Relaxing Bath Positions for Couples

Fill the tub with warm water. Add some bath salts or bubbles. Lower the lights and put on soft music. Get in with your partner. These eight positions help your muscles relax. The water holds you up so your body can rest. Sit or lean together in different ways. You can talk or stay quiet. Take slow breaths. The heat from the water works on tight spots in your back and neck.
