::Essence of Yoga - Cultivating Partnerships::

Yoga is often thought of as an individual activity.  Sure, we om together, but beyond that, you are on your own.  However, partner yoga, which can practiced with a friend or partner, is rapidly gaining popularity.  It is a powerful way to build trust, improve communication, and promote affection in your interpersonal relationships.  With Valentine's Day around the corner, partner yoga workshops are abound.  Below are some of our top picks for this season:

OM Yoga - " Stretch your body exercise your mind and fine-tune your relationship All in only two hours! Partner yoga is designed for all levels and for anybody-no yoga experience necessary.  We will work mostly in pairs, sometimes in threes and even the whole class together.
