I came to Yoga through the same path. I have been training all my life. And competed internationally in Martial arts in my early twenties, I am now 39. I had almost given up exercise, as I was just getting so many injuries. Crossfit nearly put me out forever. But since starting Yoga with you guys I have made a complete turn around. I feel better than I have felt for years. I am even on my way to a handstand! It really clicked for the first time yesterday :) I do Yoga, then hanging/pulling, handstands and finish with breathwork/meditation,,, everyday Most importantly my "reason for training" has changed. I now train to be present and to achieve a mediative state. I control my breath in everything I do. That is my primary focus in all my training now. Even making a cup of coffee or sweeping the decking is now a meditation. Thank you for this change. Namaste

Flo's soft nod at 7:45. Dude knows what's up.

“No pain no gain” is definitely he biggest misconception I’ve had when it comes to overall fitness. I’m 22 years old I used to train in the gym almost five days a week and the stress that put on my body was way too much, I’ve got permanent damage in my right wrist from curling and it just isn’t worth all that pain. I’m not saying the gym is bad it’s not at all I understand for some it’s a safe haven, and for me since joining your patreon page that and the Matt has become safe haven now. For me yoga has developed so much strength for my body and mind more than the gym ever did the best thing is that I don’t feel like I’m chasing a goal constantly with how much I can lift, now my main goal when I roll out the matt is to just enjoy myself in the body I’m in and by doing that I’m in the best shape physically and mentally because I’m getting fit doing something my body and mind enjoys 💚 Thank-you for this video a lot learned ✍️💚✍️💚

I'm BJJ guy purple belt 7 years lifting weight, kettlebells etc. When I discovered you, it took me 20 seconds to switch from gym to yoga. Doing yoga every day now and I feel stronger. Thank you very much for my enlightenment

This is, to date, the single most valuable video I've ever watched to educate myself on my fitness goals. Awesome. FACTS.

I needed to hear this today. I’ve been reluctantly transitioning out of the gym rat scene and getting more deeply involved in body weight movements. Everything you’ve said here resonates... the fear of loss of identity, moving to health vs aesthetics, longevity etc - I’m officially a subscriber!

Can I just say that I love how honest and open you are? I've been doing yoga "with you" for a couple of years now and I can't tell you how grateful I am to "know" you. Namasté and be well and safe out there. ❤️

I used to be in the fitness industry and was all into bikini competitions, gaining (visible) muscle mass and eating animal protein. Over years I slowly started listening to my body because I was basically FORCED to due to health issues and am now a yoga teacher and am eating plants only, not lifting weights AT ALL. I'm able to do use my body MUCH more now (I have less muscle mass but am able to do many push-ups which I couldn't back then etc.) and am overall in a much healthier state. SO THANKFUL to hear you talking about this and that more and more people are finding the things that are HEALTHY for them, physically AND mentally!!! Much love to you two

That is the reason I started yoga! For maybe 3 years now I’ve been going to the gym to lift weights consistently and finally asked myself why am I doing this. Do I actually feel better? Do I even feel fit? I look good but can I even do basic things like touch my toes or not constantly feel sore and stiff? Right as covid 19 was taking over I decided to solely focus on yoga for a while and I can tell in 6 months to a year I’m gonna feel great. Already thrilled with the progress I’ve made in my first month, all with the help of your guys amazing channel!

Thank you guys so much for consistently releasing just as good videos "off the mat" as the ones on the mat. My roommate and myself are collegiate track athletes here in Texas (a pole vaulter and a decathlete) and during quarantine we found this channel and we could not be more pleased with our improvements in our strength and more importantly, the way we feel. We've finished the Yoga for Men series twice so far and then have been going through a lot of the other strength based videos. Thank y'all so much, y'all rock!

