Partner Yoga is an activity with two practitioners, that is — the partners. Partner Yoga is sometimes also called Couples Yoga or Two-Persons Yoga.
In Partner Yoga, there are many types of yogic stretches, traction exercises, and yoga poses (called asanas in yoga) involved, and the couple works together to physically support and adjust each other.


Because the couple helps each other, the practice allows for deeper stretches and different kinds of poses, which otherwise would be difficult or even impossible to achieve alone.
Partner Yoga is often used as medium for building increased communication, trust, and intimacy in any kind of relationship, not only for partners in romantic, sexual, or sensual-intimate relationships. It can help bring people closer together, deepen love, and it is notably a suitable practice to reinforce relationships that go through hard times.
Partner Yoga actually has its roots in Tantric lineages. The idea behind it is that Partner Yoga, seen as a form of intimate touch, embraces the philosophy of using a relationship or partnership as a technique for awakening to our true nature. Hence, in the Tantric approach Partner Yoga is rather seen as a spiritual practice.
