Some guys think yoga makes you less of a man, the truth is it makes you a better one.

In today’s society, being a man is tough. There is a set of unspoken rules that govern the way men are supposed to act and behave – act tough, don’t cry, win at all costs – and these rules are passed down from generation to generation. But a shift has happened, and the world has opened up to a more conscious way of living, a more compassionate way of living.

Sit Down, Be Quiet by Boys of Yoga is a straightforward book for the modern male who’s ready to step in and start taking control of their own identity and mental well-being. It’s time to smash the stereotypes and appreciate that it’s cool to be kind, self-aware, and non-judgemental. Through practising yoga – working inside as well as out – and adopting a mindful approach to the everyday, this book celebrates the way in which guys can take the first steps to a healthier, happier life in the here and now.
