Kate Misurka founded our program in 2009 after being approached by the men in her life who wanted to “try out this yoga thing” but “twisting into a pretzel and wearing yoga tights was just not gonna happen”.

“Yoga4Stiff Guys™ has helped me significantly reduce my chronic lower back pain, something my chiropractor has not been able to do. An extreme sports enthusiast, I never thought I would enjoy yoga nor did I expect to get such a great workout. I was once the stiffest guy in class, but no longer. I encourage and challenge everyone to try at least one or two classes.”

“Yoga helped me get my health back. I was badly out of shape with high cholesterol. You4Stiff People helped me make Yoga a regular part of my routine. My health turned around and in just one year I was fit again and my cholesterol was perfect. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the personalized approach of the Yoga4Stiff People team.”

“I am a long-time road runner, but an unenthusiastic stretcher. At first, I was a reluctant “absolute beginner”. Yoga4Stiff Guys™ has not only unlocked my hips and made my glutes and hamstrings more flexible, but has also noticeably strengthened my quads. "
