4 Ways Yoga Can Help with Relationships

The popularity of yoga is on the rise in the United States. It’s estimated there are about 37 Million yoga participants in the United States and that figure should rise to 55 million by 2020. With the rapid popularity of yoga, many who haven’t tried yoga or don’t do it on a regular basis may not realize all of the major benefits of participating in a yoga class. Many don’t realize that yoga is not just a solo activity, at PIES we have group classes so feel free to bring your family, friends or other loved one to a class.

Not only will you get to experience a great class with our certified instructors, but there are many other benefits of doing a yoga class that can improve your relationships.

Here are some of those benefits

Yoga Helps Reduce Stress & Tension – Stress is a big reason for some of the issues and unhealthy lifestyles that are in the US. In addition to helping with pain management and weight loss, did you know that going to a yoga class can greatly reduce your stress and tension. It can even be a huge boost to any stress or tension you might have in your relationship if you invite a friend, family member or coworker.

Yoga Helps Foster Closer Connections & Bonds – In addition to reducing stress, yoga also provides the opportunity create and foster a close connection and bond with friends, family or even coworkers. This could be a good way to develop deeper relationships and lifetime bonds with your significant other, someone you work with on an everyday basis or a good group activity with your friends. Especially when performing some the poses in couples yoga sessions, you must rely on and lean on your partner. This requires a deep level of trust, support and even vulnerability that can allow you to build a stronger bond or connection.

Yoga Improves Communication – Much of communication is non-verbal and the opportunity to work on different poses and connect with one another while you are performing different poses and breathing exercises can improve your communication between your friend or loved one.

Yoga Can Improve Intimacy & Sex Life – Couples yoga classes can help improve your intimacy and overall sex life. Studies have shown that yoga can enhance women’s sexuality and also help those that are struggling with sexual dysfunction.
