Top 3 Yoga Poses To Increase Your Fitness
Catch Dean Pohlman, founder of Man Flow Yoga on Episode #36 of the Optimal Performance Podcast to learn the 3 best yoga poses to increase your fitness. You'll also learn how improved mobility is linked to increased longevity, improves sleep and reduces brain fog.
Mobility and proper movement patterns are closely linked to longevity. A Brazilian study found that lower mobility was linked to shorter lifespans. In talking with Dean, we learned that 80% of yoga participants are female. So guys...listen up! Movement IS life! If living longer isn't enough to convince you of the need for mobility, proper movement is also a prerequisite for performance-based feats like deadlifts, jumps, squats or any other impressive feat you may see an athlete perform. Think about it... If you cannot perform a movement pattern slowly, under control and using only your bodyweight, HOW THE HECK do you expect to have command or mastery when performing that movement explosively or under external load? YOU CAN'T!
Lucky for us, Dean - founder of the online fitness community at Man Flow Yoga was happy to provide some quick and simple fixes to help anyone and everyone see improvements in overall health and physical fitness. He also includes tips that will help us improve sleep, reduce brain fog, improve athletic performance and help us live longer. Enjoy!
