5 Easy Couple Yoga Poses

Exercising is a great way to stay healthy and if you are not into hardcore workouts, yoga is always a good way to go about it. But, if you lack motivation, practising yoga with your partner might help you out with that!

Yoga helps improve your strength, balance, and flexibility, and can also help with back pain, arthritis, headaches, and carpal tunnel syndrome. It can also help you manage stress and anxiety and improve your cognitive skills.
