Yoga for Weight Loss Let’s be honest. When the majority of guys have the thought of weight loss, they visualize grunting in the weight room, sweating in a run, or dripping in a spin routine. Yoga? Flexibility and calming down, that, right? That’s exactly what I thought. However, when I reached a plateau because of …
Yoga Poses For 2: Build Strength & Trust Together I believed that partner yoga was about chanting and placing hands. I was wrong. My buddy persuaded me to do it after I crashed somewhere in a savage plateau during my training. It is a no-nonsense account of how practicing Yoga Poses for 2 made me …

My 90-Day Hot Yoga Grind: Raw Data & Results Let’s get one thing straight right from the start: I am not the guy you’d expect to see in a hot yoga class. My idea of a good workout used to involve heavy iron, grunting, and the smell of chalk and sweat. Yoga was something I …
