You and your partner can do yoga together. Backbends is a yoga pose that is recommended for couples. This pose not only aims to increase blood flow but also helps fight the effects of bad posture. You can also try other body poses such as bridge, wheel, camel, or cobra. And if you're up for the challenge, you can explore and try acro yoga!

2. Hot chocolate tasting

Chocolate is known for its calming effect, it is often used as a comfort food that is comfortable and warm. You only need about an ounce of cocoa dissolved in hot water and if you want, you can add adaptogens, sweeteners and your favorite spices to enhance the taste and benefits for the body. The best part? Cocoa is often used ceremonially to increase the happiness hormone. So if you decide to do anything else on this list, you can take a sip of cocoa first to really get the love flowing.

3. Meditation

If the two of you often do meditation activities alone, now is a good time to try meditation together. New meditation movements such as Transcendental or Vipassana could be an option. To stick to a more intimate theme, you can try the Metta-Bhavana type of meditation. Believe me, one of these three types of meditation is very good for improving communication skills for you and your partner.

4. Dance together

Who doesn't like dancing? From meditation to dance, let your body move freely to the beat of your favorite music. These activities can help process and release emotions, activate flow states, and connect with whoever you dance with. Plus, it's just a sweet and romantic choice. Make a playlist to dance to each other, turn off the lights, and dance the night away.

5. Breakfast together in bed

Start your day by serving a romantic breakfast on Valentine's Day, then enjoy it together while relaxing in bed in your pajamas. Don't forget the hot chocolate.

6. Exchanging Love Letters

Make Valentine's Day even more special by writing down why your partner means so much to you. Write a letter as specific as possible and really personal because it will be a letter that will always be remembered.

7. Playing games

For those with a competitive nature, a fun board game or board game at night will make Valentine's Day unforgettable. Monopoly, Ludo, or Snakes and Ladders can be fun and exciting toys to play together.
