Yoga for the Inflexible Male
Yoga for the Inflexible Male is funny, but it's no joke. Written by Yoga Matt (yuk, yuk, yuk) the book provides 3 dude-specific yoga practices, designated as such by their attention to men who can't even bend over and touch their knees, much less their shins, their, toes, or - what are you, Stretch Armstrong, son?! - the floor.
And, yes, I specifically threw in the Stretch Armstrong reference as an indication that Yoga for the Inflexible Male would be a great gift for Dad.
Yoga Matt gives special attention to the various levels of male inflexibility by including 3 methods to achieve every pose in his practices. The variations are identified as: Good, Not-So-Bad, and Ugly. Each pose includes a detailed description of what it is, how to get into it, and, perhaps more importantly, how to get back out of it. Yoga Matt's writing is casual and supportive, with enough humor to keep you from getting too frustrated even when you can't nail the Ugly.
All poses also include drawings of their variations.
Note: Inflexible ladies looking to explore yoga are welcome to participate in Yoga Matt's Yoga for the Inflexible Male practices too.
