I’m a 25 year old male that works 7 days a week currently. Finally requested a full day off, and I spent my morning doing stretches. Just basic stretching gave my body so much relief, especially in my back and legs. This routine fit perfectly with my stretches. I recommend this to anyone recovering from injury, and more importantly to anyone that deals with work related stress. This has given me so much peace in a short amount of time, and I feel very satisfied after doing something physical.
I have been wanting to get into yoga for a while now. I’ve watched Wai Lana Yoga on TV, and I have always said that I’m going to add yoga to my day. The thing is that I just keep forgetting about it, but after watching this I am going to make the effort to start adding yoga to my day
Thanks for reminding me to breath because I forgot to breath. I’ve learned alot about yoga for my blog, but now I am trying to dive in and practice what I preach and give a real opinion. With my injuries from my accidents this was a struggle for me😢
I finally decided to take the plunge into yoga after years of weight training, injuries, trauma, you name it. In this 10 minute workout, it was one of the first times I wasn't in pain, and it was the first time I actually didn't feel tense. I'm not a flexible person and I used that as an excuse to not get into yoga sooner. I'm glad I listened to my friend and took part in this video. Thank you so much for making this content and getting me started on my physical healing journey.
Nice! I just bought your "Yoga Fitness for Men" book yesterday. Decided to do a search on RUclips today. Found your channel. Definitely will be doing this routine for a few weeks until my body get used to this stuff. Thanks! Btw, I retired from the US Army in 2016. I let my fitness go. I do have aches and pains throughout my body. I'm more into fixing my body without medications. I've heard a lot about simplified Yoga.
Thanks not a man but this was nice. I kinda pressed my calf to the seat of the chair instead of holding on to the wall. I am fine holding on to the wall but the chair was a challenge. Definitely felt core muscles and muscles in my legs. I look forward to seeing the rest of your videos.
Thank you for the feedback! While MFY was created with men and their specific needs in mind, we encourage anyone to utilize our content. Keep up the good work!
You are a very good instructor. Your directions are very clearly detailed, and you explain the purpose of each pose. I will subscribe and follow. And of course, thank you for the time and effort you put into this.
Thank you for sharing this kind of content, it's really helpful. By the way. I have a question, Do I need to keep my breath for a small period of time in every exercise o I can breath normal ... Thank you for you answer. PD: My apologize for my English.
Hey Dean. Awesome stuff. I’m certainly flexible. & I kinda know the poses. I just can’t stay up in some of them. I need to work on balance. Following your other balance video still
You don't have to be able to do everything. We recommend taking breaks, pausing, modifying., do what it takes to get through a workout. What you're not able to do is what you can continue to focus on improving.
Hi, i remember signing up with Yoga Flow a couple years back and was so busy that i didn't try one workout. Shame on me! Well, it's a new day, and I'll try this workout. Good day!
This is sort of off topic, but I had no idea there's another channel that he does on RUclips called the "Better Man" podcast something where he talks about life issues and tips on what you can do to adjust to them, I believe. I just found it and was blown away on how good it is. It really is good. I had no idea it was on RUclips and surprised there's no link from this Man Flow page to tell you.
Thank you for bringing that to our attention and for supporting our podcast! We'll actually be sharing some podcast reels here on the MFY RUclips channel soon.
I’ve just started today doing this for the first time, as I usually run and weight train but have gotten a bit stiff. I’m finding that with the exercise my back is coming into play and it’s making it sore. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Would like to purchase the yoga mat bundle for my husband. We are Canadian but living in Texas at the moment. When I try to purchase this bundle, it goes to a blank screen when I try to purchase. Any suggestions? Thank you.

@@ManFlowYoga you could have made an intelligent response to my question...says a lot about you. Maybe if you spent more time developing your personality as you did with your vids id be impressed.
@@ManFlowYoga happens to all of us. Hope your day gets better! I just wasn't sure if I was supposed to hold the pose that long or not. I have been doing one of your other 10 minute vids consistently for about 2 weeks now. Its been great. I like your delivery because most yoga vid instructors talk as if you were an infant.
@@jeffhogan3433 You do want to be doing them for a long time, so that hold time is helpful there. you can hold stretches for up to 5 minutes as long as you're still feeling it working and it's not hurting.
this was just … bad. This doesn’t feel like yoga at all. I didn’t like it, didn’t feel “stretched” at all. Just painful trying to hold these poses for way too long and listening to his annoying endless drivel.

