Yoga for Healing Relationships

You can do this short couples sequence with a partner or a friend with endless benefits of practicing together, including deepening poses, trust, compassion and understanding. Find a calm space where you both can feel relaxed and enjoy yourselves!

Forward Fold & Heart Opener

Begin sitting back to back with your partner, as close to eachother as possible. 

Forward fold: Begin to fold forwards over the legs coming into a forward fold as your partner follows your movement backwards coming into a chest opener. Your legs can be as bent as they need to be and only fold forwards as much as feels comfortable. 

Heart opener: As you fold over your partner only relax and use as much body weight as your partner is okay with.  Communicate with eachother as you get into the pose, making sure both of you are comfortable. 

Close your eyes and remain in the pose from five breaths up to a couple of minutes before you switch positions. 

Twist & Meditation

Twist Bend in the legs coming into a comfortable crosslegged position. Begin to come into a twist to the right as you support each other back to back to keep the spine as straight as possible. Place your left hand on your right knee and your right hand on your partners knee. Remain in the twist from five deep breaths up to a couple of minutes before twisting to the other side. 

Meditation Support eachothers posture as you close your eyes and bring your awareness inwards. You can set an alarm for how long you wish to meditate, from five minutes up to twenty. Increasing  compassion and presence in your relationship.

Namaste

My soul honors your soul. I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. 

I honor the light, love, truth, beauty and peace within you, because it is also within me. 

In sharing these things we are also united, we are the same. 

We are one.