I’ve followed you guys for a year or two and I am at a crossroads with the gym and how it’s not giving me what I need physically, and most importantly, mentally. I’m going to try to be more consistent with yoga and decrease the gym as it’s not helping. This video came RIGHT on time for me, I’m so grateful for you guys doing this video 🤙🏾💪🏾🖤

Hopefully this helps to answer your question on building strength and muscle through yoga ✌️ Get strong here with us: bit.ly/2VgrMPm

Yoga created this man's arms!?! Holy crap.

I fully agree with you guys, dear Breatheandflo! The moment you stop focusing on the external/material/validation seeking obsession you become healthier in and out. Whatever you do, wear, eat etc, If it’s not healthy it is not beautiful, if it doesn’t allow you to move and live in a functional , natural way with no pain .., it isn’t beautiful either. I moved out of the gym routine gradually and it’s been 6 years that I “only” do yoga, Pilates and body weight exercises daily. I quit hard core cardio. I’m 49 and I have never been this fit in my life I get the “do you lift” question all the time! And my answers are exactly like yours. Thank you for being there! I’m so happy I “bumped” into this channel! Your classes & life approach are fantastic 🙏 namaste

Beautifully expressed. This resonates with everything I have come to realize from moving away from weight training and towards yoga (as well as a plant-based diet and more).

I have so much respect for this guy. I was a body builder for years. Still am to an extent. However, I have never been in better, stronger, and a more solid condition. Weights are very bad for you in the long run. This is purely strengthening everything. Joints, ligaments, flexibility, mobility, and yes, muscle. The pumps and cardio I'm getting in this, are fantastic. I also have over come a shoulder injury fantastically using these routines. This is amazing.

The gym messed my shoulder up, you're yoga guidance fixed it. I'll never go back to lifting weights. Amazing channel, amazing people.

Oh my gosh you guys! Thank you for this video. Flo, I relate so much to your feelings of having to look a certain way as a man and needing to be in the gym to make that happen. I want to be more functional and strong with body weight. I also was humbled when doing your yoga classes 😆

Thank you guys, I recently sold my weights before moving and am likely not going to re-buy thanks to the amazing workouts on your channel and the joy of feeling strong after my practice compared to the tiredness I felt in the past. The fact that you your classes are a bit harder than others makes it very engaging and exciting to do them.

i am so inspired by both of you right now! Due to health problems I cant run anymore, and weight lifting doesnt work as well anymore , and doesnt give me quite what I need, as it used to, but now I started doing your embark program, I am on my second week repeating it, and I feel it will give me a very good feeling about my body, mobility that I have longed for and good strength! I am so happy abou this and I really want to thank you!

Great video, thx for posting. I’m a long time Yogi and BJJ practitioner. I’ve found combining heavy but low-rep foundational weight lifting (deadlifts/Turkish getup/farmers carries) 2-3x a week (and adequate rest & nutrition) with yoga and primal movements to be ideal for my body type - allowing me, at 47, to effectively spar with people 10-20 yrs younger with little to no injury or aches.

This is so refreshing. I have been questioning this past few weeks if gym and lifting weights is the best thing for me. As I have spondylosis and all sorts of pains in my body I become really aware of what my body really needs. My subconscious mind keeps pushing me towards callisthenics and yoga. So thank you. You made it easier for me to make healthy choice for myself .🙏

Once I started doing yoga about eight years ago, my jiu jtsu has also improved simultaneously. I also compete at a very high level and the movements in yoga correlate very well with jiu jitsu. Stay safe guys and keep the videos coming. Greetings from New Jersey!!

Love this, thank you both. I’m a 45 year old BJJ white belt, seven months into my Jiu Jitsu journey before my lower back gave out whilst rolling. Then... lockdown. (UK) Been lifting weights for 20 years but I found your channel a few weeks ago and I’m totally hooked. I subsequently also watched the video where Flo explained how he found yoga after a back injury. This resonated big time. It’s shocking to me how much I’ve neglected my back and overall functional strength in general down the years. No more. Time to re-evaluate. Thanks so much for your wisdom and inspiration. Nothing but love. Stay safe. X

Your videos have been so healing for me. I'm a 41 year old colon cancer survivor (5 years), and have ongoing digestive challenges. Your videos are among the most effective things I have done that builds muscle tone and strength without wrecking my gut in the process. I actually feel wonderful when I'm done...and believe me, I've tried a lot of different types of exercises. I have still been concerned about building/strengthening muscle when yoga is by far the most impactful for me overall. Thank you for clarifying more of that in this video. I have a pull up bar, so I might begin including some pulling to round it all out a little more.

