Yoga on the rise in Iowa City
BY NOELLE ALKHAWAJA | MARCH 10, 2015 5:00 AM
Yoga participation is on the rise.
In fact, in 2012, 9.5 percent of adults and 3.1 percent of children participated in yoga in the United States nearly 23 million people were practicing yoga at the time according to a recent study published by the National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease and Prevention.
One local businesswoman and yoga advocate said she believes its popularity is increasing in Iowa City.
Do I think more people are being exposed to yoga? Absolutely, said yoga instructor Maureen Mondanaro, the owner of Hot House, 224 S. Clinton St. We get letters here weekly from students just talking about whatever their story is and letting us know how profound of an effect the practice has on them.
University of Iowa students and staff said they receive physical- and mental-health benefits from the activity.
Were at a pivotal time in human existence, where things are changing, said UI sophomore Will Lovendahl, a yoga participant. Its about redefining what happiness is and getting rid of your stress.
Lovendahl was introduced to yoga in an entrepreneurship and innovation class taught by Lecturer Joe Sulentic.

Partner yoga: Double the pleasure
Posted: at 8:47 pm
Story highlights Partner yoga was developed to use touch to bring you two closer together These moves will increase the intimacy between you and reduce your stress
Dana Santas is the creator of Radius Yoga Conditioning, a yoga style designed to help athletes move, breathe and focus better. She's the yoga trainer for the Atlanta Braves, the Philadelphia Phillies, the Tampa Bay Rays, Tampa Bay Lightning, Orlando Magic and dozens of pros in the National Football League, National Hockey League, National Basketball Association and Major League Baseball.
Partner Yoga is a style of yoga designed to connect people -- especially couples -- via the somatosensory system, otherwise known as your sense of touch.
Not only can physical contact reinforce intimate emotional connections and increase dopamine release to enhance pleasure sensations, but studies have shown it also reduces stress.
In 2006, Dr. James Coan, director of the Virginia Affective Neuroscience Laboratory at the University of Virginia, conducted an experiment with 16 married couples and found that holding your partner's hand reduces anxiety by mitigating the stress response.
According to Coan, subsequent research has shown that hand holding between loving couples also promotes enhanced health, overall well being and, even, increased life expectancy.
The Partner Yoga moves I've included below all involve hand holding and/or intertwining arms as the foundation for connection, so you and your partner can partake in your own touch-response experiment.
Partner Yoga is about intimately tuning into one another so we can be guided by our partner's breathing and tactile reaction and respond appropriately.
Coordinated Breathing
Sit across from your partner in a seated straddle position with your feet touching your partner's feet.
