HOw do you get your boyfriends/husbands to do yoga with you?

Question

I am excited about doing it more often, I just started into and wish he would do it more with me.

Answer 1

first of all you should never try to make a man do yoga!...but if you really want to make him simply say ....NO SEX UNTIL YOU YOGA WITH ME!....but come on don't make him do it more than 1 time a week that's just kind of mean and degrading for a man...lol

Answer 2

That's a good question. Unfortunately, yoga is associated with being somewhat feminine; although it's untrue and there are many men who do yoga, it is dominated by women. I view it as the same thing is getting women to go weight lifting with me, most won't do it or will go once or twice and not go anymore, so it's a big part of my life I've never been able to share with my significant others because of the stigma they view with it. But, like yoga there are actually lots of women who lift, but you see mostly men in the gym doing it.

So, put yourself in his shoes. What would get you to do something you really don't feel comfortable doing with him because he loves it? What are the reasons? Is there any way you can compromise or educate him?

In the end, try not to give him an ultamatum. Just let him know it's a part of your life you wish you could share with him and you'd love for him to join you, and he's always welcome, but you still care for him if he chooses not to in the end.

Answer 3

You have to understand Men dont find Yoga very much fun. I own a gym and I always see men getting dragged in to the room where the yoga is conducted. They dont have fun doing it, but when they are done men are ALWAYS happy and feel a lot better. Also men arent flexable, so Yoga is kinda embarassing. Try rewarding him, by maybe playing basketball with him if he goes to Yoga with you, or try doing something he enjoys. Good Luck. you arent the first lady to ask this question.

Answer 4

i showed my husband the article in his mixed martial arts magazine that talked about how yoga will help you improve your muay thai and jiu jitsu.

but before then, it was a total no-go.

but generally, you can get your husband to do anything if you tell him it turns you on. so do sexy yoga and reward him later.

i told my husband it was sexy when he does dishes and that worked.

Answer 5

I tried that tell him he looks really sexy in that yoga outfit. Works like a charm.

Answer 7
