Macho Yoga, Anyone? - Yoga Help Needed
Aside from the Macho Nacho movie reference, this IS a real request for assistance.
Does anyone know of a good YouTube / DTube resource of Yoga for HUSBANDS/guys??
I have been suffering with neck and back issues for years now. Nothing too severe, but I really don't look forward to it getting worse. So I have decided to make a month-late-New Years Resolution and start doing Yoga..... in the comfort of my own home, of course!
Here is my issue. I may be easily distracted by the opposite sex. Women bending over and stretching, in skin tight leotards, has the tendency of distracting me a little bit. When I've done yoga with my wife before, and we are following a dvd set she has or YouTube video, it has more than once seen me going caveman and dragging the misses up to our cave for some "cave drawing". Not all that productive in the "body limberification" efforts.
Although, .....yoga CAN be practiced in the cave as well...
So anyway!........I need a hand up!
I am seeking a resource that is husband friendly. Maybe it will be labeled as christian or family friendly. I don't know. I found one example that came up under christian yoga and it was too campy! I gave up, but figured the health conscious here on Steemit could probably help a brother out!!
so...... HELP! I need some... h e l p ! !!! ---ANY solid leads will be greatly appreciated...and a true winner lead will be rewarded!!
As always... Post your leads and resources in the comments below, or...if your a guy and for some reason don't want to out your yoga practicing addiction...you can message me @em3 on steemit.chat or in discord!!
Thanks so much!! The help will be greatly appreciated!!

Hmmm.... knowing yourself is a good thing. I can respect that.
I have followed this channel for a while: Yoga with Tim
And I did a quick scan and found this video for back pain:
Check it out and if that one works for you, you should be able to watch / use many of his other videos!
Great resolution, and Good Luck!!
<3
That one looks pretty good. Thank you!
I am now subscribed and have that video in my playlist. Will check the rest out later!
How's your mattress and pillow?
I had neck problems for quite a while and changing to a thicker more expensive pillow (won't be the same fore everyone) reduced my neck issues 90-95%.
I thought my pillows were OK before this too. It was just random chance I tried a thicker pillow while visiting a friends house. I woke up with my neck feeling great.
I have tried 4 or 5 different pillows. But I think you are mostly right. I havent found a perfect one yet.
Same with mattress. And it seems my body isn't happy with with one type. I have tried different mattresses and one is fine for a few days...then not.
I have no idea if the pillow or mattress are the issue just wanted you to consider it if you hadn't already.

Hey man! Just found this post and it's too hilarious for a seek for help hahah... But joking aside, I think I can give you a quick evaluation. I'm not posting yoga videos but as a husband, tattooer and amateur football player I think I can pass on some tips. Free of charge, of course. You got everything to gain and it's only up to you from this point on. I can relate to you reaching out and I really think I can help. Cheers! I'll write ya later. If you can just explain a little bit more what can be the stress gaining rutine that has your back/neck so stiff and waiting for you to drain off. I can help by teaching you a couple of moves (not that yogistic but a lot alike, I practice yoga, MMA, Taekwondo, Taichi and gardening helps a lot too, not to mention all the therapeutic stuff for my football and physical recovering after lots of games).. Sometimes exercising for just ten minutes a day you can relieve a lot of stress from your back, neck and knees, and those are the ones that men suffer the most along with aging. Happy week to all of you!
Probably a bit is the smart phone. I do over half my Steemit on my phone. But I had problems before I used smartphones.
I have stress. Mostly familial at the moment. And I had a business 'fail' or 'fail to get started'.
Does any of this help?
And I have had chiropractic and massage treatments before. With massages they never seem to work the kinks out. Its like they provide some relief... But I always feel like I'm just shy of unbunching the tensed muscle.
Perfect. That's the answer I was looking for. Most people will tend to look over the physical symptoms and try to remedy just that. But in reality we all do many activities and routines that we tend to left out when we look for a diagnosis. Our stress come from different places, and I'm going to try to be short and precise:
Anyway... I'm not telling you what to do, I'm trying to understand that as a man you have a lot of years behind you, work, choices, life... and the best thing to do you are already doing it. Asking questions, tring to undestand what you are going through and mos def troubling you. It's easy to jump to conclusions, but the results will show at the moment you realize that this is something new that you're going to build one day at the time, and looking over every routine and habit that is making you only stiffer as years pass. The physical part is where you need to be careful, because you could gain an injure free of charge (or even paying a lot) woking out too hard. So, the best thing to do is try to find that little extra that is going to make the difference between weeks, months, and maybe, just maybe after three years, you could finally believe that you've accomplished something that today you just don't have any idea on how you're going to start. I believe that I haven't got to the real answer that you need, but I know I have the power and knowledge to help you. And I'm just going to aim for it because I want to help. So I'll send you some links later, in a couple of weeks maybe. When I find some of the answers that you need to be a lot better and healthier, and by healthier I mean being THE MACHINE!!! Cheers and good night!
I appreciate it!
Lots to work on! 8-1
What up man! Have you tried to do something about aging? Start living or what? I'm up to a challenge, 100 pushups a day. I'm thinking about showing the count on a vid and there could be like a pushupoff where the last standing gets the bigger piece. You think people would join a contest lke that, D-Tube it?? It would be also a raise for awareness on health issues. Cheers, hope everything's going better!
