Yoga for Men homes in on yoga techniques that address issues of specific concern to today's males, including reducing the risk of prostate cancer, decreasing daily tension, increasing sexual performance, improving metabolism, and enhancing flexibility and muscle mass.Using a plain-English, straightforward approach, author Bruce Van Horne walks male readers through yoga tips that will help them get into better shape, release fears that are blocking personal goals, and enjoy life more fully.

Diffilult Yoga for men December 28, 2002
7 out of 15 found this review helpful

This book is a waste of time for anyone wanting to learn yoga. The poses are held for too long for beginners which makes them very difficult. The audio CD is very hard to follow and there is too much mystical yoga horse manure in the book. Try Yoga for Dummies or Yoga for Health by Richard Hittleman instead.

This book is a great guide to yoga! I particularly like the way it spells out all of the benefits of yoga in a user-friendly format. I also liked the comparison of yoga to business. Finally, a yoga book I can relate to! I would recommend this to any guy looking to get healthy.

Average. "Yoga for Dummies" is a far better introduction August 23, 2002

I bought this book hoping that I could get started with yoga on my own. As a beginner's introduction to yoga, it is rather unsuccessful in that it uses terminology without defining it first and has photographic illustrations that do not show the key points of the yoga positions as clearly as the drawings in "Yoga for Dummies."

The author clearly is knowledgeable and passionate about his subject, but I don't think that these attributes serve him particularly well in an introductory text of this type.

I think the book, Yoga for Men, is a great value in terms of content, modest cost, and considering it also includes an audio CD. Not bad!!! The focus is on men, but many of the concepts are applicable to women as well. This book is not only beneficial to men but to all the women who love them. Recommended as gifts from women who have husbands, partners, fathers, brothers, sons and male friends.

I was never a yoga kind of guy, but after reading this book I actually had the courage to go to a class. I'm still going and loving it. Yoga For Men does a great job of making yoga seem less of scary 60's hippie thing and more just a great way to stay in shape, mentally as well as physically. I know many people have hang ups about yoga, especially men, so this book was sorely needed. It's a great value too, fully illustrated and with a companion CD included.
