How to nourish your relationship during the pandemic

In these challenging times when many are spending more time at home, the importance of nurturing your relationship can often be overlooked. Days can go by without the slightest touch of authentic connection with your beloved. Beyond that, it’s natural to need guidance in one of the most significant and meaningful aspects of life — love & intimacy. Broadening our understanding of love and how it is cultivated improves all of our relationships.

Our Embody Love practice was created out of necessity when we noticed a deep need in our own relationship for regular, committed practice. We found it important to be able to be completely present in a speechless state while sharing loving touch. Throughout 2020, since there were fewer options for special “date nights”, many couples depended on our weekly practices to feel closer together, and their relationships became even more deeply, emotionally fulfilling than ever.

Partner massage reduces stress and creates a loving connection

We love sharing our simple and unique techniques inspired by Tantra, Thai and Shiatsu massage, yoga, and contact improv that can enhance relationships for years to come. As our participant Sita Rose put it, “I love how Alok and Anjuli lead together seamlessly and create a pure and loving space to connect. They are masters at their craft and make partner massage fun and accessible. I recommend their work for any couple who seeks to enrich their partnership.

Another participant named Andrea writes, “My husband and I have two kids, and we both work – sometimes it feels like there is barely time for us to connect with each other. Making space to be with each other in the workshop felt blissful. It also reminded us that one-on-one connection is not a luxury – it’s essential for a strong, healthy partnership.

Our teaching is always evolving as we learn more about what couples really need to enjoy a loving relationship with less tension and fewer conflicts. We equip and inspire couples to create a weekly ritual of connection and touch. We firmly believe that reducing stress and conflict in our intimate relationships is part of overall personal wellness. Our hope is that this practice will ripple outward to create a more sensitive, gentle, and loving society.

  1. Hello. And Bye.

  2. We miss you guys. Haven’t made it back to Playa Viva (and it looks like neither have you), but still have fond memories. Sorry we haven’t been able to connect for a backpack trip–Zia is STRONG (12 years old), and Tali is a sprite (9). Zia and I managed two trips in 2021, including a 14 mile loop in the Marble Mountain Wilderness. Just beautiful. Sorry our schedule doesn’t allow us to do any of your zoom courses at the moment. Alok, does your sister still live around the corner from us? You guys are always welcome to drop by and say hi if you ever find yourselves passing through. Love from Chico–Jeremy, Zia, Amy, and Tali

    1. Great to hear from you Jeremy! We haven’t been up to Chico this year. Glad you’re doing well.
