What is DDP Yoga?

DDP Yoga, also known as DDPY, combines the best of yoga, old-school calisthenics, sports rehabilitation therapy, and dynamic resistance to create one of the most effective fitness plans in existence today. It allows anyone to:

• Lose weight
• Decrease pain
• Build strength
• Increase flexibility

The main benefits of DDP Yoga are body fat loss, lean muscle growth, and improved cardiovascular performance, without placing undue stress on the joints. DDP Yoga is currently used by the NFL Alumni Association, professional wrestlers, MMA fighters, and regular, everyday people who want to perform at optimum levels and place themselves in the best position possible to improve their quality of life.

Arthur Boorman’s incredible transformation story (above) proves that not only can almost anyone do DDP Yoga, but that hard work and persistence can lead to incredible results.
