Over the last few years yoga of all forms has become wildly popular and mainstream here in the US. If you haven’t tried it, you know someone who has or at least have some understanding of what yoga is all about. At least here in San Francisco, you’d be hard pressed to miss the hundreds of yoga studios blanketing the city. And for that matter, all the sweaty, mat carrying, peaceful individuals walking away from their weekly classes.

In our insanely fast paced and frankly overworked society, people are seeking the mind, body, and spiritual awareness you develop and practice with yoga. Most people know yoga as an individual tradition, but what if you had a partner to feed off of?

Welcome to partner yoga! The latest innovation in yoga classes. While any typical yoga class has you working on your own, partner yoga classes have you pair up with a friend to deepen the work and cultivate trust, connection and playfulness. AcroYoga, an internationally touring group of yogis based in San Francisco, developed a fusion of partner and acrobatic yoga that seriously takes the physicality of yoga to the next level. Their highest aim is to, “bring individuals into a state of union with themselves, with each other, and with the divine. From this place of mutual support the true self can be realized, honored and shared for the benefit of all.”

Sounds awesome right?! So, while you might not be able to take a class from these yogis anytime soon, there’s no reason you can’t try to pick up some great poses from their website. Check out their gallery here and this amazing video from the 2007 San Francisco Yoga Journal Conference!

Let’s partner up! Get connected and build trust with a good friend or significant other. I’ve definitely got to take advantage of the opportunity to actually take classes from AcroYoga. Anyone want to join?! Have fun and enjoy!

Ever wake up feeling super stiff? I know I do at least a few mornings a week. In my experience, a great way to reduce that stiffness and wake up the body is to do some light stretching before you head out for the day. Stiffness is mainly due to tight muscles that constrict or in some cases “lock” joints. By warming up and lightly stretching your bodies main muscle groups you’ll prepare you body for all the activity of the day ahead. Just getting your blood moving and oxygen pumping will boost your energy. Here is an awesome series I do almost every morning:

Child’s Pose: Stretch out that low back and get some nice hip flexion with this pose. Kneel with either your thighs together or hip width apart. The forehead rests on the mat or floor as the arms stretch by your sides. I also love to place my arms above my head and get a nice back and shoulder stretch. Hold for at least one minute.

Piriformis Stretch: There are several ways to stretch the little piriformis, but this is my utmost favorite. The piriformis is a small muscle that sits deep inside the hip. It’s responsible for rotating your leg outward, so as you can imagine this guy can get pretty damn tight, especially if you sit a lot. By stacking the lower legs on top of one another you’ll really open those hips. I like to place my hands on the floor in front of my legs and walk them out until my body is lying on my thighs. Hold for at least a minute on each side.

Cat Cow: OMG! This is the most fabulous way to awaken the spine in the morning. If you want a nice healthy spine for life you’ve got to build strength and flexibility through movement. Cat to Cow gets you moving in almost all of the spinal mechanics. Cow nails the flexion, Cat pushes for extension, and if you do my version you can get lateral (side) flexion as well! Start on all fours with a neutral or flat spine. Move into Cat by curling the pubic bone towards your nose as you exhale. Make a nice even “C” curve in the back. Go back to neutral spine and then extend into Cow by reaching your tail bone up to the ceiling as you press the chest forward, head follows. Try to make an even “U” with your spine. To get that much needed lateral flexion, go back to neutral spine, abdominals pulled in, and reach your ear to your hip. Same on the other side. You’ll kind of feeling like a dog wagging her tail, but it feels so good!

Forward Bend: This is another great low back and obvious hamstring stretch. Stand with feet together or hip width apart. Roll from the top of your head all the way down your spine until your hands reach the floor. If they can’t reach don’t worry, it will get better! I also like to cross my arms above my head holding each elbow with opposite hand and just hang there, letting my head dangle and swivel from side to side. Or you could clasp your hands together behind your back and reach your arms behind your head towards the floor for a nice shoulder opening. Hold for at least 30 seconds. Roll up through your spine the same way your rolled down. Trying to articulate every vertebrae.

Now your ready for your shower! Why not walk out the door feeling ease in your body every morning?
