A very interesting yet less recognizable form of Yoga is Couples Yoga. Even people that have been doing Yoga on a regular basis for many years have never tried couples yoga. It is a very eye-opening experience, and there are many exercises throughout the 2-hour practice that are difficult. One is to stare directly into the eyes of your partner for 10 minutes and not talk, touch, or try to communicate anything to them. Just stare blankly at each other, become completely vulnerable and “be in the moment.”
Another exercise is to sit across from your partner, and be brutally honest with yourself and tell them three things that you are afraid of. Whether it be physical fear, something that may or may not happen in the future, or something that you have never told anyone before. This can be a very daunting task for some, but it also promotes self-realization and increased self-awareness.
At That’s Your Body, we encourage all activities that promote self-realization and increased awareness. We want you to be in-tune with your body, and understand what it’s needs are. Are you listening to your body? Make an appointment at Ocean Beach massage and let Gal put you in-touch.
