Q: I finally got my husband to take a yoga class when we were on vacation after years of asking him to join me. He wouldn’t admit to it but I think he was intimidated more than anything. What would you say to someone like him who’s intimidated to take a class?
A: n the contemporary United States of America, men are terrified of failure and being humiliated. And they are also afraid of admitting to being afraid for fear of appearing weak. Unfortunately, having a woman, especially his wife, call him out on this would be his worst fears come true. I suggest that you ask a male who enjoys yoga to speak to him about it or to give him articles describing how male professional thletes are benefiting from yoga practice.
