Relationship Yoga

This is your dojo for being human in LA. We train and practice in the art of relatefulness, an ecology of mindful relating practices in honor of building better relationships with more love and truth.

What is Relatefulness?

Relatefulness is a set of practices of discovering and training mindful ways of relating with others. If Mindfulness cultivates awareness, Relatefulness is the cultivation of awareness interpersonally. Practicing Relatefulness is a frontier where any modality that explores the interpersonal space is included. They can be thought of as relational meditations where, instead of bringing our awareness back to a mantra or the breath, we practice bringing our awareness back to “What is it like to be here, now, with this individual human or in this particular constellation of humans?”

While this often looks like a group of people sitting in a circle, movement is welcome. We also practice skill-building exercises in small groups or pairs. 

There are two main formats for Relatefulness that have their roots in Circling –– Relateful Focus (or Birthday Circles), where we choose an individual and explore what it’s like to be them and in connection with them in the moment, and Relateful Flow (or Surrendered Leadership Circles), where our individual and collective focus is free to flow wherever it wants to amongst the whole group.
