Yoga is usually an independent, private practice. But along the householder yogi’s road, we come in contact with a lot of other individuals. Yoga with a partner may encourage and welcome deeper levels of connection, communication, trust, and vulnerability, whether the partner is a friend or a lover.

What is partner yoga?

Partner yoga, also known as couples’ yoga, is similar to a normal yoga class in that the yoga postures are performed by two people who physically assist and guide one other in every position. The back-to-back, side-to-side, and front-to-front partner yoga positions sometimes include holding on to the other person for support.

Working with a partner adds excitement and fun to the practice. Yoga with a partner can increase your satisfaction and serve as a wonderful way to strengthen your bond.
