This is possibly one of the most fundamental and traditional poses in Yoga. All you have to do is stand with your feet together, maintain the natural curve in your spine, palms facing the insides, and draw your shoulder-blades away from your ears. This pose helps to improve posture and balance, strengthens your legs and core muscles, and helps in increasing the energy levels.
Tree Pose (Vrikshasana)
If you are looking to strengthen your body, improve your balance and flexibility, then the Tree pose is ideal for your couple bonding. This can be done by first standing in a Mountain pose and focusing on one particular point. Then, you can proceed to lifting one foot of your partner and placing it on the inner thigh of the other partner. Your palms should then be clasped together and you should proceed to lean in slowly and begin to balance.
Partner Boat Pose (Paripurna Navasana)
This pose is perfect for the couple who are looking to get a good waist, abdominal, and arm workout. You can begin this pose by sitting opposite your partner and stretching the legs out in front. Now, you both need to clasp the arms behind each other’s back, as this will help you to maintain the balance. Then, you both must need to bring your body up with your feet lifted off the ground and maintain this position for as long as you can.
