Intelligent, well organized fitness centric book on yoga for men
Review Yoga Fitness for MenYoga Fitness for Men by Dean Pohlman is one fantastic book. This is the first day of publication. I received my pre-ordered copy. I was so impressed that the book jumped 25 other books in line to be read. I reviewed each and every page of the 190 page book.Dean dispels several myths and then presents a very reasonable approach to using yoga for athletic, for body repair, for strengthening. Dean presents 55 poses, 25 workouts and 3 programs 2 for 12 weeks and one for 16 weeks.Each of the 55 poses is presented on facing pages with starting posture or pose with complete detailed instructions, pro tips, if you canât quite reach the full pose, text bubbles on the large well images that present the pose very very well. The only thing better would be to be in a class with Dean correcting your pose.Each workout is on one or two facing pages with small images from the pose presentation and instruction.Each workout is listed with references back to the workouts.Dean himself is the model for all the many images in the book. Dean displays each and every pose in good detail, with easily followed directions.The formatting and layout is superb. The images are all superb.And I only saw one Sanskrit word in the whole book. Dean does mention the âspiritualâ aspects as possible, then just does not ever refer to them again. There is no music, no chanting, no prolonged holding of hands in prayer position.A purist could argue with the English names of the poses, the choice of poses, and the emphasis on athleticism and posture and body repair.I highly recommend this book for all men with even a passing interest in doing yoga, as this makes yoga accessible to men of all ages. This is a fitness centric book doing exactly what it claims, âto get [men] stronger, improve mobility, and prevent injury.â

Excellent Yoga book for the healthcare practitioner!
As a physical therapist, part of my job includes home or gym exercise regimens that my patients can follow seamlessly and most importantly, incorporate into their daily lives. Yoga is one of them. In fact, there are certain poses I recommend on a daily basis. One thing I explain to busy folks – it does not have to be a full routine. You can absolutely pick certain poses you like and do what works for you!Dean Pohlman does exactly that in this book. He simplifies the techniques with stunning easy to follow high quality photos using a step-by-step approach that goes straight into the details of the exercises. He provides logical and easy to understand instructions including: âwhat you feelâ and âwhat you shouldnât feelâ. The introduction is quite short and then dives into individual routines almost immediately. These routines are categorized into positions while doing the poses: standing, kneeling, balance, seated, front-lying, and back-lying.The second part of the book is quite useful as it provides workouts to follow. This is great for those who simply want to open the book, pick a goal for the day and then just follow the list. A great example is stiff neck relief – which starts from a progressive mobility drill on the thoracic and lumbar spine and included arm/shoulder movements as well as core work. There are also balance, restorative and strengthening programs that are easy to follow. Last but not the least, you can pick your difficulty, and even body region: shoulder, ankle, hip, etc.One tip I would give since it is hard to keep the actual book open when youâre trying to follow the techniques is take a photo of the routine and use your phone or iPad as a way to follow through the routine. Or get the kindle version and you can view it using the kindle app and then follow along the routines. Take a snapshot of your fave routine and youâre set! I see a spring bound version in the future!

Must have yoga educational item
This book is absolutely great. There are over 100 pages explaining several yoga poses. Donât worry theyâre thick so no worry of ripping them. Each pose comes with several pictures, explanations of the pose, the areas it targets, benefits, modifications, etc.It then gives flows for restoration and strengthening. Iâm talking a full flow with timing and everything.While intended for men I feel itâs an amazing resource for anyone looking to learn or teach.

Great book, espcially if you read and apply what you learn
Self help books like this only help when you get off the couch and do it. Am starting the whole yoga thing, and am still at the stage where I keep feeling like I’ll be giving birth any moment. But it works, and the book is structured for the novice, so it works.

Das Buch schildert die Ãbungen detailliert und stellt Routinen mit unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkten dar. Schwerpunkt ist kraftbetontes Yoga.Für mich als Calisthenics Sportler eine tolle Ergänzung.
