The first principle of yoga is ahimsa (non-hurting) so he already flunked big time.
Also, if you are going to maximize your revenue opportunities by having open classes, you have to be prepared to deal with people being at different stages of physical ability and yoga practice. And if you're going to limit the class to people at a certain level, you have to have some kind of audition process.
I'd suggest going only/getting a DVD described as "getting back into it for people who haven't done any yoga for a while" and THEN try classes.
The standard work-around if you can't take weight on your wrists is to make soft fists and put your fists and forearms together and make a tripod. The standard work-around if you can take SOME weight on your wrists but not the whole pose is to spread your fingers and concentrate on spreading weight into the fingers and palm as well as the wrist.
What Changed My Life in doing downward dog was reading a book that said to turn elbows and hands IN instead of out or straight ahead.
Stuff you can't do full out can often be done leaning on the wall (this works especially well for Warrior or inversions) or with blocks and straps.
