Find Strength Through Connection this Valentine’s
Fitness & Wellness teams up with University Health Services for Partner Yoga and dating violence awareness
Next week, in recognition of Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness Month, Texas A&M Rec Sports and University Health Services are teaming up to offer a Valentine’s Day-themed event–Strength Through Connection: Partner Yoga.
This special session is designed to foster trust, communication, and mutual support while encouraging emotional and physical well-being.
The free event will be held in the Student Rec Center on the Wednesday before Valentine’s Day, Feb. 12 from 6-7pm. Attendees will enjoy a relaxing yoga session alongside a partner and take home some fun swag as a bonus!
“We wanted to provide a fun activity that can help provide positive connection, movement, and education around dating violence,” Program Director Anna Taggart said.
As a Health Education Coordinator with Texas A&M University Health Services, Myrka Lila emphasized the emotional resilience, community, and empowerment to create positive and safe relationships that students will build during this session.
Texas A&M Rec Sports is fostering connection and well-being through yoga, as participants engage in mindfulness and movement ahead of the Strength Through Connection: Partner Yoga event.
“Partner yoga promotes trust, communication, and mutual support—key elements in any healthy relationship—while also offering physical and mental benefits that help reduce stress and increase self-awareness,” Lila said.
Beyond the individual benefits, Strength through Connection: Partner Yoga is part of a broader initiative to educate students about dating violence and the importance of safe, respectful relationships.
Whether you’re looking to enjoy a refreshing yoga session, deepen your relationship with a partner, or simply learn more about healthy connections, this event is the perfect opportunity to engage in self-care while fostering meaningful relationships. Don’t miss out on this chance to stretch, breathe, and build strength together.
