Yoga with a Friend book coverYoga with a Friend

Develop trust, communication, strength, and compassion when you practice yoga with a partner

Practice this unique form of yoga where you and your partner work together to accomplish creative and challenging poses. Your partner can be your friend, roommate, spouse, life partner, sibling, parent, child, or anyone else whose company you enjoy.

In Yoga with a Friend you will learn breathing techniques to facilitate tranquility together, and partner poses that develop trust and mutual support. You will develop strong non-verbal communication skills as you work together to achieve balance. You will amaze yourselves as you accomplish the poses.

Along with poses and breathing techniques, you will learn some great visualizations and meditation techniques. You will also be introduced to yoga philosophy and understand how to apply yoga lifestyle guidelines to your various relationships. In Yoga with a Friend we hope to share this fun, challenging, and deeply rewarding practice with you.

The breathing exercises will teach you to breathe steadily during physical exertion, which will keep you calm and rational under water. The visualization techniques will help you prepare mentally for dive challenges. You will also learn yoga principles, such as non-violence, and how they apply to scuba divers.
