Well, being mindful does not have to mean you have to do it all by yourself. Instead, the activities such as mindful meditation with your partner can help you two connect deeper and more strongly with each other. The reason why you can connect with your partner so strongly is that mindfulness is a practice that allows one to introspect and become self-aware.

Choose Discipline over Drinks in Your Dating Formula

Traditionally dates are often associated with drinks and dinners, but the dynamics of the dating world have seen a change in the recent past. A study conducted by Wired on dating websites like OkCupid and Match.com highlights that “meditation”, “yoga”,” awareness”, “workout”, and “fitness” were common hobbies of popular profiles. People now prefer healthy lifestyles and seek for their significant other inside the yoga and gym classes.

Yoga dating has changed the definition of fun and enjoyment. Yoga poses, asanas, requiring assistance from others might ignite a spark between you and your significant other. The gentle touch and/or eye contact help the non-verbal communication, create spontaneity, and build trust. Where before adults preferred deep conversations to understand someone better, yoga might just have become a method of creating spontaneous connections and paved its way to form something more meaningful and beautiful.

Become a Part of The New Trend

Yoga Speed Dating classes have become the new trend in the world of fitness and lifestyle. They also encourage practicing yoga with different partners throughout the yoga session. This innovation has successfully helped participants form meaningful connections even if that means just friendship. To break the monotony of practicing yoga silently, they are also required to shift mats throughout the class.

This has allowed all the singles to look at yoga with a different lens. A perspective that you can use to create spontaneous connections and break the barrier of awkwardness on your dates. If you already have someone in mind whom you want to connect better with and form a deeper understanding with, get them to join a yoga session with you. Take your relationship to the next level, one that is created in silence but speaks a thousand words. A one-hour yoga session is guaranteed to help you walk home feeling closer to the one you walked in with.
