Contact ― The Yoga of Relationships

Contact: The Yoga of Relationships presents an inspiring new vision of yoga created to deepen your relationships with lovers, friends, family and other intimates in your life. Contact explores that mysterious and dynamic edge where two people connect: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Tara Lynda Guber and Anodea Judith offer valuable insight into the dynamics of all loving relationships, using poses designed for two participants that bridge the “Seven Points of Contact.”
Contact brings these seven points (trust, passion, commitment, love, communication, vision, and union) into focus as points on the body, allowing patterns of connecting and distancing, loving and protecting, giving and receiving to be revealed at their deepest levels. Contact will appeal to all who seek depth and fulfillment in their relationships.
Contact also features over one hundred striking tri-tone photographs by award-winning photographer, filmmaker and director Norman Seeff. His vivid images capture candid portraits of renowned yoga teachers such as Patricia Walden, Anna Forest and Shiva Rae as well as celebrities in dynamic yoga poses including Cheryl Tiegs, Carrie Otis, Daphne Zuniga, Catherine Oxenberg, Linda Grey, Elizabeth Berkley, Harry Hamlin, and Lisa Rinna.
“ [Contact] inspires us to take on yoga as others take on mountain climbing: as a training for the warrior of the spirit who needs courage every moment. This book will inspire you to see the world though the eyes of truth, integrity and passion. And you will discover an original aspect of Yoga where relating becomes easy yet sublime all at once.” — Margot Anand, author of The Art of Sexual Ecstasy
