Union is the essence of yoga, and joining in postures with another person can deepen one’s understanding of the practice. An excellent tool for learning two-person yoga, Yoga for Partners features dozens of inspiring photos of the paired asanas. It teaches each partner how to synchronize their movements and breathing, bringing new lightness and enjoyment to any yoga practice. Following a brief introduction, 75 two-page spreads offer a full-page photo accompanied by positioning tips, a short commentary on the benefits of the posture, and advice on breathing techniques and proper focus. This stunning and stylish package, featured in a special lay-flat binding, offers a program that allows two yoga practitioners to strengthen their bodies and improve their technique together.

Total Disappointment,
This review is from: Yoga for Partners: Over 75 Postures to Do Together (Paperback)
I bought this book as an Amazon suggestion to another book I was purchasing for my spouse as a gift. This book was an inexpensive "add-on" to what I was already buying (Contact Yoga) so I bought it. I was totally disappointed and if I can find the time I'm going to return this one.
My husband and I love to practice yoga and we've been wanting to find truly good books with more 'partner' yoga poses. This one touts 75 postures, but in reality it's only a few 'beginner' poses shown from various angles. If you're really into yoga then don't waste your money on this book.

A Guide to Partner Yoga,

This review is from: Yoga for Partners: Over 75 Postures to Do Together (Paperback)
Whether you teach yoga or just want to add partner yoga to your practice for the sheer fun of it, this book contains accessible information for students at every level of hatha yoga. The clear and concise instructions, along with the excellent photography, make it easy for teachers and students alike to develop a practice based on this relatively new and enjoyable form of hatha yoga.

Oh boy...For professional reference only,
By Deborah P "Deborah" (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yoga for Partners: Over 75 Postures to Do Together (Paperback)
As a fitness professional and certified yoga teacher I would not recommend this book to practice with or take advice from. I actually warn my clients NOT to do some of the things they suggest (such as pushing on knees to get a deeper stretch) unless they are eager to injur themselves. Unless you are a professional and are able to sort through the exercises to determine which are safe and which are not, I would look elsewhere for advice on stretching and/or yoga.
However, if you are trained in biomechanics or movement this could be a good reference for ideas for partner classes, workshops or demonstrations (but you will have to know what to leave out). The participants will need to be fairly flexible already. Some of the pictures are cool but the quality of the printing is not that high, so they are more grey than black and white.
