What is Couples Yoga Therapy?

What exactly is couples yoga therapy?

Well unlike regular couples therapy sessions. Couples yoga therapy is when two people in a relationship want to use a body-based approach to enriching or improving that relationship. Unlike talk therapy which relies on conversation to gain perspective, a somatic approach connects the mind and body. Allowing you to see your relationship from a new perspective, and gain new insights.

Another way to communicate

Communicating is all about sharing information and feelings.  In a session I direct embodied experience, you connect deeply with your body and with each other. You share any thoughts, feelings, and emotions that may come up. I will hold space for you both. And offer you the necessary tools to help you share your experience

What is a relationship?

A relationship is the coming together of two people, to form an “us”.  For a relationship to be strong it needs to be nurtured. 

You can feed your relationship with 

• Understanding
•  Love
• Communication

A relationship will struggle if

• You deprive it of love and understanding.

• You communicate poorly

• You are critical  of each other

• You show contempt

• You are defensive

• There is distance between you

Why should you try couples yoga therapy?

• You are together but you feel disconnected 

• There’s no sparkle  

• You don’t feel compatible

• You’ve both tuned out

• The relationship feels stuck

• You are putting issues on the back burner till your family/career/ needs are met

• You give excuses to avoid intimacy

• You want to enrich your already great relationship

What are the benefits?

We know from research that body-based work can decrease stress, reduce the symptoms of depression, and alleviate anxiety. The pairs yoga poses can enhance intimacy, improve your relationship and help cultivate compassion.

With a couples yoga therapy session you can

• Reconnect with your partner

• Rediscover intimacy 

• Find new ways to communicate

• Carve out “us” time

An embodied approach gives you a new way to examine the same problems and issues. It lets you shift your perspective and ultimately leads to powerful and healthy change.
