Yoga positions in two: 5 exercises to fall in love more
It is now well known that Yoga is good for you: it is a discipline that not only helps the body to strengthen and tone itself, but also brings enormous benefits to the mind. That it is also good for life as a couple, however, is less known.
Yoga for two, also called acroyoga, is certainly a fun and useful practice to strengthen your body and enhance your fitness level, but also to bring the rate of complicity and trust in a couple to the stars. Practicing it with your partner could be an all-encompassing experience, in which to synchronize your breath and thoughts, increasing the strength of your love.
There are many positions suitable for Yoga for two, some basic simpler and others more complicated ... let's look at 5 together. Because learning to know each other, to love each other and to "touch" each other with body and mind is fundamental, as this couple reminds us:
1. Yoga for two: synchronized breathing
To begin this Yoga session for two, spread out your mat and sit back to back, cross-legged (as shown in the following photo). Concentrate on the sensations that this contact with your partner gives you, feel his breath, his rhythm and fully experience the depth of this moment of couple meditation.
Gradually, tune your breath to your partner's, until you are in sync. You will immediately feel more united and in harmony with yourself, with each other and with the world around you.
After experiencing this synchronized breathing for a few minutes, stretch your legs and raise your arms flexing forward as you blow the air out. Your partner, meanwhile, will drop his weight back onto your back. Breathe together for a few seconds in this position, then reverse the roles, reproducing the same poses so that you can experience the same sensations in turn.
2. Stretchings towards each other in Yoga for two
To better get into the practice of yoga as a couple, here is another position to be performed on the ground and in an extremely simple way.
The pose does not require much effort: sit on your mat, facing each other with your legs extended and apart, placing the soles of your feet against each other. Inhale and lift your arms. Exhale and flex your torso forward, grasping yourselves. Hands Maintain this position by breathing deeply and concentrating solely and exclusively on meditation.
Play in this position by leaning towards each other. The hand-to-hand contact, exactly as in the photo below, will make you feel more united than ever and will bring important benefits to your complicity as a couple!
3. Virabhadrasana, the position of the warrior in Yoga in two
The third position that we show you is the one re-taught by the couple in the photo below. It is one of the most choreographic poses in yoga and is better known as Virabhadrasana, or the warrior position, to be performed both alone and in pairs.
Stand both of you with your legs apart, with one foot in contact with your partner's on the outside. Rotate the other foot 90 degrees outward and, immediately after, bend the leg corresponding to the level of the knee, until the thigh is parallel to the floor.
Raise your arms to shoulder height and grasp your wrist gently and gently. Maintain the position. At the end of the exercise, you will not only reap fitness benefits, but you will also distinctly feel a sense of security and mutual support that will make your life as a couple is further harmonized.
4. Front bird: flying position for Yoga for two
All ready to fly? Thanks to the discipline of yoga and, in particular, to the exercise in the photo below, it will be possible! To start, make sure you have a mat close at hand. Then have your partner lie down with your legs bent and feet parallel resting on the bones of the When you have found the point of balance, your partner will lift you by flexing your legs and bringing you towards him until, keeping your body straight, you will not take your feet off the ground.
In assuming this pose, your partner will have to try to stretch your legs and align your feet with your hips to form a right angle. You, on the other hand, will have to keep the abdominal and leg muscles taut.
This position also requires and increases the confidence in the couple and the sense of balance and centering of your body.
5. The Straddle Throne position in Yoga for two
To perform the Straddle Throne position as in the photo, have your partner lie down on the mat, then approach him standing up, letting him stretch his legs towards you to gradually lift you up.
The partner will bend one leg while you lift the corresponding one, opening it outwards. The partner, at that point, will place the foot under your thigh, at the height of the knee. It is important that you find the right spot to keep yourself in balance. You will hook your foot to your partner's calf, shifting your weight to the other leg. Tighten your abdominal muscles to lift yourself, distributing the weight evenly and keeping your torso straight.
It is certainly not an easy position and perhaps it is more suitable for couples who are more experienced in yoga and fitness, but it will undoubtedly help you to work on your balance and on the sense of mutual trust that is the basis of a healthy life as a couple.
The positions of yoga certainly do not end there. This discipline based on balance (internal and external) and on meditation, provides different and innumerable poses, each suitable for different levels of experience and physical elasticity. So, you just have to evaluate yours and continue experimenting with your partner to feel fit and, above all, to increase the couple's affinity!
