In this episode, I talk with Dean Pullman, founder and CEO of Man Flow Yoga, to break down how yoga for ruckers can improve posture, reduce pain, and increase longevity under load without requiring flexibility, experience, or long classes.Dean explains why most ruckers struggle with mobility due to years of sitting, poor posture, and limited movement patterns and how rucking can expose those weaknesses if flexibility and stability are ignored. You’ll learn how rucking flexibility directly impacts back health, hip function, and recovery, and why short, consistent mobility sessions are more effective than doing nothing at all.The episode also covers:Why flexibility is a performance tool, not just stretchingCommon yoga mistakes that lead to injury (and how to avoid them)Simple pre-ruck and post-ruck mobility routinesHow breathing improves movement, posture, and recoveryHow ruckers can build a sustainable rucking recovery routine with as little as 5–10 minutes a dayWhether you’re brand new to rucking or looking to keep rucking pain-free for decades, this episode provides practical, no-nonsense guidance you can apply immediately.Links & ResourcesMan Flow Yoga – Official SiteFree Beginner Yoga for Men 7-Day ChallengeFollow The Rucker’s Edge on Instagram: @theruckersedgepodNotes:Music Credit: "Play This Game" by Black Rhomb.
