Physical activity combined with emotional cleansing is what yoga means. IN Lately such type of this practice as yoga in pairs became popular. Contrary to popular belief, this type of yoga can be practiced not only with your loved one, but also with friends, relatives and even colleagues. There is also couple yoga for beginners. In this article, we will look at what pair yoga is and where to start such a yoga challenge.
Where to begin?
Pair yoga for beginners at home implies complete relaxation, as well as the presence of loose clothing that will give you complete freedom of movement, as well as an exercise mat made exclusively from natural materials. If the partners do not have much experience in yoga, or it is completely absent, then it is better to perform the elements of paired yoga by watching video tutorials or at least a graphic guide.
Do not forget that yoga in pairs will be easy only when you tune in to the right mood, and special music will help you with this: mantras, classics or sounds of nature - it's up to you to decide. Before you start yoga, it is better to find photos of poses for pair yoga on the Internet.
Strengthening relationships is what couple yoga leads to. Where to start the practice is a difficult question, and we recommend that you attend classes with a trainer at least 2-3 times before starting pair yoga classes on your own. If you still feel that it is difficult for you to perform paired yoga figures, then hire a professional trainer for another 1-2 classes or sign up for a group.
After the session, you will feel that you have moved to a new level of relationship with your partner. A sense of security and comfort should appear, and trust will rise to a new level. However, you should avoid classes if a conflict is brewing in a relationship with a partner, because this will not lead to anything good.
Your mood before class should be upbeat, and feelings and emotions should not be overshadowed by anything. With your partner, you should be as comfortable as possible, and therefore, choosing a mate for yourself, be guided by how close your partner is to you. Pair yoga contains many complex elements, you should definitely study the photo poses for it before you start the exercises.
Couple yoga is a challenging practice for a couple that is worth it. Indeed, when performing asanas, you rely not only on yourself and listen not only to your body, but also pay attention to your partner. Confidence is what can be achieved by performing pair yoga asanas.
Such yoga, where two people fold asanas, may have several varieties:
- Both partners are active and perform equivalent paired elements.
- Active-passive yoga in pairs, where one of the participants is active, the second complements him, remaining passive.
- Acro yoga is a type of yoga in which one of the participants of the couple "flies" in the air. This type of yoga is based on fairly complex supports.
In order for your classes to bring you not only benefit, but also pleasure, follow these tips:
- Be sure to have a neat appearance.
- Watch your hygiene.
- Feel free to discuss with your partner all the nuances of the exercises. The main thing during classes is convenience and comfort, so ask your partner more often about his feelings.
- Yoga in pairs also implies a single performance of asanas before proceeding to group classes. A kind of rehearsal of asanas will help you avoid injuries and misunderstandings with your partner.
- Sharp movements in pair yoga are simply unacceptable. Teach your partner how you can move.
- Take care of your partner. You may have a different level of training, as well as different physical abilities. One partner may be a beginner while the other is a professional.
- In order for yoga classes to be as fruitful as possible, sometimes change roles.
- If you decide on acro yoga, then we advise you to include a third person in your couple who will insure what “flies”.
- Proper breathing is the main element. Be sure to breathe properly even though you are doing the poses in pairs. Synchronization of inhalations and exhalations with a partner is what you should ideally achieve.
Asana for two
Asanas
Pairs for beginners are based on basic elements, sharpened for pairing. Let's consider the most basic of them.
Ardha matsyendrasana
To perform this figure, partners need to sit with their backs to each other and straighten their legs as much as possible. The first participant bends the right leg and brings it through the left leg. The foot of the right leg should be placed near the knee of the left. The left leg should also be bent afterwards, its heel should be brought to the buttock.
The second participant must do the same. The first participant must raise the left arm up and turn the body in the opposite direction. The left elbow should be placed behind the knee of the right leg, with the other hand clasping the knee of the left leg. The second participant does the same. In this position, you need to carry out 4-6 respiratory cycles, then repeat the exercise, but in the other direction.
Pashchimottanasana
The first participant sits with his legs straight. You need to lean forward and try to reach your toes with your palms. The second participant should lie on his back to the first, straightening his arms back and the first participant should cover his palms with his own. Remain in this position for 4-6 cycles, then the participants should change places.
Bike
Paired yoga movements necessarily include such an element as a bicycle. Partners should sit facing each other and perform the “bicycle” exercise, while touching each other with their feet.
Leg tilts
Participants should sit facing each other and spread their legs so that they can touch each other's feet. Partners should bend down so as to touch the forehead of the knee first with the left leg, then with the right. The exercise should be performed for at least 1 minute.
Bridge
Participants should sit facing each other and hold hands. Partners bring their feet together and raise their legs, while they continue to hold hands. Asana is designed for 4-6 respiratory cycles.
