Beginner Yoga Classes held at Manayunk Studio, 3901 Main St.,2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19127
Yoga for couples is a fun adventure into intimacy, play and relaxation. The poses are simply a doorway for you both to step deeper into your connection. When you stretch with you partner, your bodies melt each other’s tension and tightness. Whether your relationship is new or old, partner yoga will reinvigorate your life and renew your connection.
Partner Yoga is a great way to learn surrender, build trust, and deepen intimacy. Partner Yoga can be practiced by anyone - no previous yoga experience is necessary. If you have never done partner yoga before, it is both meaningful and fun, and people say that they feel more open-hearted and alive afterwards. Come with your significant other or a good friend. Yoga experience is not a prerequisite to this class, although a bit of yoga would be helpful, but all levels of experience are welcome with an open mind and willing heart. Be willing to be silly and remind yourself that this is Yoga Practice, not Yoga Perfect.
Some poses challenge your balance, strength and flexibility, others require your total trust and surrender. Each exercise and breathing technique uses the power of the partner dynamic to achieve more than one person could alone. From creative exercise to profound spiritual work, Partner Yoga delivers a diverse range of benefits to a wide array of people. This well rounded practice requires no special equipment and can be done in any open space (the living room, gym, or park).

The classes are not vigorous workouts and do not have pilates or advanced yoga poses. The yoga poses are suitable for all body types and fitness levels.
All of the classes are done fully clothed and with poses suitable for all couples. The classes are emotionally intimate and will open partner up to a level of vulnerability they may not have experienced before. For this reason, we do not recommend this class as a first date. The classes are more suited for new or established couples.
What happens during a class? The classes are divided up into three segments The first segment will be a time for couples and partners to ground, center and get into a quiet, meditative space while synchronizing their breath and energy with their partner while do some slow and simple yoga poses. The second part of the class is more active and many of the poses will be standing and balancing and the partners will build up a bit more heat and movement in the body. The third part of the class the couple will be instructed and shown how to do beginner, basic relaxing massage techniques on the hands, feet, arms and legs. Often people are so relaxed that they fall asleep during this part of the yoga class which is a healthy sign that the person is enjoying the massage and is relaxed. We end the class in a relaxation (shivasana) pose for five minutes before we end the class.
Partners and Couples should wear yoga or workout clothes that can stretch and be comfortable in. In winter, it is a good idea to bring socks and a sweatshirt in case you get cold easily. Yoga students will not be wearing shoes during the class.
It is recommended to not eat two hours before the class. If you must eat something before the class, eat something light that you can digest easily such as a substantial salad.
After the yoga class, you might feel vulnerable, meditative or tranquil. In order to continue to remain in this calm, connected state, we recommend that you plan on having a quiet, silent, relaxing evening afterwards, avoiding TV, loud, fast music, working at the office, computers and even keeping your cell phone turned off if you can.
This is not hot yoga or heated yoga. The room is nice and cool in summer but also comfortably warm in winter. Couples that are looking for romance, a unique date night or a beautiful, romantic way to reconnect or connect.
