we learn yoga poses. Nevertheless, the
communication, touch and attentiveness
skills that participants learn through this
experience can definitely lead to a better
love life.
Partner yoga can be used to improve
sexuality by:
♥ Deepening the connection you feel with
your partner
♥ Improve your own understanding of
yourself and your partner
♥ Put you more in harmony with your own
body and mind and so, make you a better
lover and partner
♥ Help you cultivate and maintain emotional
and physical balance
♥ Keep you fit and healthy so that you’re
more physically capable
♥ Allow you to get into some very
interesting positions
Partner yoga is also based on Tantric
philosophy. The word Tantra in Sanskrit
literally means ‘weave’, denoting continuity. It
also means ‘to manifest, to expand, to show’.
In this context, everything - including yoga
and sex - is thought to expand consciousness
and to weave together the polarities of male,
and female, into a harmonious whole.
Tantra means expansion through
awareness, and transformation through
pleasure. It really means that your whole
being is expanded through awareness of
your senses, feelings and energy.
‘Traditional’ yoga is an individual practice,
but this new partner yoga style is a way to
expand our hearts and minds to include
another person.
If in the ‘old’ yoga we withdrew within
ourselves to find inner joy and peace, in
this new yoga we learn to expand ourselves
and to discover that happiness is not onlywithin, but also all around us. Contraction
is limiting and narrowing while expansion is
freeing. The more we expand ourselves to
include others, the more fun and meditative
the feeling is.
But there’s only so much that can be
explained with words. So hold your partner’s
hands, look into their eyes, breathe together
and with heightened awareness flow as one
through a series of beautiful yoga poses.By Gopala Amir Yaffa, co-founder, Rainbow
