Ellis Gold & Lila Skye have been teaching Equal Partner Yoga since 2001. The relationship-oriented program, known as Equal Partner Yoga, is a direct manifestation of Ellis & Lila’s “Namaste” relationship, where the focus is on bringing out the best in each other & in our relationship. Equal Partner Yoga is a spiritual, physical & mental practice that encourages you to dissolve the boundaries that create separation in relationship, while simultaneously remaining true to yourself. We teach partner postures derived from the yogic traditions of Iyengar, Ashtanga, Bikram & Dharma Yoga.
