Date nights don’t have to revolve around buzzing crowds and fancy restaurant dinners. Sometimes, a little quiet time can be just as intimate. Revel in your own private sphere even in a room full of people, and follow the soothing voice of Kathy, our instructor, guiding you through the moves.
We’ve heard of yoga, but yoga in the dark? Now that’s one never-before-seen date night activity. If blindfolds and candles are your thing, get in touch with your inner zen as you tune into your own breathing and even that of your partner beside you.
Even if you have no idea what The Crow or The Pigeon looks like, it’s all good; half the fun and adventure comes from being blindfolded and following your own instincts. The usually self-conscious will find themselves daring enough to take the reins and try out daring poses.
With no one to judge or copy, you are your own yogi. May the inner force be with you.
