• Workshop: Pratiyogita Partner Yoga

  Day: TBA Duration: 90 Location: Warriors Way (Intention Tree)

  In Pratiyogita Yoga we discover a feeling of Union by establishing a deep connection to a partner, physically realizing the interconnectedness between us and all creatures, and ultimately between us and all of creation. Pratiyogita is Sanskrit for partnership and Yoga is often translated to mean Union, thus in this practice we find Union through partnership.
  
  In this rich, nourishing practice of duo asana, basic partner stretches and luscious Thai Massage techniques, we learn about trusting, supporting and evolving with each other. Together we experience increased presence, acute mindfulness, emotional intelligence and open-heartedness.Every encounter established within this yoga practice, whether hilarious or holy, awkward or divine, is a precious exchange and increases our capacity to give and receive.
  
  Pratiyogita Yoga is open to all levels of experience, even to those who have never practiced yoga before. It can be practiced anywhere, even on the edges of the dance floor or in the middle of a field. Sitting down to a mini stretch session with a partner, in between periods of furious dancing and outrageous adventuring, can do miracles to refresh the body, relieve soreness and pain and promote mental clarity and calmness.
  
  Dive into this deeply relaxing practice and experience the soul-stirring connection that is fostered by the compassionate touch, alignment of breath and intrinsic trust found in partner yoga exercise.
