Receiving

Parenthood brings all sorts of shifts in your relationship, including less time and energy for intimacy. It can be a challenge to find ways to connect with your partner in the flow of family days. And yet, it’s also a time of life where nurturing that connection is so vital…

Once a week I get the opportunity to take yoga from my partner. It’s a wonderful treat ~ not just because he’s an excellent teacher, but because doing so allows me to interact with him in a different way. Receiving his teaching (including the yummy assists he sprinkles in and the chance to flirt discretely from my mat) allows for a playful and nurturing intimacy. It’s fun. And my body feels awesome afterwards.
