SOME REASONS TO JOIN ME:

• If your mind just jumped to, no, not for me, my back will hurt, my mind will race and that will cause me to judge myself a failure, I'd last about 3 minutes and this workshop lasts for 75, meditation is for those who know how to tune into their still side.... (breathe...)
• If you think meditation is for those who are already on the road to enlightenment...then, you must come.
• If you take pleasure in being surrounded by candles and soft music...then, you must come.
• If you already have a set meditation practice but want to be engulfed in an abundance of meditational energy...then, you must come.
• If you think meditation can only be seated, stoically, quietly, uncomfortably...then, you must come.

We will learn how to find a comfortable seat together and what that even means.
We will explore options in meditation so you can find a path of focus that works for you.
And I will attempt to guide you into a realm of space that is still...quiet...spiritually uplifting.
All you have to do...is come.

A form of Hatha yoga in which partners support each other in modified asana (yoga pose) sequences, partner yoga is an increasingly popular concept that's been interpreted in a variety of ways - from AcroYoga to Couples Yoga to Mom-and-Baby Yoga. Each offers a unique opportunity to relate deeply to another person - whether it's someone with whom you plan (or hope) to share your life, or a new friend you've just met in class. Working with a partner can also help you move beyond your own self-limiting ideas of what you can and can't do.

So come and explore the following:

• Connect in a revitalizing, strengthening, energizing and uplifting way
• Release stress and stiffness and tightness and tension.
• Explore playfulness, nurturing and buoyancy.
• Learn how to guide, honor, encourage, support and receive support from each other
• Yoga virgins, the stiff and inflexible are especially welcome

3 ways to get the right start in partner yoga:

1. Don't expect miracles. If you take a couples yoga class with an existing partner, talk with each other before going to the class about what you want from this. Try not to let your expectations get overblown in terms of how the class can remedy any specific relationship challenges you're having. Go in with an open mind and heart - not with a sense that this is going to fix something, but a willingness to learn and grow together by sharing and connecting through yoga.

2. Be ready to be giving. As a supportive partner, your role is to listen as well as share openly, and to treat the person you're practicing with as you'd like to be treated. Sound familiar? By exploring physical give-and-take, you and your partner can dive deeply into the principles that govern successful, supportive friendships and loving relationships.

3. Enjoy the moment. This class is appropriate for those with a regular yoga practice looking to explore in a new way, and also for those that are completely new to yoga. Bring your spouse, significant other, friend, neighbor, family member, an open mind and a playful heart.
