I love your post here in so many ways !!
Regarding the yoga. I have done yoga for several years and I love it; but my husband never had any interest in it. I think he thought it was girlie.....
But in rehab they had yoga and he started doing it & he really FELT the benefits related to relaxation and that peaceful feeling. So now we both do yoga... and I bought him way cool manly yoga gear. He also does a martial arts one that he started in rehab, but I forgot the exact name of it .... he really likes that one too.
Thanks for sharing.
