Forget Tinder and OkCupid, Studio Blue Yoga, Toronto’s hottest new yoga studio, hosts Toronto singles as they heat things up in person with I <3 Yoga Speed Dating on Thursday, February 26th, from 7:30-9pm.

Toronto singles will be stretching it out on yoga mats… together. With five minutes for each “date,” singles will do couples yoga poses like hand-holding seated twists or wide legged forward folds giving them a chance to get up close and personal with a potential lover.

With more men and women turning to yoga for their physical and spiritual wellness, why not make a love connection on the yoga mat.  Yoga for two allows singles to touch, hold and breath together while seeing if there’s a spark and deep connection in a short amount of time.

“Yoga intensifies self-awareness of ones body, feelings and desires, and practicing with a partner increases ones trust, openness and sensuality,” says yogi and owner of Studio Blue, Jessica McIntyre. “I’m excited to see sparks fly with some partner stretching, holding and joint poses and bring new meaning to a down-ward dog for so many Torontonians.”

The usual rules of speed dating apply, with Studio Blue connecting mutually attracted singles.
