Yoga for two: how to pump up your body

Yoga for two is great. You train – this time. Stay close – again a plus. And, most importantly, you develop confidence in each other, mutual assistance and other valuable qualities.
* In no case do not skimp on the warm-up – before training, go through 10-15 circles of “salutations to the sun.”
*In each asana you have to freeze for several breath cycles.
*Start with 10-15 seconds and work your way up to 1.0-1.5 minutes over time.
Asana 1
You stand straight and stretch your arms up. The partner takes them, crouches slightly, lifts you up – and puts you on his back.
He can tilt his body as low as he wants. But your main task is to completely relax while the spine is pleasantly stretched. Actually, everything is started for your back.

Asana 2
First, stand upright lying down – so that you look in opposite directions. From this position, both of you need to go into a side plank.
Then each one tears off the upper leg from the lower one and, without bending it, raises it higher. This is difficult, which is why it is done in pairs: partners support each other by the legs with their hands.
After completing the asana in one direction, repeat in the other. Absolutely everything is tense here: core, legs and arms.

Asana 3
The canonical tree pose can (and should) be done by two people. Stand next to each other, hold hands and interlace them over your head: let’s say your left with his right.
Loose – fold in namaste in front of you or pull out to the sides for balance. It is the balance and coordination that you will develop in this asana. When finished, switch sides.
Asana 4
For such an acrobatic asana, the partner’s strong hands are important (here he plays the role of a “base”) – everything rests on them. And you (you, by the way, “fly”) – fly. The partner lies on his back and raises all his limbs (legs comfortably bent). You lay your pelvis on his feet.
Then you line up your arms: he rests on your collarbones and shoulders, and you put your palms on his chest. Now the most interesting. You lift your feet off the floor.
The partner shifts one foot to your thigh and fixes it steadily, and puts the other one on the floor. You stretch your free leg up. And you work on balance, strengthen your back, and your man learns support. After completing the asana in one direction, repeat in the other: after all, how beautiful!

Asana 5
This pose is something like a double downward dog. First, the partner gets into the asana.
And then you put your feet on his sacrum, and with your hands you step up to such a distance that the angle in your hip joint is straight. Legs, arms, shoulders work, and you also pump your balance.

Asana 6
Both sit in the lotus position – back to back. Then simultaneously twist to the right – and put your hands on each other’s knees. Then repeat the same on the other side. Both of you will have a core.
When finished, do not disperse, but take a hitch. Continuing to sit (straight!) in lotuses back to back, take each other’s knees with your hands and do the breathing exercise.
You inhale, your partner exhales, then he inhales, and you exhale. Do 10-20 such cycles. The goal is to relax at the end of the session, so breathe easily.
