I've been thinking about starting a yoga project for a while, a class for ultra-beginners, which my boyfriend happens to be. He has agreed to demonstrate things for it, which is definitely a thing to do. When I asked him about it, I didn't really expect him to say yes, but he says he'll do it if it helps me. It's sweet and brave, and I am so very proud.

I'm talking about pre-yoga. Something to come before sun salutations and the like, because there are people who aren't ready for that. They hear the word 'yoga' and the associated with the pictures you see of young pretty girls doing standing splits.

But wrestling is fun. It's a game with a happy ending and no losers.

Not sure if they are kinky, or just don't know their own strength.

A lot of men are afraid to step out side those lines because they don't want to be thought of as "unmanly". Of example: doing yoga. Though height is also another one of those weird things. I have no issue with it since I am a good 6'4.....in heels. lol.

The goal is to show Boyfriend in a positive way, but he still has to show his inabilities for it, which is such a difficult thing to do.

In the eastern cultures yes, though in the west it is considered feminine or gay. This is do to how it was introduced into western society. Though true yoga was taught as a spiritual enlightenment method, Modern yoga was marketed in the 80s along with aerobics as a sort of cheap and easy workout program for housewives. Which is kinda bullshit.

Before I met my husband I was in a relationship with a man who was just 5'8, and he was one of the most confident and assertive men I have known in my life. The manly man is a confident gentleman who speaks softly (and carries a big stick), not a brutish caveman.

oooh sounds fun I'm more into Yin/Taoist/whatever-misnomer-you-prefer yoga, which I recommended my bf try since he has back problems and rides a bike everywhere, but he says it's sissy yoga and likes Bikram better -___- can't make a horse drink, can't make a bf stretch

It's not terribly fast paced; I like to hold things. Maybe that's why no one will hire me Once in a while, I tell Jon that he can do the minimal exercises for him to not be in constant pain, or he can stop bitching about it. Like a lot of people, he's basically just accepted pain as a part of life. He's slowly warming up the idea, but actually taking the time of of his day to do stuff is much harder than accepting it will helps. So I'm hoping this will help. I just started my blog, but I'm slowly getting readers, and I think positive feedback will help him along. If not, then I told him that we can stop at any moment. He gets final say on anything that gets posted, and if it makes him uncomfortable, we end it.