I do strength training twice a week and yoga twice a week with meditation at the end. Yoga not only helped me lift more weight, it helped me to be functional and mobile in my everyday task. I would say yoga is a way of using your own body and mind to achieve the better version of you. There's no limit to it. P.S. love both of you guys ❤

It's so ironic I came across this today. I've been thinking about giving up the gym life. I eat super healthy, I do everything I am "supposed" to do and NOTHING is working, I'm always in pain, hurting to the point I can't even sit still sometimes. I've been watching your vids for about a month now and I'm absolutely addicted to Yoga. I'm astounded that I actually crave yoga, I literally can't wait to get up and go to it, breathing exercises, everything. I'm sure I'll transition out of the gym in the next few months, I'm taking this as a sign. I can go all day about how the gym is NOT doing anything for me physically and mentally, but I won't at the moment, thank you both so much. Namaste.

I really identify with this video! Thank you for sharing. I had a similar stress when the pandemic caused my gym to close. It's forced me to rethink everything about how I move, use my body, look, feel, etc. In many ways, I am happy COVID forced this, because I may have not made this change on my own. I have done yoga casually, years ago, but it was always just a compliment to my main focus, lifting. Now, I have found your channel and as of today, I have practiced with you both every day, for 60+ days. I have every intention of continuing and finding ways to reach my fitness goals without the gym! I also felt the same thing about lacking a push element, so I am incorporating bar work to balance that out. Thank you both for SO MUCH inspiring content! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!

I also was a huge gym buff most of my teen-age and adult life. I would spend hours there weight training, and cardio. I never saw the results I saw with doing yoga tho. After some health challenges and battling a horrible addiction to alcohol, I was no longer able to actually go back to my routine at the gym for good; someone at a local church I attended said come try yoga in person (I had before back in the day and it was hard!) and my physical therapist recommended it too. I had done yoga since 2011 on, and off with Jillian Michaels, and other DVDs. This was different. I'd been in such ill health that I didn't think I could even workout, but quickly, I joined a studio, and was a natural. I had done acro tumbling as a girl, and was flexible. Yoga came naturally to me, and changed my life. Thank you for putting this out there. People don't realize the benefits of body weight training! I became a yoga 200 instructor in 2018,and although I am not teaching right now, it's something I'll never regret doing!!

Love this video. I started following your channel and subscribed over a year ago, shortly after I was diagnosed with cancer. I wanted to introduce more meditation and functional health to prepare my body for treatment. I quickly came across your channel and have been hooked ever since. I have been slowly moving away from the gym, but my “old self” still feels pulled by to my traditional way to training. This is a video I needed to see as it has provided that necessary encouragement, and confirmation, of what I believe my body is telling me. Thank you for the great content that you two continue to put out, you are making a difference in the lives of many other. Practicing on the mat along with you has been a key part in getting into remission and staying healthy from here on.

I don't think there is any kind of video out there like this. This clears everything in a perspective about yoga. This video is the best. ♥️

I been resisting yoga, and been lifting and running. I trained jiu jitsu and wrestling again and have another injury, to the point I am feeling sick of thinking of exercise. I remember I was fully energized when I did Ashtanga yoga everyday. I think this i lnjury is a blessing. It is time to put down my ego and to open up my body again through yoga and movement.

Flo is someone that guys doing yoga can look up to. Explaining how important looking big for our masculinity is. I am doing yoga for the last 2 years mostly asthanga and your stuff, I am grateful for your channel guys. Keep up the good work.

