In a world full of strife and disharmony, Partner Yoga presents a truly unique physical and spiritual art that uses touch and intimacy to promote physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well being and health. Touch and Intimacy are integral part of our well being, but often neglected in today’s fast paced and hectic world.

It is a common myth that Partner Yoga is only meant for couples. This is far from true Partner Yoga can be performed with friends, with parents or children and with friends. While on one hand doing Yoga exercises help strengthen your body and mind, and on the other, doing it with a partner provides the added benefit of strengthening the bonds of your relationship with your partner. One of the biggest differences between Partner Yoga and any other form of Yoga are the psychological benefits they provide which go a long way in spiritual awakening.

When one practices Yoga with a partner, he or she has to depend upon the partner for proper alignment of the body as well as support. One has to be able to provide support as well as trust the partner to provide support in turn. This kind of interaction fosters deep feelings of nurture as well as acceptance. You have to be able to feel physically safe and secure with your partner in many Yoga Asanas, especially balancing poses. This feeling of trust also goes a long way in fostering the relationship. You will also need to come to terms with your fear of trusting other people and overcome it to performing Yoga asanas of Partner Yoga. This is a big step towards spiritual awareness as well as towards developing deep bonds with people in your life. You will come to terms with yourself the way you are and at the same time you will be able to see that you can support and nurture people the way you are. These feelings of trust, support, surrender and acceptance that accompany the practice of Yoga with a partner will slowly find their way into your everyday life and deeply enrich your experience of living while also taking you ahead on the path of self awareness.

Partner Yoga is a great for parents and children to participate in. Not only does it help develop the bond between them, it also fosters in the children the need and importance of exercising and being healthy. It could have a lifelong impact on the children. On the other hand, if you are practicing Yoga with your parents, it will provide each one of you with a sense of acknowledgement and fulfillment. If you are practicing Partner Yoga with a friend, not only will it help strengthen the bonds of friendship, it will help you both motivate each other towards being healthy and leading a healthy lifestyle. And if you are practicing Partner Yoga with your life partner, then the intimacy and understanding on yourself and one another will only help to strengthen the bond of love that holds you together.
