Through playful movement, supportive postures, laughter and communication, you’ll experience the joy of shared experience. As you safely move in unison with your partner, assist each other in stretches and common yoga postures, you will discover shared balance, strength, and a different kind of support than props can offer.

Come with a partner or by yourself and we’ll pair you up with a new friend! No experience necessary, all bodies are welcome. **Registration is per person. Each attendee must register separately.**
