[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I took the day off together tomorrow for a day date and we were scheduled for a 10am Pilates class together at the gym. I just logged into his account and removed him from the class. Solidarity ladies!! [/quote]

From a Pilates girl thank you! You are doing the Lord's work![/quote]

I’m the PP who took my DH out of class. I would like your advice as a Pilates girl. My DH has a genetic condition that affects his connective tissues. By 55 he’ll most likely be unable to walk. He cannot lift weights or do anything beyond body weight. He’d been doing yoga and Pilates in a gym class setting as his work out. Should he instead just do online classes at home? He’s obviously not macho due to his disability [b]but a woman’s comfort/ peace of mind is more important to me.[/b] [/quote]

Wow. I'm another who doesn't like men in yoga with me, but like them in bootcamp. Just different energy, and frequently the men coming in straight out of bed and don't smell great.

That said, you should care MORE about helping with your DH's disability than solidarity to a bunch of women you probably don't even know. If your DH can gain benefit from a yoga class, he should be there.  [/quote]

A man's ability to walk isn't more important than a yoga class. [/quote]

Are you saying that a man's disability that could be helped by yoga is less important than the yoga class, a yoga class that allows men? You are hard.[/quote]

No one should be in yoga class unless they are of Indian heritage. It's cultural misappropriation otherwise:
