yoginimom, 3 months ago | Flag as InappropriateI too am a certified instructor. I agree with the otheres and would definitely suggest he take a few classes, however if this is not an option, you may want to think about props. Learning to sit with a neutral spine in a chair may be easier at first then on the floor,sinc e the seated posture also works on the flexabilit y in the hips. As he progresses , using blocks, straps, pillows, blankets,a nd chairs for balance can be helpful. Look for a DVD or book about using yoga props, or I think there is also an article here on YJ featured about just that! Good luck! -
Erica, 3 months ago | Flag as InappropriateI agree with Bendigrrl.Get him to a class. And right now, before his interest wanes. Despite many attempts the only pose I've been able to teach my significan t other is Legs-Up-th e-Wall Pose... Just imagine how you would feel if he were "teaching" you... telling you what to do... correcting your alignment. .. etc. It's a tricky anyway, but especially since your hubby is a complete newbie.Tak e him to a class! -
bendigrrl26, 3 months ago | Flag as InappropriateCongrat! I'm a certified yoga instructor, with a VERY stiff & new to yoga live-in boyfriend. He has finally embrace yoga too (yay!) but my best recommenda tion would be to not attempt to teach him on your own. Find a class you think he'd enjoy, or sign up for a couple's lesson. There are some really fun ways to do yoga together too- like Thai Massage :) This will go way further than you trying to leverage your own practice in a way that will benefit him. Best of luck!
