partner up!
valentine's day is one of those hallmark card days when couples bend over backwards trying to find new and inventive ways to spend quality time with each other -- at home, in a restaurant, or maybe even in the great outdoors.
of course, there's no reason why that bending over backwards can't be done in a yoga studio, which is why more and more of these studios offer partner yoga classes as a date option for valentine's day.
i've been scouring emails and facebook pages for partner yoga workshops coming up this week. while it might be more fun to get all touchy-feely with someone you already feel comfortable with, most classes just ask that you be open and willing to pair up with someone you may have never seen before -- and seriously, how bad can a fellow yogi be?
here's the list i've come up with so far. not all of them will be held on valentine's day; in fact, most of them are this weekend. so scan through this list, reserve your spot to make sure you don't get closed out, and have fun!

The perfect Valentine's gift to yourself... Nourish your whole being in the first of our Chakra Series with Reiki Master & yogini, Seda Gungor Aksut.
Join us for a 2 hour yoga & meditation workshop that will open the chakras and leave you suffused with love. Very special Kundalini yoga exercises will open the practice, followed by a guided heart chakra meditation. This transformational journey will conclude with an energizing (11 minute) guided "big white ball of light" meditation empowering and aligning all of the chakras and Sivasana with healing hands...
The heart is the center for "real" happiness. When the heart chakra is healthy and open, our life force steadily flows through our body. This is where we neutralize anger and hurt. People with an open and balanced heart chakra have natural warmth, they open up other people's hearts, they attract other people like honey to bees. Their emotions don't jump all over, they are more easily able to stay away from doubt and conflict. When this chakra isn't healthy, people are dependent on "other people" for love. They are sensitive and easily hurt. They want to give love but they are afraid of being rejected or hurt.

Whenever you sing or pray from heart, it will be timeless, spaceless and absolutely effective. It works.
Let your heart become the Temple of Gold.
Please join us for a bountiful, beautiful and blissful heart-felt Kundalini Yoga and Meditation evening. This incredible class will be dedicated to the Infinite Power of the heart. Yummy treats will be served after class.

Performed on a floor mat, both practitioner and client move through four traditional positions; front, back, side and seated. Practiced in meditative and dance-like movements, Thai Massage oxygenates the blood, improves circulation, increases joint flexibility, massages internal organs, reduces stress, increases energy and facilitates mind/body/spirit balance.

The perfect Valentine's gift to yourself... Nourish your whole being in the first of our Chakra Series with Reiki Master & yogini, Seda Gungor Aksut.
Join us for a 2 hour yoga & meditation workshop that will open the chakras and leave you suffused with love. Very special Kundalini yoga exercises will open the practice, followed by a guided heart chakra meditation. This transformational journey will conclude with an energizing (11 minute) guided "big white ball of light" meditation empowering and aligning all of the chakras and Sivasana with healing hands...
The heart is the center for "real" happiness. When the heart chakra is healthy and open, our life force steadily flows through our body. This is where we neutralize anger and hurt. People with an open and balanced heart chakra have natural warmth, they open up other people's hearts, they attract other people like honey to bees. Their emotions don't jump all over, they are more easily able to stay away from doubt and conflict. When this chakra isn't healthy, people are dependent on "other people" for love. They are sensitive and easily hurt. They want to give love but they are afraid of being rejected or hurt.
