Poses Romantic Couples are ways that couples can connect through couples yoga and couples meditation.  The aspirations of many who practice yoga  is to unite your finite self or limited-self within the bounds of your conscious mind with the Infinite Self where you feel at one with the ether of the universe. There’s no better way to enhance that journey than to practice yoga with your beloved or yoga for couples. It can be quite a deep emotional and very vulnerable experience so I don’t recommend doing this with someone you are just casually dating or planning to break up with.

ABC News, recently covered how yoga enhances Intimacy and your sex life on ABC Nightline and their Health blog. Watch this video below from ABC Nightline (30 second commercials plays first)

Sexuality and spirituality are not mutually exclusive.  The ancient yogis understood that a worshipful attitude towards your partner created a chemical change in your brain that allowed for the experience of bliss in meditation or yoga. ABC News mentioned two yoga products “The science of yoga” by William Broad and a three part DVD set “Better sex through Yoga” by Jacquie Noelle.

Most yoga classes are very internally focused and you come, lay down your mat and almost avoid eye contact with the people around you and even the teacher.  Most students never get to know the people next to them and are content to be completely immersed in their inner world during a yoga class.

Yoga does hold a myriad of benefits in terms of improved stamina, vigor, flexibility, relief from aches and pain, fatigue that can get in the way of intimacy.  When your body is free from pain, stiffness, tension, tightness and your are more freed up energetically, then there is more space in your head, heart and body for intimacy.Partner Yoga

In poses romantic couples classes and meditations, there is an emphasis on being present to your partner’s presence, breath, intention, movement and to be accepting of any limitations and levels of flexibility.  Some poses that you can do are sitting back to back and just becoming present to the rise and fall of your breath and your partner’s breath.  Then you try to synchronize your breathing pattern with your partner’s  breathing pattern.

Another exercise to try is to monitor your own heart beat and then start to notice your partner’s heartbeat.  See if you can synchronize your heartbeat with the heartbeat of your partner.  Exercises like these encourage partners to be sensitive and in tune with their significant other’s rhythms and they start to function and exist as one entity instead of two separate entities.

Men are often astounded how doing simple exercises like this can lead to profound insights they can have about themselves, their partner and their relationships.  In doing this type of work, it is critical to set up an environment where people feel safe and protected since men are not as  accustomed to being vulnerable, especially in a public setting.  Having soft music, low lighting, making sure there are no disruptions such as people coming into the room or cell phones going off is paramount.

This feeling of oneness is what leads to bonding and intimacy which makes the physical act of love a natural extension from this kinesthetic bonding that occurs in poses romantic couples classes and meditation exercises.  You start to drop into almost a trance and you get so attuned to your partner that you almost feel at one with the ether of the universe at this point.   Being in these kinds of alterered or alpha states can bring people into deep levels of consciousness and people start to go on a deep inner journey getting them in contact with their deep inner wisdom.
