I started yoga with YogaBoost in 2017 to supplement my running. In addition to improving my form, I also lost 10 pounds in the process by participating in a Man Flow Yoga Challenge using the routines in the DVD.

The Challenge kickstarted my daily habits, to include modifying my dietary habits. Now I don't start a day without a yoga workout, whether I'm running or not. I'd had seen a physical therapist for problems with my feet, and these exercises build what I learned with the therapist and took it to the next level.

Dean Pohlman is able to provide excellent narration and instruction while he performs the same workout...always amazed he can effortlessly talk and workout at the same time as I'm challenged to do the same pose.

In addition to the DVD I also bought a copy through Amazon Video so I have access even while on the road. I've also taken this to the next level by becoming a member of Man Flow Yoga where I have access to all of Dean's workout video library...there are workouts for whatever you're focus is on...upper body, lower body, chest, back, hips, shoulders, restorative stretches...whatever your desire or need. His site is easy to search and save the workouts for easy access, you can even add them to your iCal/Google calendar.

Dean's a focused entrepreneur, constantly innovating and providing new content (video and articles/blogs), advice, and challenges to those that follow him. He has a bright future. I strongly recommend you start with the DVD; you'll get hooked like I did and then become a member of Man Flow Yoga. I've already given this as a gift to others.

My Situation--A 51 yr old woman working towards getting back to the advanced fitness level I was prior to cancer treatment two years ago. A "home gym" fitness junkie, my menu included Cathe Friedrich, P90x, Insanity, etc. I also have a very physically challenging job that was beginning to feel even More SO than usual. Plus, sporting more weight than I'd like due to slowing down. Having returned to weight training and various cardios, I decided to stop ignoring the one thing I never liked--stretching and slowing down for balance and functionality.
I have always admired yoga as the valid art form that it is for wellness; those who practice certainly exhibit the evidence! I had no patience, and also was turned off by some of the dreamier and "hypnotic" presentations available.
I like this guy--his instruction is detailed, focused and constant--something I needed in terms of getting the most out of Why and what is supposed to be happening during the poses. It makes me focus on all the details of the movements and poses and makes it a more active, productive event for me. The modifications are plentiful and he actively demonstrates them instead of merely describing them. His language is straightforward and non-scary.
And how I feel after having done all of the flows in rotation now for weeks, in conjunction with my weight training and cardio cross-training is exceptionally better than my die-hard approach before. The overall result is a more well rounded, flexible state because the yoga unifies and enhances the benefits of the two pieces. As he states, it enhances the benefits of the traditional training and also helps fill in the blanks that are missing; i.e. imbalances that one tends to ignore such as one rotater is tighter than another. And then it helps address them:)
Now I view the rest days as productive and important, and look forward to purposeful movement that makes me feel better and stronger. I'm embracing the added dimension of yoga as the essential piece to my fitness plan on my way to getting back in shape. I wish I had done that years ago; could have skipped a lot of inexplicable soreness. I appreciate his presentation in every way, and have purchased the other two programs as well.

This is such a great bang for your buck yoga program, I lost body fat, got leaner abs, put on muscle, increased strength and improved flexibiilty in such short ammount of time. I highly recommened this to anyone starting out with yoga. The workouts are easy to follow and nothing too crazy or extremely challenging. Extremely great price for the quality of workouts you get.

I stumbled across BBY on Amazon, and so very thankful that I did. I'm not a man, but Dean's "man yoga" is exactly what I've been looking for all along "“ yoga for fitness without the all of the "yoga" hoopla. I am really enjoying his style. He is very likable and easy to listen to (and look at for that matter "¦ a bonus for the ladies ;). For me, there is nothing annoying to get in my way, which is why I'd abandoned yoga so many times before. Dean provides the perfect amount of clear instruction, explanation on technique, why you're doing it, what you should (and shouldn't) feel, injury prevention, modifications (for both easier AND more of a challenge), etc. These are great work outs for building strength, balance and flexibility. He's even cool enough that my teens (daughter and son) want to do it with me. I'm only three+ weeks in, and can already tell a huge difference in my strength, see daily progress / growth in my ability and balance. My son is very athletic, and I love that this appeals to him too.

About me: I'm 51, 5'3", right at 120 lbs, and although I'm not much overweight, I am out of shape right now (strength and muscle tone). I've spent the last 18 years having babies and raising kids, without consistent exercise. I positively don't have time to go somewhere every day, and although I do like group exercise, a group of women is not my thing. I quit running, and exercise in general, about 4 years ago after a fall down the back stairs caused torn ligaments in my knee and ankle, along with multiple broken bones in my foot. I have mild arthritis (hands, knees, and left hip), and know that osteoporosis is a concern for me. I have always been, and still am very limber, but have never been able to do a push-up and balancing poses are a challenge! For a number of reasons, I'm done with running and high impact, but need and enjoy fast walking, strength conditioning, weights, flexibility, balance training etc. My first goal is to be able to do push-ups.

Anyway, I've found the right "guy", I can fit this in everyday before my shower, and I'm really enjoying the workouts. I started with Boost, and very quickly purchased Yoga Strong (more challenging for me than Yoga Boost) and Yoga Edge. I will likely add the variety of workouts available through the Man Flow Yoga online membership once I progress further. I have always struggled with upper body strength and have never been able to do real push ups, but can see that I am really making significant progress with my upper body strength and with the balance poses in only a short time. I was looking around on the BBY / MFY website when I found a recent post with information and videos on how to diagnose your balance issues, and specific exercises to do to help. Dean has a lot of great resources out there and puts a lot of thought into addressing issues you might be having (both in the video workouts and online). He makes you feel very comfortable and normal if it's hard or you can't quite get it, and offers up encouragement and suggestions. I really like that he provides constant reminders and instruction what muscles to engage and how to increase the intensity of the pose. I'm so impressed and pleased with his method and the workouts. The production of the video may not be exactly perfect, but it's good, and Dean is awesome, so I'm thrilled and would recommend him (and this video) without hesitation. Just try it, and stick with it. You will see results!

ps: I have three senior women in my life in their 70's-early 80's. None of them could do this. The workouts on this DVD are not that kind of beginner workout. A certain amount of overall fitness, balance (stability), and mobility are required. The purchase of this video does give you access to YogaStart (online video free of additional charge), which is yoga using a chair (for absolute beginners). This same video workout is available for purchase on Amazon digitally (for streaming or download), but does not seem to be available for purchase in DVD format. Even so, with using a chair, some of it still is not doable for the seniors in my life. I'm too concerned with their balance and fear of them falling. I wish that Dean would do a DVD just for less fit older seniors with very limited mobility using a chair ... whatever that may look like (not much I'm sure, but better than nothing for some of them). My senior women wouldn't stream anything from a computer or TV, even with me setting it up and showing them how. Guess it is what it is.

I am newer to yoga and bought this program hoping for something appropriate for my level that would help facilitate growth and improvement and I got it! I absolutely love the yoga programs. I have already noticed an increase in strength and flexibility, and the yoga stretch/relax I do every night and it has seriously helped me to decrease anxiety and fall asleep faster. I wasn't sure if yoga was for me or if I would be able to do it, but this program has made me absolutely fall in love with yoga. Dean is awesome as a host and instructor, and I would absolutely recommend this program to anyone interested in getting into yoga, especially if they are a man.
