Summary

With Contact Yoga, Tara Guber presents an inspiring new vision and philosophy of yoga created to inform and enhance your relationships with friends, lovers and yoga partners. Grounded in traditional yoga postures, Contact Yoga explores that mysterious and dynamic edge where two people connect - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.Offering valuable insight into the emotional and energetic dynamics of relationships, CONTACT breaks down the barriers that keep us trapped in separation by putting us deeper in touch with ourselves and our partners at the same time. Whether they're just friends, passionate lovers, yogis and yoginis in a class together or long-term life partners, CONTACT opens the pathway to dynamically discover the secrets of a successful and fulfilling relationship. Using poses specifically designed for two practitioners and utilizing the Seven Points of Contact: Trust, Passion, Commitment, Love, Communication, Vision, and Union, Contact Yoga brings relationship into the body, reflecting, in graphic immediacy, our deepest patterns of connecting and distancing, loving and protecting, giving and receiving, patterns that usually remain unconscious. This exquisite combination of openness and contact creates greater connection and intimacy for the practitioners, increasing their joy of being fully alive; and this joy is more than doubled when shared with another. As a provocative philosophy and dramatic practice for all who engage with it, Contact Yoga is revolutionizing the image of modern yoga and the dynamics of relationships.
