Yoga for Bros: Your Guide to Manly Mindfulness

by Hannah Rothstein

The Manchild. The Kegstand. The Reverse Weekend Warrior. Reach enlightenment while pounding copious brews in this essential guide to “manly mindfulness.” Expanding on Hannah Rothstein’s viral sensation, this is a roadmap to extra-sensory dude-ception, a state of mind in which one lives by the four facets of the sports & fitness, partying, girls, and living large. Derived from the teachings of “Brogi Brent,” who found his guru through a haze of smoke in a room plastered with posters of Kate Upton, this colorful, mind-expanding, and totally hysterical tome includes over 40 poses illustrated by gorgeous photos, plus aphorisms such as “The root of suffering is attachment. Avoid a serious girlfriend at all costs.”

Can I give it a negative star rating? Let's say -3.

This book has to be taken with a grain of salt, as it is labeled as humor. Some of it crass, some of it inane, but overall serves as a decent enough introduction to some of the basic asanas of yoga.

Whether to convince a male friend that perhaps yoga is not just for the ladies or simply as a conversational coffee table book for a friend, as someone who has completed their 200hr teacher training I found it to be a delightful little escape to the lighter side of yoga.

Proper alignment isn't discussed and some safety is not addressed so if you're serious get to a class or two or better yet sign up for a 200hr or 500hr teacher training.

As a quick smile, this book certainly does the job 😎

Hilarious and playful.

This is funny. I enjoyed it. However it is a little crass to leave around if you have kids that may look at it, and probably could have just been a BUZZFEED post.
