Travel Yoga (19 page)

Take a few breaths, and then drop your head and shoulders.

Breathe and relax.

Sit on your bed.

Bend your legs and bring the soles of your feet together, close to your body.

Grab your feet with your hands and gently lower your knees.

Raise your chest and breathe.

Like all great travelers, I have seen more than I remember; and I remember more than I have seen

—Benjamin Disraeli

Sorrow shared is halved, and joy shared is doubled
.

—Native American saying

Face each other, standing about two feet apart.

Grasp your partner's arms just above the elbows.

Bend forward with arms interlaced while taking little steps backward.

Go slowly, and take deep, gentle breaths.

Allow your shoulders to relax and chest to open.

When ready, slowly step forward and rise up together.

Sit on the ground, facing your partner.
