Lovers Yoga is great little companion to all students and teachers of yoga. I have been teaching yoga for seven years, I was asked by one of my students to guide he and his girlfriend through a couples yoga session I prepared the class beforehand and when they arrived for the session they showed me this book and asked if I could take them through a sequence similar to this book. I was surprised when I looked through the book how similar my sequence was. Darrin has prepared his sequence in a tasteful romantic way and if you are a new student to yoga or someone whom has never done yoga before, you will feel comfortable doing these exercises for the first time. There is nothing in this book that a beginner could not do at home with their friends, family and lovers. I love how Darrin emphasises the joy and fun involved in couples yoga. I am now selling this book in my yoga studio.

My husband and I are so excited to be doing our "Lovers' Yoga" each night. There are so many stretches, massage tips, meditations and communication ideas all bundled into this cutely illustrated book.
The "Heeling Massage", "Happy Hug", and "Tantric Twist" are my favorites.
This is a must for couple's that need help relaxing and want a fun way to connect and be intimate with each other.
Enjoy!

Lovers' Yoga is so much fun! This book is a joy to look at with its wonderfull illustrations, and easy to read with simple instructions. My fiance and I have been practicing Lovers' Yoga and have increased our intimacy greatly. We even did a weekend retreat with Darrin Zeer, the author, and had the time of our lives! I highly recommend this book and way of doing yoga.

This is a fun little book filled with mostly stretches that you do with a partner. While not the Yoga I was expecting, it is fun to do the stuff together.

It is especially useful in that I have tight hamstrings and I get her help with stretching them out under the guise of being close and intimate hehe

Get this book if you want to spend more intimate times together increasing your body's elasticity while improving your closeness with your SO.

Do not get this book if you are expecting a yoga work out or tantric sex poses. You will be disappointed.

I thought this would be a little more in depth. But it was more like a pocket book you would pick up on a spinner rack. It's not very detailed and does not really give new poses. I wouldn't recommended paying a lot of money for this one.

Fun book to use with your significant other! It's laid out in an easy-to-understand format so that beginners can use this as well. The book is full of fun, relaxing stretching positions for couples. This is not a kama sutra book - fyi.

My wife and I have used this book several times since buying it. The poses are not too difficult, but might take a little time to do correctly the first time. We had fun working out the poses the first time through. Some of the poses are somewhat intimate, then again it is called "Lovers' Yoga". It does vary a little from traditional partner yoga in this aspect.

Guys, if you want to connect with your wife or girlfriend in a new and exciting way, you HAVE to buy this book!

I purchased "Lovers' Yoga" for my wife as part of a "job search survival kit" of books I bought for her from Amazon including What Color Is Your Parachute? 2011: A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers. She was recently let go as part of a major layoff and I wanted to show my support. She participated in a yoga club at work and had tried off and on teach me some poses but I had been resistant. Given the stress on both of us of her losing a job and searching for another one, I thought that buying this book help us relax together. As I anticipated, my wife was delighted to receive "Lovers' Yoga" as a gift. She said to me, "Not only does this say that you get me, it says you want to do something that I like with me."

Right away we dimmed the lights, lit a candle, turned on some soothing music, and tried a few poses. What followed was an incredible experience of intimacy, trust building, and relaxation. The directions are easy to follow and the illustrations help to make performing the exercises simple. There are stretches, massages, and strengthening exercises, and breathing exercises all designed for two. Each one builds on the last, so you can do as many or as few as you want.

The experience was amazing. We've been married for about a year and dated five years before that. Nevertheless, through these exercises I feel like we achieved a new level of connection. I am SO happy I bought this inexpensive little book. Some friends of ours are getting married to each other in a few weeks and I DEFINITELY plan to buy this for them as a gift!

My hubby and I are delighted to have this book around to give us quick ideas for destressing or getting closer. I love how the chapters are organized to suit one's mood!

This book is quick and easy to duplicate, whether you are a long time yogi or a beginner. Just fun stuff for couples!
