1. Partner Yoga Partner yoga can help you bring aware-

ness to your bodies and create an opportunity to move deeper in both your poses and your relationships. Through conscious breathing you will tune into each other’s flow and energy. Best part is that it requires touch and often trust.

Try It: Standing Back-bend: Stand

facing each other, feet hip-width apart and spaced so you can grab on to each other’s forearms with your arms slightly bent. Inhale lengthen your spine upward, lift the chest, then exhale and drop head gently backwards, looking to the ceiling or behind you and straightening arms supporting each other. Hold the pose for 2 to 3 breaths. Inhale, and return to standing. Find more Partner yoga poses Online or

find a workshop or class at your local yoga studio. Calories Burnt: Between 180 – 410 calories per 60 minutes, depending on your weight and intensity.
