Couple Yoga Poses

INTRODUCTION

Yoga means the union of your mind, body, and spirit. It allows you to grow and learn. Relationships are like that; if you work on your relationships, it will also help you learn and grow. Nowadays, everyone is so busy on their phones, and this can create communication gaps in the long run. Exercise is a great way to build a bond between you and your partner. It increases the attraction between them. Couple yoga is also a great way to strengthen your relationship with your partner.

7 Couple Yoga Poses

Couple yoga is a form of yoga that is designed in such a way that it builds communication and trust between partners. Yoga sequences are designed in such a way that they help bridge the gaps between couples with the help of breath, touch, and intimacy. So let’s take a look at a couple of yoga poses.

01. Back-to-back partner breathing

● Sit in a cross-legged position and rest your backs and hands on each other.

● Now practice alternate breathing with your partner.

● You will exhale when he inhales, and vice versa.

It will improve your breathing and mindfulness and also build a connection with your partner.
