While many people enjoy practicing yoga alone, it can be even more fun when done with a significant other. There are plenty of poses that you and your partner can do to not only help you both stay fit but also to help you grow closer together. These six sexiest (and most intimate) moves will help you spice up your practice and help you get closer to your partner.

Cat and Cow Pose
Cat and Cow Pose is a gentle, flowing yoga pose that helps warm the body and prepare it for more challenging poses. It’s an excellent way to stretch out your spine, open up your chest, and increase flexibility in your hips.
To begin this pose, start on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and knees below your hips. As you inhale deeply, arch your back like a cat stretching its spine upward while lifting the chin slightly towards the ceiling. On the exhale, bring the belly button down towards the floor as you round out the back like a cow stretching its neck downward. Repeat this movement several times until you feel comfortable with it.
As you become more experienced with Cat and Cow Pose, try adding some variations, such as lifting one arm or leg off of the ground at a time while maintaining balance on both sides of the body or bringing one hand to meet the opposite elbow for an added twist in each direction (right-hand meets left elbow then switch). This will help deepen spinal movements by engaging additional muscles throughout different parts of your body, including core strength from stabilizing yourself during these transitions between poses.
Standing Forward Bend
Standing Forward Bend is an excellent pose for yogis of all levels. It helps open up the hips and lower back while providing a gentle massage for the spine. This pose can help to relax the mind and body while also providing an excellent stretch for the legs.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and arms by your sides. Reach your arms above your head on an inhale as you lengthen through your spine. On an exhale, hinge at the hips as you fold towards the ground until you feel a comfortable stretch in your hamstrings and lower back. Keep both legs straight throughout this movement but don’t lock out either knee joint; keep them slightly bent if necessary to avoid strain on any part of the body. You may want to place blocks or pillows underneath each hand if it feels too intense on any part of your body or if you cannot touch down comfortably onto the floor without rounding through your upper back or shoulders.
Once in position, allow yourself to be still here for five deep breaths before slowly coming out of it when ready – using an inhale to lift from this posture. Next, bring one vertebra at a time into alignment with another until standing upright again with arms reaching overhead before releasing them down by their sides again upon completing this sequence/pose/asana practice session.
This pose can also be beneficial physically and mentally, allowing us time away from our screens (if possible) while stretching out those tight muscles working hard all day long. In addition, the Standing Forward Bend allows us some much-needed space within our bodies to reset ourselves after hours spent hunched over desks typing away at emails, helping to realign our spines and mindsets alike.
Downward Facing Dog
Downward Facing Dog is a classic yoga pose that yogis of all levels can practice. It stretches out the entire body and helps to strengthen muscles, improve balance, and increase flexibility in the spine.
To get into this pose, start on your hands and knees with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips. Spread your fingers wide apart as you press firmly through both palms. Tuck toes under while lifting onto the balls of feet, then lift hips towards the ceiling while pressing chest towards thighs. Keep legs straight but not locked; bend knees if needed for comfort or to deepen the stretch in hamstrings or calves. Ensure your tailbone is pointing toward the floor while keeping your back flat instead of curved or arched too much; relax your neck and look between hands if comfortable doing so. Hold for five breaths before slowly returning to starting position on hands and knees again.
This pose can also be used as an intimate connection between partners during partner yoga practice sessions. To do this variation, have one person assume a downward facing dog position at one end of the mat with their partner standing at the other end facing them; reach arms forward until fingertips meet those of their partner, then hold each other’s gaze for several breaths before either returning to solo practice or continuing with another partnered posture such as Warrior I Pose together.
When practicing Downward Facing Dog, it is essential to keep the core engaged throughout the entire movement, from the beginning until the end. This will help ensure proper form, maximizing the benefits of this pose. Also, make sure not to lock elbows when extending arms forward nor lock knees when stretching legs backward; keep these joints slightly bent instead so they remain safe throughout the practice session.
Bridge Pose
Bridge Pose is a great way to open up the chest and shoulders while strengthening core muscles and improving posture. Depending on your preference, it can be done with or without a partner. To do Bridge Pose alone, start by lying down on your back with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart, and arms resting alongside your body. Inhale as you press into your feet to lift the hips off the ground towards the ceiling, allowing for an opening in both the chest and shoulders. Hold this pose for five seconds before slowly releasing it back onto the mat.
For those looking to practice Bridge Pose with a partner, have one person lie down in their bridge position while their partner stands behind them, facing away from them at shoulder width distance. The standing partner then places their hands lightly on either side of their partners’ hips before inhaling deeply as they help guide them upwards into bridge pose using gentle pressure from their hands. Once they reach full extension, hold this pose for five breaths before slowly lowering back down together onto the mat.
This pose helps build strength throughout all areas of our bodies, especially in our core muscles, improving overall posture over time when practiced regularly. Additionally, it can be used as an intimate experience between two people that will leave you feeling relaxed yet energized after each session.
Reclined Bound Angle Pose
Reclined Bound Angle Pose, also known as Supta Baddha Konasana, is a beautiful yoga pose for yogis of all levels. It’s a gentle and relaxing posture that helps to open up the hips while providing a deep massage for both partners’ backsides. This sensual pose can help to relax tight muscles and increase blood flow throughout the body.
Start by sitting in Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana) to begin this pose. Then slowly lower your back onto the floor or mat with your knees bent and feet together. Place your hands on either side with palms facing up towards the sky. Make sure your spine is long and straight from head to tailbone, keeping your chin tucked into the chest if needed.
You can deepen the stretch from here by bringing each knee outwards towards its respective shoulder until it touches it lightly. You should feel an opening sensation in both hips at this point; if not, adjust accordingly until you do. Once comfortable in this position, stay here for several breaths before releasing back into Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana).
This restorative yoga pose can be beneficial when practiced regularly due to its calming effects on both mind and body alike. Not only does it relieve physical tension, but it also helps reduce stress levels by allowing us to take time away from our daily lives to relax deeply within ourselves – something we could all use more of these days. Additionally, Reclined Bound Angle Pose has been known to improve digestion and stimulate circulation throughout our bodies which leads us to feel energized after practice rather than drained like other forms of exercise might leave us feeling afterward.
Supported Fish Pose
Supported Fish Pose, or Supta Matsyendrasana, is a restorative yoga pose that can be used to relax after an intense yoga session. It helps open up tight shoulders, neck, and chest while calming down any anxious thoughts or feelings during practice.
To begin the pose, start by lying on your back with your arms at your sides and palms facing upwards. Next, bend both knees and bring them towards your chest as you draw the navel towards the spine. Take a few deep breaths here before continuing into the full posture.
Next, slowly lower both legs to one side until they are resting flat on the floor with feet stacked together (or if this is too much for your hips, keep one leg bent). Next, place one arm outstretched alongside you with your palm facing upward; use this arm as support for when you turn onto it later in the pose. With each inhale, lengthen through both sides of the torso from shoulder blades to hip bones; on each exhale, twist further into position by turning head and shoulders away from the extended arm so that the chin comes closer to the armpit – remember not to force yourself beyond what feels comfortable. Finally, reach around behind the body with the opposite hand (the same side as the extended leg) and clasp the wrist of the other hand – hold here for several breaths before gently releasing back into starting position.
This supported version of Fish Pose allows us time to explore our breath deeply while safely stretching our entire upper body without straining ourselves too much physically or mentally. It is also great for relieving stress-related tension, which can build up over time if we do not take care of ourselves properly – try adding this pose into regular practice sessions whenever possible.
