BROGA – AKA ‘YOGA FOR BROS’ – GOES ON TOUR


Matt Miller, a former professional American footballer, is taking his no-nonsense approach to yoga on tour across the UK – and the prime target for the sessions is men. ‘Yoga is not just for girls’ is the motto of


Broga® (yoga for bros), which has done away with the chanting and chimes that have given the discipline the perception of being too feminine and spiritual. Instead, it offers “a strong, intense and physically challenging workout”. The bodybuilding Californian brought Broga to


the UK in 2012 and will now be touring the UK and Ireland this month – although contrary to the name, women are also welcome. Miller, who’s also the trainer on Channel 4’s


The Fat Fighters, says it “challenges your body in new ways while opening up traditionally tight areas including the chest, shoulders, hips and hamstrings”. Details: www.brogauk.com

Shopping vouchers for workouts The initiative works in the same


way as many high street loyalty cards: employees earn points for the amount of time they spend exercising, and these points are then exchanged for retail vouchers sponsored by and redeemable at local businesses. It’s hoped that the local businesses


will also get a boost from the increased footfall they will receive. Read more: http://lei.sr?a=C1o9X

BIO-ACTIVATED HORROR MAZE TO LAUNCH IN 2015


A maze that people navigate using biosensor technology could be a unique way to entice the Playstation generation – those aged 18 to 34 – to get more physically active when it launches this year. Interactive games company Slingshot has


revealed plans for an indoor maze with a Jekyll and Hyde theme. Users will be rigged up with biosensors to activate features while trying to avoid monsters. They could raise their heartbeat to change the soundtrack, for example, or breathe on a door to unlock it. Slingshot is negotiating the fi rst venue for the maze. Read more: http:// lei.sr?a=r3v5w
