What makes partner yoga different?

Partner yoga, also known as acro-yoga or couple’s yoga, combines the benefits of traditional yoga with the dynamics of collaboration and mutual support. It’s a practice that transcends boundaries and encourages a deeper connection between partners, whether friends, family members, or romantic partners.

You can’t practice partner yoga alone

With two or more individuals working together to explore and boost their yoga practice, partner yoga engages practitioners in a series of poses and movements that are performed with the assistance and support of a partner. Together, you’ll explore the art of balance, learn to rely on each other’s help, and discover new ways to enhance your connection.

Partner yoga involves practices from disciplines outside of traditional yoga

Unlike traditional yoga, which is primarily focused on individual postures and breathwork, partner yoga incorporates elements of trust, communication, and collaboration. The practice can combine elements of yoga, acrobatics, Thai massage, and therapeutic touch to create a harmonious and connected experience.

By participating in Yoga Holmes’ online partner yoga classes, you’ll not only experience physical benefits such as improved strength, flexibility, and body awareness, but you’ll also cultivate a deeper sense of trust, communication, and connection with your partner.

The benefits of partner yoga classes

When you practice partner yoga, you can look forward to many benefits, such as:

• Strengthened connections — Partner yoga deepens the bond between individuals as they engage in shared movement, trust-building exercises, and mutual support. It builds a sense of connection, empathy, and understanding between partners.
• Enhanced communication — Partner yoga requires clear, concise, and effective communication. Practitioners learn to actively listen, express their needs, and provide feedback to their partners. This cultivates improved communication skills both on and off the mat.
• Increased trust — Partner yoga builds trust between individuals as they rely on each other for support, flow, movement, and balance. You can develop a sense of trust and vulnerability by letting go of fear and surrendering to your partner’s assistance. It’s an amazing bonding experience. 
• Physical and emotional support — Practicing partner-assisted movements and poses allows for deeper stretches, increased flexibility, and improved alignment. Partners can provide physical support, helping each other achieve more challenging poses and exploring new dimensions of movement.
• Improved body awareness — Partner yoga enhances body awareness by requiring you to be mindful of your movements and your partner’s positioning. This deepened understanding leads to improved proprioception and a better understanding of one’s body in space. 
• Joy and playfulness — Partner yoga injects an element of playfulness and joy into the practice. It encourages laughter, exploration, and a lighthearted approach to movement, fostering a positive and uplifting experience.
• Strengthened physicality — Couple’s yoga can enhance physical strength, core stability, and balance. The practice often incorporates elements of acrobatics, challenging the body to engage muscles in unique and dynamic ways.
• Stress reduction — Partner yoga provides an opportunity to disconnect from daily stressors and enter a realm of relaxation. The practice of synchronized breathwork and shared presence promotes a calming and meditative experience.
• Self-growth and empowerment — Couple’s yoga encourages individuals to step outside their comfort zones and embrace new challenges. It nurtures self-confidence, self-esteem, and personal growth as practitioners expand their physical and emotional boundaries.
• Connection with a community — Partner yoga often creates a sense of community and belonging. You can connect with others who share similar interests and values, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.
