This is a guide for guys who are curious about yoga (but think it’s just for women) or for those who have done a class years ago and were intimidated by their inflexibility. It is for those huge numbers of men who suffer, often in secret, from anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or a general sense of malaise and/or purposelessness. It is for those men who walk past a yoga studio, look inside hopefully and then assume it’s not for them. Or those men who think they don’t have time, or the right body, or are too nervous or embarrassed, who don’t want to look stupid, or appear to be struggling.

Of course these are the men who truly need yoga. Now, thanks to this book, they can learn about, and experience, the central healing tenets of yoga, without having to leave their home. They needn’t talk to anyone about their experiment, if they don’t want to – with the friendly guidance and instructions inside this book to help the reader wake up to yoga and all its benefits.

This book busts common myths about yoga (and its suitability for men), offering a no-nonsense guy-friendly guide for those who are brave and curious enough to roll out their mat, sit down and take a breath. It’s for any man who has tried it his way, by pushing pain, emotions or worries down, and is now ready for a change. This handbook is like a detox package – for all those suffering from restrictive and toxic notions about masculinity – instead helping to give every man a chance to become a fuller, flexier version of himself.

Reviews for The Power of Yoga for Men: A beginner's guide to building strength, mental clarity and emotional fitness

Two yoga experts dispel that notion that yoga is just for women or the flexible or the fit in this beginner’s guide to developing a home practice. * Publishers Weekly * The ultimate guide to welcome every man to the yoga mat. * OM Yoga & Lifestyle * The first yoga book for the modern day man…an inclusive guide for all bodies and abilities. * Natural Lifestyle * Why don't more men do yoga? A riddle for our time. But for whatever reason millions of men seem to think that the opportunity to build clarity, peace, and visible abs while standing in a room of bendy women is a bad thing. Happily Caleb Jude Packham and Jarod Chapman bust those myths, giving us an easy going program that will entice even the most skeptical and spandex phobic man onto the mat. -- Benjamin Lord * author of Hell-Bent * The Power of Yoga for Men is a clear, practical and inspiring manual showing that everyone can benefit from yoga for their bodies and minds. Clearly laid out with illustrations and step by step instructions, this book is a handy go-to for any man who might be keen to give yoga a go but not sure about stepping into a yoga studio yet, or to supplement their studio practice at home. -- Anya Haynes * author of Pilates for Pregnancy * The Power of Yoga for Men makes yoga both accessible and inspiring by offering gentle ways to nurture physical, mental and emotional health. -- author of Strong, Calm and Free * Nicola Hobbs *
