4 reasons why you should bring a friend to a yoga class

You’ve heard so much about the benefits of your regular yoga practice.  Just the stress relief alone has people frequently finding themselves in a studio.  Being with a friend can make your yoga practice and your relationship even better.

1. It’s a non-competitive environment.  There are plenty of opportunities to be competitive outside the studio. Isn’t a relief that you can take your foot off the gas peddle for just a bit?  Everybody progresses in their yoga journey at their own pace.  That’s a deeper experience when shared with someone else.

2. It’s drug-free.  It’s uplifting. You can feel amazing. Doing yoga with another friend is real quality time together.  It’s incredibly beneficial for you both.

3. You laugh together. Sometimes at each other.  Yoga should help you become a happier person.  There’s nothing like trying a challenging pose and then both of you burst out in uncontrollable laughter when something happens.  Yoga should be fun and light-hearted.  

4. Yoga helps you view life in deeper way.  It can alter your life for the better.  It’s also a journey. Isn’t that journey made so much better when it’s a shared experience?  Time on the mat also helps you better get into the present moment. So, imagine the depth of your conversation if you get together with your friend after class.

So this Valentine’s Day, there’s a special offer.   Bring a friend new to the Yoga Loft and that class is free for both of you.