Hi from Iceland. My thinking towards movement has been progressing towards this for some time now. I'm one of the people who have asked you this question. This video was a great addition to the thoughtful answers you gave me on Instagram. Your channel keeps inspiring me to move more and ask my body what it needs. Thank you! 🙏

This makes so much sense, thank you so much!! Love you guys 🙏❤️

Love that you talk about yoga for life! My grandad was doing armchair yoga at 99, when other exercise was no longer an option. Your message is great!

This was super insightful and very interesting to hear about the transition from weights to yoga and especially the transition of your mental health!

I made the transition to yoga about 3-4 months ago. Lifting weights was really messing up my wrists and lower back and even though i looked good and felt good about being muscular, i didn't actually fysically feel good. Only 30 minutes a day of one of your strength yoga workouts or a pullup/pushup workout is enough to make me feel fysically and mentally in good shape. Thanks for the awesome content!

Exactly what I needed to hear right now. I'm trying to quit "the fitness lifestyle" for months for the very same reasons. It's quite hard as I'm really good at it and over the years, it had become an essential part of my identity (and one of my income streams). But why we are here on this planet, right? To learn and grow also through changes. Thanks so much for addressing this topic. Love your channel ❤️

I find this video super interesting and reassuring. I've been weightlifting pretty casually but very consistently for years, and although I think my mentality surrounding it is very healthy, I have really plateaued in terms of progress and found my flexibility worsening more and more. It's amazing to hear and see other people in the comments feeling the same dissatisfaction with classical weight training, and not being alone in that thought. With the gyms shut for lockdown I though this is the perfect opportunity to incorporate more yoga, and your channel and beginner programs have me absolutely hooked like no other videos have had previously. Now it's all I want to do exercise wise, and after a short time i'm actually comfortable sitting cross legged and doing downward dogs for the first time in my life. Thank you guys; a new sub.

Thanks for this amazing video guys. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago. Last May, during the first lockdowns, I decided to take a different path. Before it was all about volume, gym and looking a certain way. Now, 15 kilos less and focusing on body weight exercises, handstands, squats and working with kettlebells , I am discovering new ways of training. I am finding myself more and more attracted to this new way of working out. I am more fit, feel more healthy. These last weeks I have been doing your beginners courses and I’m loving it. I want to get even stronger. I think I’m getting hooked. Thanks again, greetings from Belgium.

Thank you so much. I am in the process of figuring out if the gym is what I need or not. Like you I am a martial artist and put it in my mind I need the gym to be strong but learning I dont need it

Been dealing with weight issues my whole life due to my hormonal issues. And I was always told that all I need to do is restrict my diet and lift weights. Every time I did I would become incredibly fatigued and my muscles would be sore/ damaged for weeks. It was always a downward spiral. BUT every time I go to my Mat I feel uplifted and excepted within this body that I have struggled for years to change and except. Yoga makes me feel whole and grateful for the body I have. I needed to hear this today 🙏🏾 thank you.

Transitioning from gym to more yoga. Started with EMBARK program today! So good, love the way you guys teach. I will be returning to your channel for a while now haha. Thanks!

ahahah I was somehow 'afraid' of the answer you would give here cos I have never liked the gym, went less than 10 times in my whole life and I am 40!!!! I have always felt the same than when people go there, it does not make them necessarily healthier... I am a surfer and Yoga has brought more process into my practice and greatly thank you to your channel, you guys rock! Thanks

I stopped lifting since December too. I feel stronger, more flexible and more balanced by doing your practice. Many thanks for your videos 🙏

This question was on my mind. Thanks for clarifying this. Yoga and BJJ feels like I’m on the right track as well :)

2 beautiful people, inside and out. Thank you for your channel, I'm looking into yoga for the 1st time after years of gym time, I'm 49.

I have started yoga with you guys since lockdown is keeping me from the gym. I am nearly 2 weeks in now of following your videos everyday! Thank you , I am loving it .

