Every day is a perfect day to cultivate your connection with the world around you. Many places in the world, including the United States, Australia, Canada, China and Germany, celebrate Mother’s Day on May 10th-we know that the yoga community in Britain celebrates in March, but why not celebrate it again? This is a good way to express gratitude and love to your mother or anyone who supports your life. Practicing yoga together is a great way to spend time with your lover, whether it is to celebrate Mother’s Day or any particular Sunday.

The center of yoga is to connect with ourselves, others and the universe around us. Through our yoga practice and focus on breathing and feeling, we become more aware of who we really are. We tune into our hearts and our deepest desires, and operate from our true selves. When our interaction with others is based on this real and meaningful connection, we cultivate intimacy in the closest relationship.

Of course, yoga practice is a personal effort, but practicing yoga with your lover, whether it is your partner, parents or children, will add deeper connection to your experience. Running through a yoga sequence is a form of play, and it fosters fun and laughter, which is an excellent tool to help you feel close to each other. The common sympathy of not being able to keep balance on your head or putting your feet around your head makes challenging postures interesting rather than frustrating. Simple breathing and moving together create sweet memories.
