For runners, weight lifters, Crossfitters, triathletes, cyclists, and any fitness enthusiast who loves an intense workout: learn exactly how yoga will benefit your performance.

The good news is a yoga practice really can make you better at your sport; and specific tips, postures, and yoga workouts do exist to help you. This book is absolutely everything you need, and absolutely nothing you don't, to be a better athlete.

Synopsis Yoga for Regular Guys by : Diamond Dallas Page

If there's one obstacle to selling wellness books to guys, it's this: none of them are written by professional wrestlers.In the nick of time, the one and only DDP-Diamond Dallas Page-steps out of the ring and onto the mat to offer Yoga for Regular Guys. Most yoga books marketed to men are earnest and straightforward. Yoga for Regular Guys brims with guy humour and an extremely irreverant attitude but still manages to pack in a legitimate, comprehensive and rigorous introduction to real yoga practice. The foreword is written by Rob Zombie of the band White Zombie.
