According to lovetoknow.com ,..

Working through a yoga sequence with someone else extends a number of benefits:
-It's non-competitive fitness in which two or more people can engage.
-It builds intimacy, especially between friends, family members, and partners (boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/etc).
-A deeper level of trust develops between two yogis who explore the spiritual nuances of the craft together.
-Partners can assist one another with more challenging asanas or help with guided meditation.
-It's a fun activity to share with children. -Shared touch therapy in the form of yoga is similar to a massage.
-The spirit is revitalized with the gentle touch, the even flow of breath, and the focused attention on one another.
