Yoga For Men Workout For Body Mind Spirit

by Bruce Eric Van Horn

 From the moment the alarm clock sounds to the time his head hits the pillow again, the typical man experiences dozens of stressful events every day. Whether it's tight finances, employment insecurity, challenging family issues, or all of the above, the majority of men fail to cope with such stress in a healthy way. Yoga for Men equips men with the yoga know-how to improve their physical, mental, and spiritual health. An increasing number of men are tapping into the power yoga can release within them. 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.

This is a promising but dated book (2002). I would to have to make the time to try out the exercises and meditation methods in order to know if the book is adequate or not. I just don't know.

With my wee bit of experience the book appears to be a nice introduction. It isn't too much. In fact, it may be just right for someone who is wanting to stick their toe int he water of Yoga without being overwhelmed.

The author makes a lot of promises about the health, emotional, and spiritual value of yoga. It would be interesting to know if his yoga business has prospered (there is a web site, so I know it exists in some form. my question is whether or not it has been a success.) or if it was all just the thing the author was working on at the time. The book mentions a report that would be available in 2002. I haven't been able to access it on the site, nor any other reports. This gives the appearance that one should accept the book as it is and not expect it to have been the beginning of a writing career by the author.

In the end, I am saying I don't know how to evaluate the book.

Some good exercises to add/subtract from your own personal routine.
