If you can relate to any of these descriptions then this is the book for you. "Yoga for Men - A Beginners Guide To Core Strength, Flexibility and Better Health" is written specifically for men who have had little or no experience with yoga. Why create a yoga book just for men? Many men think yoga is only about easy flowing movements and spiritual chanting. Some may see it as something that "real men" don't do as it is a girly thing. However yoga was "invented" by men thousands of years ago. It's only in recent decades that it has become synonymous with women but the balance is shifting again. Now it is not uncommon to see huge footballers in a yoga class doing spine twists and lunges. The fact is that men and women are built differently (no surprises there) so their main physical concerns are often different. This book shows how yoga can address all of these concerns and much, much more. It includes:- A brief summary of the styles of yoga and tips on finding the style that best suits you

Easy to follow explanations of the main yoga principles
Advice on how yoga can benefit you both physically and mentally
Practical tips for getting started and creating your own routines
Photos and step by step descriptions of every pose
