish like I did in the past. I am so happy I found this.

Great. I've done yoga for 15 or 20 years always led by women. If the regular teacher was out and a young woman was the instructor, I would skip the class. They just don't appreciate how inflexible an old man's body can be (I'm 76). It's great to see you address the physiological differences. Thank you.

Aside of getting rid of Back Pain, one of the most helpful things for me is the breathing aspect. it´s incredibly relaxing and helps me to focus. Thanx Man, lookin for more to come.

I recently chucked-in my desk job and purchased a small-holding. My body has rebelled and I have had awful back pain from moving to 'manual' labour. I promised myself the Winter to get fitter for Spring planting etc... I've been following these videos to strenghten back and core and get more flexible. My back pain has gone completely, my core is stronger and I genuinely look forward to following two of your work-outs per day. Thank you so much - this has made a real difference. Bring on the Spring !!
That is amazing to hear! Keep up the good work, your consistency is obviously paying off :)
Thank you for your work here. I've done yoga off and on for years, and appreciate that your approach is free of the whole swami-baba-gi-guru jargon that so many other yoga teachers use. I'm accustomed to seeing only one or two guys in the room, so an entire class geared for men is refreshing.
Sounds like you belong here! Glad you found your way to Man Flow Yoga!
@@ManFlowYoga Thanks for never saying Namaste, Dean! Found your channel after buying your book. God bless you mate.
Excellent 1st video for someone with virtually no yoga experience at all - me! I’m looking for yoga exercises specifically for older men +55 as I’ve tried classes led by women which are really targeted at women - no disrespect intended but us guys have got dangly bits and different physics to the gals! Looking forward to your next videos, thanks!
So glad you're following this series! Keep up the good work :)
I really appreciate your approach. It's true that nowadays most yoga is by women for women. This is refreshingly doable over the hyper flexible nymph telling you not to worry you'll get it, set your intention....while doing splits beyond 180. Don't get me wrong the eye candy contortionists are nice to look at but not the guidance I need. A breath of fresh air for sure. Keep up the great work.

Finally YOGA FOR MEN 🤩🤩🤩
I did piles of yoga in high school while playing rugby, to maintain mobility and reduce chances of injury. Now, years later, as a shift worker in the aviation industry, I find the long shifts on concrete floors wreaking havoc on my joints and mobility. I have never been less flexible! Circling back to yoga because I know building core muscles and increasing mobility will help greatly. Thank you for the videos!

Fantastic video! I’ve been practicing yoga for 20+ years and no problems with this, but 90%+ of the time, it’s taught by women with definitely a feminine focus. This class taught me nuances that I’ve never heard before, and I appreciated them greatly. Thank you again!
Hope you enjoy the whole series!

I’ve done yoga for maybe about a year now, but the way you taught here brought me back to fundamentals that I never got in my other yoga classes. Great introduction to inform people what they should be focusing on!
I think that was the best hip flexor stretch in the lunge I have ever experienced. Your knowledge and application of body mechanics/physiology is unmatched for most other instructors on here, even though I love those instructors too. I don’t know any other yoga teacher that does this like you. I’ve done a few of your classes I love your movement based workout too. I really enjoy your yoga as a no fluff style for maintenance/injury prevention and strengthening. The explanations of how to get into the postures are some of the most helpful for me I’ve found and I’ve been doing yoga 4-7 times a week since January 2022 with a range of different instructors (mostly women).

Tryed it this morning and found it very helpful and I'm 61 years old and I feel better for it
Yoga 200 hr plus doing it previously for about ten years. The woman who certified me told me there was a call for male teachers to teach it to men because of the differences in physiology as well as mentality I’m personally grateful for these classes because it’s nice to be taught from a male perspective... to be taught in general rather than teaching
Been struggling with lower back pain for years. This was my first workout in a long time. Thank you very much. Your explanations are on point and it really help to see yoga from a male perspective. Looking forward to continue 😊
Really glad to hear that, Rodrigo! Keep it up. There are a few other routines in this series. I also have a free page of workouts set up here: manflowyoga.com/free

I played football from 5-18, have been lifting weights, ran track, a military man, and now I'm a big time runner with primarily calisthenics. I find that the biggest hurdle most men face is tightness all over the body. No one puts in the time to stretch. And in .y case it has lead to some injuries over the years.
I am always tight no matter what I do, I have slight Pettus excavatum which pulls my shoulders in and creates a more exaggerated curve in my lower back, so I am constantly struggling with tightness in the core, glutes, hamstrings, and hip flexors.
I'm happy to have found this channel, I've tried doing some yoga in the last year and I have found that it really has helped, but I'm glad to find a man that can give us some manly yoga. Otherwise my wife will talk crap 🤣 thanks a lot buddy
