Our partners are there for us everyday. Things like grocery shopping, emptying the dishwasher and fixing the car may not seem romantic, but you’re a team.
“Yoga Date Night” is about reconnecting with your partner on a deep and pure level. Isn’t it time to come back to honouring and cherishing?
Each yoga pose will involve gently supporting and being supported by your partner. Simple things like sitting back to back and feeling each other breathe or balances that can become easier with your partner’s aid. You don’t have to be an expert… any level of experience is fine.
Doesn’t a room full of candles, nice music and trying something new together sound like a nice alternative to the old couch routine? A yoga mat, an open heart and a sense of humour are the only tools you’ll need for this journey. Come join us!