Wow, we're so glad you finally took that plunge! Be sure to thank your friend for us :)
I'm not a beginner but I sometimes like to go back to basics. This was a great intro for new yogis.
Thanks Dean
It's always a good idea to revisit the basics :)

Yoga is the best medicine for the body and the mind

That's great to hear! Keep up the good work, it'll require consistency :)
Thank you for this; it is excellent!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Time for complete beginners first question: do i need to do any stretch exercises before or can i jump directly into the routine? ☺️
This is beginner-friendly and you can jump right into it :)
Felt good!
Awesome 👏🏻 just done this workout
Great job! Keep that ball rolling!
Good video
Thanks bro. 👋🏻 🇵🇪
SHould you do this routine before or after a work out?
Depends on the workout. If you’re lifting heavy or doing cardio, then no.
We would say before but honestly either works.
Need it easier than this.

We all have to start somewhere, or in your case restart. Welcome back to the mat!
Thanks 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Can women follow this too?
Of course! Our content was created with men and their needs in mind but we encourage everyone to utilize it.
Hi Dean can you tell me what you mean by 'squeeze' certain body parts? Like is that just flexing? Thx man❤
I’ve just started today doing this for the first time, as I usually run and weight train but have gotten a bit stiff. I’m finding that with the exercise my back is coming into play and it’s making it sore. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?
Soreness just means you're doing something your body needs time to adjust to.
wow this was hard, weightlifting just makes your body heavier
Thank you for the honest feedback. Hope you follow along to the whole series!
Do you have a recommendation on what the better time of day might be to do this routine?
I prefer early morning 4-5am again the word ….
Prefer is vital for You so do yoga @ the convenient time You prefer
Everyone is different but most people prefer the morning.
this video would be so much better if you just talked a little bit less, it almost makes me angry at you when im trying to relax hahaha
goodness it’s been a while since i’ve stretched. this was tough!
Really glad you challenged yourself and found it rewarding.
Can we do the low lunges without having our knees touch the floor? Unfortunately my knees are no good for that position.
Try a pillow or cushion under your knee :)
Hi dean how do i release my hamstrings?!

The very first step is difficult for a beginner. I can’t bend my knee like that.m
Then you would need to modify that pose so you can do it without causing any sort of pain.
hello, I'm a beginner.. is it possible to build muscle mass with yoga. thanks
Yes, it is! But if you combine it with yoga with other exercises, like lifting, you'll see even more.
You should join our Free 7 Day Beginner's Yoga Challenge to get started on the right foot:

❤️💖🙏💖❤️
I ended up standing up and holding up my arms because this beginning position hurt the crude out of my knee
It's important to modify when necessary!
Sometimes the basics are the best.
No spaghetti poses for me.
Who's Indian here 😂
👇
Who did you study with?
You can read all about Dean's yoga to being a yoga instructor here:
manflowyoga.com/about-us/
Should put in the title “equipment required” just a little friendly advice
Thank you for the feedback. You can always modify by using a stack of books for a block or a belt for a strap.
We should have led with knee pad😅
Good point! Thank you for the feedback :)
Why do yoga instructor love to talk. Just get to the pose.
Why do you feel the need to complain on a FREE workout? Don't like it, move on. It's a Beginner class, so thorough instruction is needed.
I tried, but man… the amount he talked was not for me.
Fortunately there are so many instructors here on RUclips. Thanks for giving it a shot!
The first 5 minutes is a low lunge....hunh? Why so long in one pose?
It's important. And I doubt your hips are as flexible as your fingers on this keyboard.
@@ManFlowYoga you could have made an intelligent response to my question...says a lot about you. Maybe if you spent more time developing your personality as you did with your vids id be impressed.
@@jeffhogan3433 i'd**
Had a rough morning, sorry I took it out on you, bud.
Hope you don't hate low lunges forever

Not if we keep up the yoga :)
