This Valentine's lesson plan is filled with partner yoga exercises.
Partner yoga is good for cultivating “love” because it: enhances communication (involves listening to your partner’s verbal and non-verbal cues), deepens the connection between the two of you, and is also a lot of fun. And because partner yoga helps to deepen the effects of yoga poses, you’ll both be more flexible, which will make you better in the love-making department. So, what’s not to love about partner yoga?
There are some heart-opening poses: Upward-Facing Dog Pose, Supine Star Pose, Camel With Namaste Hands Pose, and Standing Backbend Pose. There are some pelvic floor exercises to help with love-making: Bridge Pose, Squat Pose, and Reclined Bound Angle Pose.
