PARTNER YOGA!
In Partner Yoga one person is the giver, the other the receiver. The receiver is always in charge & relays information about how much/little support & depth they need. The giver needs to be receptive & in tune with the receivers non-verbal & verbal cues. Both participants will benefit by switching roles for each pose.
WHY PARTICIPATE?
Partner Yoga is an effective way to experience a sense of support & connection to one another. The assistance brings greater alignment awareness, depth & satisfaction to any yoga practice. * In the past we have had sisters, mothers, daughters, friends & couples join!
