The Partner of a Yoga Teacher
When you are a yoga teacher,
but your partner has body pain—
The first thing he will do:
Go see a doctor.
Use an electric massager.
Apply pain relief cream.
But he won’t:
Spend 10–15 minutes doing a few simple exercises.
Sometimes I really find it amazing.
I’m not asking for difficult poses.
I’m not asking for two hours a day.
Just 10 minutes.
Move a little. Stretch a little.
But those 10 minutes feel like the hardest thing in the world.
There was one time he was in so much pain he couldn’t even get out of bed.
I helped him adjust and move for about 20 minutes—
and he could immediately stand up and walk.
I thought,
“Okay, now he understands. From now on he’ll practice a little every day.”
Two days later…
He said, “That happened? Really?”
And then the same cycle again:
Doctor. Massager. Cream.
After a while—
the pain comes back.
Sometimes I tell him,
“Look at our parents.
In a few more years, if you can’t move freely,
you’ll need help just to go somewhere.”
When your body is not free,
your quality of life changes.
But honestly, I understand.
It’s not just him. It’s our generation.
We want fast results.
We want instant solutions.
We don’t want to slowly change habits.
But the body is not a fast-food shop.
If you don’t invest time, it won’t improve by itself.
Anyway…
As a yoga teacher,
sometimes the hardest practice
is not daily yoga—
It’s holding back from complaining about your partner 😂
Luckily he doesn’t follow me here.
If he finds out I wrote this about him… I’m in trouble 🤫
身為瑜伽老師嘅另一半
當你係一個瑜伽老師,
但你身邊嗰位有痛症時——
佢會第一時間:
去睇醫生
用電動按摩器
搽藥膏
但就係唔會:每日花十零分鐘,做幾個簡單練習去解決。
我有時真係覺得好神奇。
我又唔係叫你做高難度體式,又唔係叫你每日兩個鐘。
十零分鐘咋喎。郁下、拉下啫。但嗰十零分鐘,好似要佢死咁。
其實佢試過一次嚴重到連床都落唔到。
我幫佢做咗二十分鐘調整——
即刻行得走得。
我心諗:「今次應該醒覺啦掛?之後會每日做小小啦掛?」
點知過兩日……
佢竟然話:「有啲咁嘅事咩?」
然後又係熟悉嘅循環:
睇醫生、按摩機、藥膏。
過一排——
痛又返嚟探佢。
有時我都會講:
你睇下我哋父母,
再過幾年行動唔方便,
想去邊都要靠人。
身體唔自由,會直接影響生活質素。
但講到尾我都明——
唔止佢,其實我哋成個年代都係咁。
想快,想即刻見效,唔想慢慢改習慣。
但身體唔係快餐店。
你唔花時間投資,佢唔會自己升值。
不過算啦。
身為瑜伽老師,
有時最難唔係每日練習,
係——忍住唔投訴你另一半,見到問題當見唔到 😂
好彩佢無 follow 我,比佢知我寫佢,我死緊 🤫
