Beginner’s Yoga for Men: Flexibility

This workout teaches you the postures and mentality required to improve your flexibility. You’ll need to push yourself, hold the postures for the entire duration, and relax your breathing in order to make significant improvements in your flexibility. Immediately, you’ll notice a greater feeling of fluidity in movement, and reduced discomfort. Over time, you’ll notice you require less warm-up, recover more quickly, and can get into positions more easily than you used to.
