After the festival, do simple double yoga and enjoy the sweetness and intimacy of thinness

What is Double Yoga?

Double yoga, as the name suggests, involves two people participating in the practice of yoga movements. Through the coordination of breathing and movements, and borrowing each other's energy, they work together to complete the wonderful movements in tacit understanding. Breaking the "self-feeling" of traditional yoga, dual yoga focuses on the practice process of sharing and communicating with each other.

Double yoga is not only a combination of strength and beauty, but also stimulates the deep bones, muscles, internal organs, and nerves of the body. At the same time, it achieves the purpose of correcting crooked postures, strengthening the body, and correcting abnormal spine. It can also breathe through yoga. Oxygen is sent to each nerve and cell, activating the entire body system, and achieving the purpose of balancing the body.

Benefits of Double Yoga

Psychologists have found that exercising with friends is easier to feel relaxed and enjoyable than exercising alone. If friends or couples go to the gym together, they can be company and have a common language. They can also encourage and support each other during the fitness process.

Double yoga is the most suitable double exercise for friends and couples. In essence, it is the same as single yoga, except that it emphasizes more on two people working together to complete some yoga movements that cannot be performed or are difficult to achieve by a single person. Although each practitioner has different body size and flexibility, trust between each other is the most important condition for completing double yoga. In addition to awakening ourselves, dual yoga allows us to learn to share life with others.

1. Double yoga is different from love yoga

Many people hear about couples yoga and think it is love yoga or couple yoga, but it is not true. In Guangzhou, many yoga studios already offer double yoga courses. Double yoga can be for same-sex friends, couples, and parent-child yoga. Double yoga only emphasizes that two people work together to complete some yoga movements that are impossible or difficult to achieve by a single person.

2. Double yoga can increase pleasure

Yoga studios, which were rarely frequented by men before, have gained a lot of masculinity due to the emergence of double yoga. The biggest feeling that this kind of double yoga gives practitioners is pleasure. In particular, male students generally report that they will not be bored and do not have to be as serious and disciplined as practicing traditional yoga.

3. The difficulty is reduced but it is easy to persist

Yoga instructors believe that double yoga focuses on coordinated practice by two people. At the beginning, there may be more practice in posing, but in the long run, it has the advantage of being easy to adhere to, and you can also discover mistakes in your own movements in time. After long-term practice, the improvement of movement requirements is also an emerging difficulty.

4. Coordinate the relationship between the two parties

Double-person sports are especially about trust. Double-person yoga is a sport that cares for each other, which gives both parties a sense of intimacy. Once the two parties do not trust each other, they cannot coordinate and complete the movements.
