Tantric Yoga Positions

Tantric Yoga Positions

Starting with the foundation of Hatha yoga, here are some tantric yoga positions that partners will enjoy performing together. Modify any of these poses to increase the opportunity for prolonged eye contact and touching. It’s important to note that size does not matter in these positions; partners of unequal size can still practice together and benefit.

3. Place your left arm behind your back and extend your right arm out. Have your partner do the same.
4. Grasp your partner’s left hand with your right while you offer your left hand to your partner’s right. This will result in you both twisting your bodies to accommodate one another.
5. Gently twist as far as you and your partner are comfortable going; for you to twist deeper it means your partner must as well. Remain in constant communication at all times.
6. After a few minutes, switch sides and repeat.

Warrior I

Each of the Warrior Poses can be performed in Tantric yoga. Make sure to maintain eye contact at all times to deepen your connection.

3. Bend your front knees and straighten your spines.
4. Drop your shoulders back, square your hips toward one another and raise your arms above your heads.
5. Repeat on the other side.

Tantric yoga can forge a strong bond between two people as you move through the asanas together. Trust in your partner will grow as you learn to rely on him to hold you in the positions. Over time, you will both find new meaning and purpose in your practice together.
