Episode 156 - Build Strength, Balance, and Flexibility with Man Flow Yoga’s Dean Pohlman
Many men think yoga is primarily for women because most participants are female, and classes often cater to women's needs. My guest, Dean Pohlman, explains that men and women have different flexibility requirements, making traditional yoga more challenging for men. However, yoga has evolved to include elements like British gymnastics, making it more accessible for everyone.
Dean, founder of Man Flow Yoga, shares his journey into men’s yoga and how it transformed his approach to fitness by improving his flexibility, core strength, and body awareness. He addresses other common misconceptions, such as yoga for men being too spiritual or not physically challenging enough.
Dean explains how men’s yoga workouts can be adapted to meet their specific physical needs, with a focus on balance, posture, and injury prevention yoga. He emphasizes the lifelong benefits of yoga, not only for increasing strength and flexibility but also for overall well-being, particularly for men over 40.
You'll learn how morning yoga flow can relieve common issues like lower back pain, knee pain, and shoulder stiffness. Dean also highlights how strength-focused yoga helps build core and hip strength to reduce strain on overworked joints.
If you're ready to build strength, balance, and overall fitness, tune in to this episode and discover how Man Flow Yoga can help men over 40 stay active, pain-free, and in peak physical condition.

Unaddressed trauma can hinder personal growth and fulfillment, especially for men over 40. From childhood events and family struggles to emotional pain, these burdens often resurface later in life and can lead to self-sabotage, poor health, and strained relationships.
In this episode, Dimitri Giankoulas shares his story of confronting his past, healing from trauma, and rebuilding his life. Dimitri is a certified personal trainer, performance nutrition specialist, and entrepreneur and has been in the fitness industry since 1997.
He opens up about growing up without a father and how his struggles shaped his worldview, especially his ideas on family and success. Dimitri also reveals how he navigated the near-collapse of his business during the COVID-19 pandemic and how reconciling with family brought him peace.
Now focused on helping men over 40 transform their lives, Dimitri offers valuable insights on why fitness, mindset, and having a supportive community are key to personal growth.
Tune in to hear how Dimitri turned his struggles into strength and how you can apply his lessons to your own transformation.
