Benefits of Partner Yoga and Essential Poses Before Bedtime
Benefits:
Energy:
- Partner yoga generates a magical energy, akin to the energy of love. The practice fosters the intersection and accumulation of powerful energy, leading to optimal self-cultivation effects.
Telepathy:
- Concentrating during yoga enhances sensitivity and a form of telepathy. Non-verbal expressions of love manifest through eye contact, embodying the legendary “telepathy” associated with love.
Trust:
- Mutual trust is a fundamental prerequisite for practicing partner yoga, even between lovers. It stands as one of life’s most precious treasures.
Attraction:
- Through intimate physical contact in ordinary moments, partner yoga allows a rediscovery of each other’s bodies and minds. It reignites the passion of love, enhancing attractiveness and intimacy.
Internal Stimulation (“sex”):
- While not a form of “sex” yoga, partner yoga stimulates internal organs, improves body sensitivity, and contributes to increased sexual charm and hormonal secretions.
