Yoga Instructor On K&KTNY Doesn’t Even Teach Nude Classes – VIDEO

December 1, 2011 by Hollywoodite

In another example of staging scenes to provoke Kris Humphries, the yoga instructor featured on the season premiere of Kourtney & Kim Take New York said he doesn’t even teach nude; he usually gives a clothed class.

Ralph Craig, a 22-year-old Ashanga yogi and practicing Buddhist, went on Facebook to clarify: “I only teach clothed classes!”

Moreover, Humphries’ reaction was edited to make the 26-year-old look bad.

Craig tells The Hollywood Reporter, Humphries’ initial reaction was surprise and laughter: “I haven’t seen the show yet but I read some of the reports of what he said. It was pretty surprising to read about it because it was all really funny when he first came in. I went to open the door and he looked taken aback but he was laughing, shook his head and made a joke about it. In fact, that was the funniest moment of the shoot.”

Craig got the job by responded to an email blast that went out to NYC instructors a few months ago, requesting that the teacher be naked on K&KTNY: “Yoga is something you do. It doesn’t matter if you’re naked or not naked. I have no issue with being naked. Everyone who knows me knows that I essentially practice in my underwear.”

Of the now-estranged couple’s interactions, Craig recalls: “I don’t think his reaction had anything to do with me. Like I said, at first he seemed fine with it. I don’t know anything about their relationship but it’s obvious something else was going on. Maybe it didn’t help that there was a naked yoga instructor there but that didn’t bring them to divorce court. And I had no idea that [Kris] didn’t know about the yoga class. As far as I was concerned, he could have come in and taken part in the class.”
