Exactly! It's the "senior citizen" generation that brought Yoga to the West, basically. Ask Paul McCartney. lol
Timber's joke was on my comment, not really about the yoga.

Did he ever explained the daily, hours long texting? With whom? About what? Yoga? Lol!
Now he overnight changed his behavior?
And what about the conversations OP is having with her husband now: just a little bit everyday with the emphasis "we will talk more tomorrow..."
Normally, concerned people sit down and have talk till everything is said and clear. On one sitting. No?
Oh, yeah - I forgot, OP does it on her own pace. Sure! What woman would want to do that?

You started this thread indicating that your husband behavior and the daily yoga classes were strange, and now you are saying that no, his yoga obsession is perfectly fine, because you both "grew up in the counter-culture-travel to India-ashram-yoga-meditation milieu."...
I predict the husband will go underground with the texting now. He's not going to give up whatever he is "grooming" for based on one vague, consequence-free conversation.
Then will come the "I love you but I'm not in love with you" conversation, and the "I need space" separate bedrooms conversation and so on and so on. It's as predictable as the Hero's Journey in literature.
To the contrary, she's well aware that something is very off with her husband's behavior with the frequency of his yoga and meditation classes and also the frequency and duration of his texting sessions. I believe that she is trying to handle the situation with a modicum of restraint and grace rather than going in with all guns blazing, which can blow up the situation and result in unintended consequences. Is there some reason that you want to add to her current pile of emotional crap by throwing barbs her way, because I don't think you're really being helpful.

Operative words: "Daily" And "obsession." Read carefully. Don't twist my meaning.
What's with all the snark?
