Camel Pose

Have one partner place their hands on the other partner’s lower back. Then the back partner leans back to lift the chest and arch the spine. Hold for five to ten breaths and repeat three times.

Balancing Tabletop

The balancing tabletop pose is a slight variation on regular tabletop stretching. Begin as if you were in traditional tabletop – both partners are on all fours, with their hips and shoulders aligned. Then, the partner in back places both hands on top of the partner in front’s feet, creating a triangle shape. Lean into the pose, pressing down on the feet with your hands, and hold for one minute.

Supported Fish Pose

The person in front will loosen their shoulder blades and tilt the chin towards the chest. The partner in back then places their palms on their front partner’s shoulder blades, gently pressing down. Hold this pose for three to five minutes, or until the front partner has finished their meditation.

These three yoga poses can help you and your partner free yourselves of stress. And if you’re both feeling relaxed, don’t forget to enjoy some lighthearted conversations afterwards!
