SOME GUYS THINK THAT YOGA MAKES YOU LESS OF A MAN, THE TRUTH IS IT MAKES YOU A BETTER ONE, IT'S TIME TO SMASH THE STEREOTYPE.

Through the physical practice to the body will get stronger, but the true power of yoga is what it does on the inside. It helps to calm the chaos in our everyday, the mental stuff, in our heads and daily lives, and it reminds us to breathe.

To most guys, yoga is pink lycra and vegan chicks. It’s breathing deeply while doing poses named after animals and feelings. It’s done in dimly lit rooms with candles and incense, followed by gluten free cupcakes and kale smoothies. And if that’s your mentality then you’re not alone. But it doesn’t mean it’s right.
THE BOOK