I actually asked myself that also when I was training bjj, I used to get injured a lot in my shoulder when I rolling, lifting weights, and doing yoga, when I removed lifting weight my shoulder got much better, and I only focus on yoga, thanks for the great video's! 🙏

I thank you. Know you are facilitating progression in peoples' bodies and lives. Praise to God for choosing to share your talents with us. Thank you, Flo and Bre. Many years to you and family.

Thank you, I am about half way through your 28 day program. I was looking for some stronger yoga to practice and found it! I am so grateful that you sharing your experience, it is helpful to me. Your guided meditation's as well have been very encouraging. I am looking to build more muscle and ran into this video in my feed so I checked it out. I am inspired. I apricate you both.

You guys are awesome. I can relate to you guys so much as a BJJ Practitioner and ex-weightlifter, discovering your page really has set me on the right path. So much gratitude to you both! Namaste.

Thank you so much for going into this both of you. I have been doing yoga for about 2 months now and following your ignite program which I am due to finish whilst on lockdown. You guys really helped me get back up off my sofa and start looking after myself again after a long break from any exercise. I used to be an avid gym goer but I always crash and burn. I will do it for a year, then go on holiday or get sick and feel low energy and I will quit. The whole hassle of getting home then going to a packed gym just doesn't inspire me. With Yoga even when I am feeling like it may be hard work today I can just roll out the mat and have no excuse to get it done. I always feel great after it. Going to try getting into hand stand training now you have inspired me!

Thanks guys for the quality content. I especially love your yoga for men series and look forward to each episode thats coming out. Hopefully I can improve my body functionality and strength in the coming years following your programs.

I started doing yoga to complement my mountain sports pratice (ski touring, rock climbing, etc) and be more flexible to prevent injuries. Bit by bit i learned that the world of yoga is so much more than that... Its also about your mind, the relation that you have with your body and even with others or the environment around you. Personnaly i always hated to go to the gym, being closed inside... being outdoors doing other sports is so more fulfilling. I have the chance to pratice yoga outside with a great view, and ocassionally i do a bit with mountain refuges. Thanks guys for this videos, and like you said everyone is free to pratice as they want, as long they are fine with it and it helps themselfs being better persons. And dont forget that we keep evolving every single day, in our minds also... so what we think now can change in 1, 3 our 5 years...thats how we are! Keep up the nice work you guys!

This video touches very close to home. I have spent my whole life in sports and the gym only to be greatly humbled by my first yoga class at my gym. I thought how can I not do these movements if I am so strong and thats where my mindset changed. I am now in the process of following your yoga videos and transitioning from my gym's tues/thursday free yoga class to cancelling and joining a real yoga stuido. Thank you ♥

A very relatable story in this video and the comments... Been following you two for a while and I can say, from the early videos to now your energies and truw natures are really shining through 😉

You don't need to add weight to your leg Flo, yes Ur body mass is absolutely fine, and nothing needs to be changed. Lovely questions answered in the most beautiful way. Yes I agree with everything you both have explained on yoga. Yes it's strength training and cardio, yoga is a wholesome way of keeping ourselves fit, mental, physical and spiritual as well. My personal experience also is I prefer yoga over anything and everything

I’m so happier to hear this because I really want to get fit but yoga is the only type of workout that I enjoy doing aside from cycling but I’m not always able to ride and yoga you can do anywhere and all you need is a mat!

I have recently started doing Yoga and just found your channel. It's a great help, I thought I was strong too for going to gym all the time but i have realised that I have no core strength at all or flexibility and I am not as strong as I thought. Thanks a lot for the videos and helping me on this journey

Not what I expected when I clicked, but I am glad I did. I don't think I will quit the gym - I love lifting and feel like it's meditative for me - but I appreciate your perspective. I am trapped in a hotel room right now (quarantine in Hawaii) and I started Ignite one week ago when my lockdown started. It's been wonderful getting to know you through your videos. Thanks for putting out such beneficial content. Maybe I will take up yoga on the regular, yet!

