'When I discovered "Yoga for the Inflexible Guy", I thought it was too good to be true. It's a safe space without body judgement and Danny leads us old dudes through poses and breathing that work for my body. It's not just good for my body, it's good for my soul. I feel rejuvenated after each class. " Josh A.
