Find connection, harmony, trust and play with partner yoga. Wendy A. Hern
W
ant to share your mutual love of yoga or share
your personal passion of yoga with a friend
or with someone you love? Why not explore
partner yoga?
Sharing a practice of breath and bodily
movement can bring you closer together, whatever your relationship,
temporarily on the mat and perhaps even cultivate a positive
experience off the mat longer term.
Letting yourself be free to trust yourself in the experience of
also trusting your loved one can bring growth to your practice
and relationship. As you engage in holding postures together by
supporting each other and finding a balance with each other to keep
your balance in asana, you begin to develop a respect of not only
your abilities, but also the abilities of your partner. Where one may
be stronger, the other may be more flexible. Where one may be more
grounded, the other may take flight. Finding a ‘balance in opposition’
and encouraging a ‘give and take’ from each other is essential
in daily life and in our relationships. Be open without judgement
and allow yourself to enjoy another kind of ‘oneness’ in yoga with
someone you love. You may just find yourself discovering something
new about yourself and learning something new about someone you
thought you knew everything about already.By Wendy A. Hern (lovelife-yoga.com)Just good friends