This actually opened up a different perspective for me about Yoga. I love Yoga and started practicing Yoga a bit late in life. But Yoga has helped me with not only flexibliity and strength, but also helped me big time with my joint problems which was unbelievable! And to hear this makes me love Yoga the more. Well done on you Bre and Flo. You've done great.

Thank you so much my brother and sister. Great positiveness are shown through your videos. Amazing souls. God bless you more and more throughout your journey and in the hereafter! Amen

I am indian, and you are better than indian yoga teachers,. keep the good work up, will meet you somwhere for offline classes, do let me know if there is any

Thank you for the satsang and for opening your hearts.

I couldn't agree more. after many years of going to the gym and then switching to yoga on your channel. I find I'm looking fitter and feel better then ever. thanks for all your help.

I just finished taking intermediate teacher training at Integral Yoga in NYC. The course was online. Thank you.

Im taking this journey of Yoga, meditation, cycling and swimming for some time. All based around nature. At the same time on walks each day I am learning German and becoming closer to fluency. Love your Channel and would be awesome to meet you guys one day and speak Spreche Deutche mit dir :) Veilen danke fur euch, deiner spiritual freunde! Schon tag noch and bis bald.

I'm so grateful and happy to have found your channel🙏 I've done yoga, swimming, been pursuing a career within dance and switched over to weights, fitness classes and now (during this pandemic) finally found my way back to a yoga routine again💙 Over the last few years I also gradually introduced an all plants diet, started BJJ and maybe, just maybe this video (+lockdown) will allow me to try and just listen to my body and focus on bodyweight training and yoga a little bit more. For years now I've wanted to learn how to do a handstand -so maybe this is my chance 😌

Thank you both for keeping me company this lockdown (sending love from Manila, Philippines), Rediscovered my body, complete turnaround.

This is my 1st year of deciding to do just yoga. Last year I did mostly body movements. I started yoga in September and decided to go full time yoga. I changed to yoga because I am thinking it will help my BJJ. Love the content. Thanks

I can so relate to your experience, thanks for sharing. As I started Yoga (17years ago:), I also drifted away from Gym workouts. Working out with weights made my Yoga practice more challenging physically. My body was never more fit and healthy as well as my mind and soul from my daily Yoga practice for many years. I had a less consistent Asana practice for the last 1-2 years, it showed me how big is a difference again in one's body /life without daily Asanas. I was putting more emphasis on my Spiritual practices and inner work during this time, now I am back on my daily asana practice as well, with AM-PM Breathwork with Meditation (a couple of hours), I feel so amazing, my true self again. You guys are truly a great inspiration and beautiful humans at the same time. Congratulation on your beautiful Angel! Love, Melinda

Because of Yoga I feel so much more fit in my body (it’s the first time I can actually see some arm muscles haha)! I love your classes, because they always have some sort of challenge but are also really relaxing, the perfect mix!😊

Deeply grateful for all the material you guys make! I'm passionate about jiu-jitsu, and weightlifting, but have used two of your courses recently for daily yoga and it has been super positive and encouraging, for longevity and overall health.

Thxs for this VDO. I love you both ❤️

This is such important video for me (can speak only for myself). I'm in the journey to hopefully getting stronger.

I've been lifting weights for almost a decade and now i shifted to Yoga and i feel better with myself, i still do lift minimal weights just for the added strength and balance some muscles. Thank you for this insight, i'll be adjusting my routines now :) PS: Your thumbnails are lovely

This is so in line with all the things I've been thinking lately! You both have amazing bodies and it's really interesting to know yoga is also sufficient for cardio. Thank you once more!

Whoever talked about Flo’s legs is insane 😂 His legs are freakin strong. Do a Yoga for Men episode, any of them. My legs are on fire always, no matter what.

Super insightful. I have been following the two of you since the beginning of the pandemic so thank you for spreading positivity.

Thank you both for making this vid. It hit home when you spoke about you always being sore. I just stopped training super hard this week I've been feeling low on myself bcus I keep thinking if I don't workout this way anymore i wont be healthy or strong. I've been doing yoga this week and I cant wait to check out one of your vids!!!

