I may be a half-orc, but my DEX rivals my STR. Lizard reach back for this final week of the Clark II challenge and “Strength & Mobility to Fix Posture”.

Dean (@ManFlowYoga on Instagram) often talks about how we need to move into positions like these with strength instead of just flinging our limbs around, so I did some extra practice of just holding my leg up without my hand pulling it in. I got a breath or two in on each side and then immediately launched myself out due to my hamstrings cramping up! It was easier during the workout itself, but the photo session wasn’t that bad either 😃

Low lunge with a twist. Strengthen your core, mobilize your back! I mean that. Your core should be doing all the work in this pose and if your low back starts straining to hold you in this position you’re probably gonna hurt yourself. (You can also extend your arms, but when I do it they go out of the camera frame 🤣) #yoga #manflowyoga #yogaforBAMFs https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8hgJDngrs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cq4np33wn6re

Y’all, @manflowyoga released a workout called “Power Yoga for Balance” today and it is GREAT. A lot of good sequences that build upon each other. You’ll def work up a sweat, but your body also just feels good afterwards. #yoga #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs #yogaInSocksIsNotEasy #MyFeetAreCold https://www.instagram.com/p/Btd4LquH869/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bv0xlg5rs9s7

It’s tempting to focus on workouts/training that leaves you sweaty and exhausted. But y’all, take some time to focus on a restorative session like at least once a week. I just did a 16 minute shoulder recovery session and goddamn do I feel GREAT. #yoga #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOTDM3HIYR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=111ce33puvmyw

Just finished the 21x30 challenge from @manflowyoga - I was 2 days behind 😬 - and the final pose? Mountain. It was nice to just chill for a second cause the rest of the workout was INTENSE. #yoga #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs https://www.instagram.com/p/BqaU5qeH5aY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c2hhimk85140

Is your hip flexor or quadricep especially tight? Try the couch stretch! It’s a nightmare and the first time you try you might think you’re dying. But! It feels GREAT afterwards. The more you do it, the deeper you get. . . Here’s a youtube tutorial: bit.ly/CouchStretch (FYI, capitalization matters in this shortlink) . . #yoga #quadstretch #hipflexorstretch #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs #stretch https://www.instagram.com/p/Boy7M1_g4g8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16b2c8h00fpbu

Warrior two! I’ve been going steady on my weekday yoga for a good 4 weeks now. It’s nice to feel the differences when I go back to a workout I’ve done before. Also nice to know that there’s still room to grow 😃 Warrior two is a “fun” push and pull between wanting to go deeper with my legs while trying to maintain a centered hip position. I can’t count the number of times I’m all celebrating my legs and then I realized my torso is just the leaning tower of poor form 😅 #yoga #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs #WarriorTwo

I’d like to blame it on the camera app’s settings but I am really just that pale 😅 Just your local Web Orc doing some #yoga and reminding you to stay active. It’s important! (especially when your job mostly involves being hunched over a keyboard squinting at the screen.) #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs #stretch #strong https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnq6jFUg-3A/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ebtw6su5zpii

Standing side bends and back bends! Y’all, How my back bend looks and how it feels are VERY DIFFERENT. This was me straining real hard to get a deep back end and it looks like I’m barely standing up straight 😂 ah well, at least I’m being progressive about combating Computer Hunch. #yoga #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs #stretch #strong #WebOrc #BackBend #SideBend https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn81IX2gvUZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cnz0g8xzfymi

This is the face of someone trying very hard to recall the amount of times I said “oh F*** right off” during today’s yoga workout. Buuuuut I will say that I also had the most comfortable pigeon pose in a LONG time today too, so that’s a good thing. @manflowyoga is coming to Chicago, and any of y’alls in town should come along for the fun! The link will be in my bio (ManFlowYoga.com/july15) come on we swear and sweat together! #yoga #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs #NeedToCleanMyCountertops #me

Please insert the obligatory “what’s up dog” joke here 😜 20 Minute Chest, Back, and Shoulders workout from @manflowyoga today. Lots of low planks and even some f***ing Dolphin. Ugh. Forward fold with hands clasped behind my back felt real good though. #ManFlowYoga #YogaForBAMFs #yoga #updog #ItIsVeryGreyAndWetOutside #NoRunningForMe

Yoga Body Challenge week 3, Day 5 complete. So, I’ve done this level 2 lower body workout 4 times in the past two weeks. And I’ve definitely gotten better at it, but the workout itself is still quite strenuous. The nice thing about Yoga (and Man Flow Yoga in particular) is that even when you get “good” at a pose, there’s always a way to add more work. Sure, you could just stay in your comfort zone and claim you’ve mastered a pose. Or you could go a little deeper, move through the pose a little slower, stretch a bit farther. #yoga #ManFlowYoga #YogaBody #YogaStrong #YogaForBAMFs
