Pretzels Family Yoga

It’s “ka kite” for now from us at Pretzels Yoga. Sadly, there has not been the demand I had hoped for these classes, so I am putting Pretzels on the back burner for now! Thank you so much for your support ❤️

Part 4: *Connecting with each other* 🫂

When we practice yoga together, we take the time to truly be with each other and do nothing else. No mobile phones, emails, toys, or delicious dishes cooking in the oven. Doing yoga together is sacred (and playful too, of course) - our family is sacred. When something is sacred we treat it with extra care, we give it special attention.

When doing partner or group poses, we are likely to hurt each other if we are lacking in communication and awareness skills. It’s a learning process, but the secret of both staying safe and enjoying the practice more is doing it SLOWLY.

We move slowly, we breathe slowly, and we become aware of our bodies and our connections. No rush. We are here for each other, forever.

Part 3: *Touch* 🖐

Touch is the most ancient form of communication and the most powerful way to show love. We need safe and loving touch just as much as we need food and water, and children and adults who do not receive enough safe and supportive touch develop a variety of psychological and social issues.
In a family yoga class we join our yoga poses by holding hands or doing them side by side, back to back, and even one on top of the other!
While in the poses, and before and after the practice, we pat each others back, ruffle each others hair, massage each other and just stay as close to each other as we can.
Touch connects people, and it can help bridge gaps that verbal communication cannot.
Laughing and talking are most welcome in a family yoga session, but it is nice to have some silent parts when we communicate without any words. We can even use hand squeezes or tapping to communicate to our partner if we would like them to ease the tension in the pose or take us farther into it. One squeeze or tap means less, and two squeezes or taps mean more.

Part 2: *Breathing together* 🫁

Synchronising our breath while doing yoga together creates a joint rhythm and a greater awareness of both the poses and of each other.

We breathe in when we extend or open up in a pose, and we breath out when we fold in or relax. We make the breath rhythmical, equalising the length of the inhalation and exhalation. These rhythms induce calmness and serenity.

Part 1: *Eyes* 👁

We can see so much in the eyes; our feelings, our fears, our love. By looking into each others eyes we take the time to connect and be present together with no agenda. It is ‘us time’ now!

It can be at the beginning or the end of the practice, or even while in the poses. We soften our eyes, and silently look into each other for as long as we need to. Something magical always happens if we are sincere and patient enough with this practice.