Flo's face at 7:45 😂. Go on my son!!! 😁

loving the honesty and integrity. Like some people below, i found these videos during 'Rona, which is one great thing to come out of lockdown. i've been sending the links to my friends who I think will benefit. the classes are motivating and i get excited when i see new videos. Thank you for sharing everthing.

Great insights.I learned a few good points. Most of my workouts consist of yoga & the pulse series which keeps me fit as well as energized. Thank you.

Bre and Flo… guys what you spoke here about is so much required.. so true.. Yoga is the best way to have a functional body for long, to have a healthy mind and a bunch of happiness in life. Thanks for the video

Wow! Thanks for your knowledge, wisdom, and humility. The way you both finish each others points and look at each other, love in motion ❤ Best wishes from New Zealand.

During lockdown I started doing bodyweight exercises. No gyms. I like it. I've been getting used to it. I want to continue with these exercises. Yoga could be a part of them. I've had different injuries from the gym. It feels good to work with my own body weight. I can see muscles can grow. I don't think I'm going back to the gym. Flo has a perfect body. He has natural-looking muscles. He inspires me. THANKS!

This video answered a lot in my mind. I was worried about that just because of the looks. But the fact is that yoga is the most grateful and joyful exercise that I've ever did! And since I'm at the day 21 of my second time of Ignite program, my body started to change too.

Thank you for making this video! It answered many questions I had but never asked!

I have a similair backstory and love what you're saying in this video. I got into yoga through rock climbing, and it's great how it doesn't only affect the isometric strength but also makes you really aware that an inch left or right in some positions can make a huge difference. When it comes to pull training you guys should give gymnast rings a shot. I think it's very complementary to yoga to do rows and stuff on them, because you need to keep body tention at all times. I actually just wanted to thank you guys for your videos. Since there's no climbing right now, your ignite series and other videos are one of the things that help me through the quarantine. Keep spreading the word!

The only time I am able to do proper push-ups is when I’m consistently doing strength building yoga

Great message you guys and I really appreciate how you are keeping, and emphasizing, that meditation is still needed on top of the movement. Started yoga a couple of years ago and have fallen out and making my excuses... =p but now getting back on and following your 28 day Ignite. Day one down and looking forward to the rest. Thank you for sharing your skill!

Thanks for getting me back into yoga! Because of covid closures I was looking for the perfect gym alternative and your guys are it!

I think different types of workouts can complement each other. Coming from the gym to your first yoga session can be hard, and vice versa. I really like some yoga poses and I dislike others - they just seem awkward and not functional to me. Or I do like it, such as the hand stand, but how "functional" is this? The main benefit of yoga (for me) is the mind-body connection, being mindful of your body, breath, etc. But yoga (even when combined with pull exercises) doesn't seem complete to me. Combined with cardio workouts and (functional) gym exercises it could be a complete package: running, jumping, lifting weights, targeting specific muscles in case of injury, etc.

This video is everything! Thank you!

Hi guys. I began a regular yoga practice after the gyms closed. I have more strength, better posture and more flexibility than ever before. Everything you say here is absolutely true. I will not go back to the gym. Oh, and I'm 69. Yoga is for everyone. Namaste.

Your videos are awesome. As a surfer and climber, I have spent a lot of time doing pulling type movements. The pushing aspect of yoga has really helped to balance me out. Functional movement is key. For most activities and sports, muscle mass does more harm then good. Very well said in this video 🙂 Thank you for all that you do 🙏

I’m new to your channel, thank you for the information. I am also new to yoga but love the mind and body connection. I enjoy your videos as a serious beginner I appreciate your queues.

Wow, the thing you say at 4:36 is SO recoganizble. I've been "bodybuilding" for 5-6 years now, had many injuries because of it (elbow tendonitis , ect), and transferred 2-3 years ago to snowboarding. Just recently started doing yoga to supplement my snowboarding, and found your channel by doing so, thanks for all the great content!
