partner yoga to enhance the senses

The physical sensations We experience them through the senses. But often our minds are so busy with judgments, thoughts, fears, and rushes that they don’t let us hear this information. Practicing yoga as a couple helps us to awaken the sensesexercising them.

Enhance smell. You can start with the smell. Perceive the smells and try to identify them, describe if they are fresh, heavy, sweet, floral, sour… Observe the temperature of the air in your nostrils, try to perceive the texture of the smell and your reactions.work the touch . Concentrate on the texture of the things you touch, the sensations of the clothes against your body, the wind on your skin, the water on your hands, go through your body from time to time observing the sense of touch in every millimeter. The tongue against the teeth, the socks on the ankles, the space between the fingers.Proceed with sight, hearing and taste in the same way. Taste the food, observe its texture and temperature; concentrate on the sounds that reach you and try to define their origin, distance, volume. Stop at the colors of the space you are in, look at the details, in the shape of the treetops or the buildings, look as if you were discovering everything for the first time.

You have unnumbed and activated your senses and now you can apply this to your intimate couple experience. Choose a sensation to focus on and observe it well. The breathing, the sounds, the intensity of the light, the texture of the skin, the smell, the temperature… and you don’t want to run to another, stay in it.

before doing partner yoga

As previous step To practice yoga as a couple, it is necessary to balance sexual energy. Practice this sequence of 3 asanas alone or with a partner before you start to achieve it:

1. The mountain

Standing, feet together and toes spread, ankles touching; he contracts the thighs, tilts the pelvis, tucks in the navel, lifts the sternum, and rotates the shoulders back. It grows towards the sky by the crown; chin towards the throat.

2. Root yourself

Focus on your feet, imagine that you have roots and feel how they hold you to the ground.

3. Lotus mudra

With the pinkies and thumbs of both hands touching, breathe to clear stagnant emotions:

Breathe in normally and pause. Take a full exhalation followed by a pause. Breathe out the air that remains. Breathe in and pause again. Do ten breath cycles in this way and relax.

Once your sexual energy is balanced, start with the asana of the goddess.
