Couple/Partner Yoga




Concept:
Yoga, as you probably know, is the age-old practice of controlled movements and meditation. For individuals, it provides a renewed sense of self. But for the couple that practices together, yoga can strengthen the bond and create a deeper understanding between individuals. Yoga can do so much for relationships. It lets you feel your partner in a way that you normally don’t see them. You get a sense of the push and pull between two people.

Yoga, like any other new experience, places couples into a state of reexamination. When you have been with someone long enough, you may start to feel less like an individual as well as lose sight of your partner’s individuality. Yoga can help fix this common problem. It’s a sensual process where you’re touched and engaged – it’s not overtly sexual, but in a way, it’s really reveals a bit about yourself and the other person. Seeing your partner in a different and unusual way – getting out of the normal routine – can be a turn on.
