  • Duo Yoga - Rooted in Connection, Grounded in Therapeutics

    Join us for a unique and accessible duo yoga workshop that focuses on grounded asanas, offering a therapeutic and playful approach for all levels and ages. In this workshop, both partners will stay primarily on the ground—no flying or acrobatic moves—creating a safe and nurturing space for connection, alignment, and fun.

    What to Expect:

    • Grounded Partner Work: Explore the dynamics of duo yoga with an emphasis on connecting through shared ground poses. Learn to trust and support each other in therapeutic ways while staying close to the floor.

    • Therapeutic Approach: Focus on proper alignment, mindful adjustments, and biomechanic understanding to improve posture and body awareness, creating a balanced, injury-free practice.

    • Connection & Play: Enjoy fun and engaging yoga games designed to strengthen trust, enhance communication, and build deeper connections with your partner.

    • Asana Corrections & Alignment: Receive guidance on how to correct each other’s poses to maintain healthy alignment, with personalized adjustments tailored to your body type and needs.

    • Creative Exploration: Tap into your creativity by exploring new double and triple asanas. This session encourages you to experiment with different poses, discovering new ways to move together while building strength and flexibility.

    • Group Interaction: Explore group-based asanas and cooperative poses, cultivating a sense of community while working with multiple partners in a dynamic, supportive environment.

    • Biomechanics of Duo Asanas: Understand how to approach double poses with a focus on balance, symmetry, and body mechanics. Learn how small adjustments can drastically improve the stability and effectiveness of your duo practice.

    • Deep Connection: Beyond physical practice, we will focus on the emotional connection between partners. By tuning into each other’s breath, energy, and body language, we create a deeply harmonious and mindful yoga experience.

    This workshop is suitable for all levels, from beginners to experienced yogis, and participants of all ages. No prior experience with duo yoga or acro yoga is necessary—just bring your curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to connect with others in a playful and supportive environment.

    By the end of the workshop, you’ll leave feeling more connected to yourself and your partner, with a deeper understanding of alignment, trust, and how to work together to enhance your yoga practice. Join us for a day of grounding, play, and therapeutic healing through duo yoga!
