Yogis Complete Valentine's Day Guide

Valentine’s Day is an invitation to celebrate love in its fullest expression, for yourself and those around you. To complement our February theme, ‘Boundless Love,’ we’ve created a guide for yogis to embrace the spirit of the day.

Begin with a Heart-Opening Flow

Start your day with a yoga practice that emphasizes heart-opening poses like Camel Pose (Ustrasana), Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana), and Cobra Pose (Bhujangasana). These postures promote love, compassion, and connection. Here are some of the top picks from our library.
