Partner Yoga
Angelina Calafiore and Tony Graeber offer Partner Yoga classes in Incline Village.

This unique approach allows partners to meet on equal ground, which is the best foundation for union. Each asana becomes more organic as partners begin to sense each other’s body messages – when to release and when to hold, when to embrace and when to be side-by-side. 6 week program costs $150 per couple and $30 per couple drop-in. Details at 775-559-1839.
