Join world-reknowned teacher Mark Whitwell as he teaches his "Seven-Minute Wonder" breathing and movement routine described in his new book The Promise of Love, Sex, and Intimacy, that will help you begin every day refreshed and ready to start living. In The Promise, Mark explains the deep causal connection between the breath and movement, and the cultivation of intimacy. It is an innate feeling that requires no thoughts. When you do this practice, something magical happens. By coordinating the male and female polarities in your breath-the exhalation and inhalation, respectively-you reunite all the natural opposites of life. Life then flows like an elixir between the two, and you will never look back. So when you do your "Seven-Minute Wonder" each day, you can relax from the effort of trying to find a relationship. Uniting the male and female within you is a catalyst to spark what life wants for you, a real erotic union in which renewed life comes and fills you up.

Modern science concurs with this ancient knowledge. Neuroscientists have discovered that the left and right side of the brain and body contain the male-female polarity, and that merging these polarities in your own system allows you to feel the most powerful union with another. Both partners feel the male-female functions of their own body within and with another. Mark calls it "strength receiving," a profound experience that gives depth and dignity to sex in real life. And it works with same-sex relationships just as it works for opposite-sex relationships, because all intimate relationships are based on the union of polarities. All you need to do is to perform the practice at least once a day for 30 days, and see the results.

Pros and cons of iPromise app for iPhone and iPad

iPromise app good for

Wonderful teaching, wonderful man, wonderful app. This is all the Yoga you need! 7 minutes every day and youll experience the result on all levels. Thank you, Mark!
I love the app, the way Mark explains how the promise works. I started doing it every day, everyone got seven minutes to do that. The reason why I gave only 4 stars is that you can only watch it on your iPhone, IPad but not on your Laptop which is a pity since I would like to watch the video on a bigger screen. But besides that it is wonderful!!! Thank you Mark :-)
Wonderful practice! Mark is an amazing and inspirational teacher, and this app is such a lovely reflection of his teaching.

Some bad moments

After attending Marks workshop in Esalen, I purchased this application. I was delighted to find that it contains Marks "7 minute" yoga routine that is designed to be done everyday. I have been using this app every morning and I feel great!!! You dont need to be flexible or athletic (trust me, I am not). I highly recommend you give it a try.
Loved this app. Mark did an amazing job. I have been a yoga teacher for 20 years now.... I took one of his workshops and it changed my views on yoga and my understanding of what it all means. I now teach some of what I learned from Mark. Thank you. Star, from Yoga Oasis - Hawaii
Has a 7 minute video of a transformational yoga practice. Great if you are traveling and cant get to a studio. The breathing techniques are crucial, start breath then movement and breath until the end of the movement that is the key! Also use video to bring awareness into both the inhale and exhale and take what you learn to your studio practise AND daily Life. Live On!
Marks message is a gift to all beings everywhere. This simple app guides you through a beautiful, gentle, flowing practice appropriate for all body types and levels of ability. The only thing that would make this app better would be a tracker showing when you began the promise and your consistency through the 3 months of recommended daily practice. However, I should note that this is a practice for every single day. For the rest of your life. As simple as brushing your teeth and taking a shower.
This is a perfect reminder to give daily to yourself. That youre everything you need to sustain a loving wonderful life as long as you connect and honor yourself daily. It is so easy to do and yes so hard to do but Mark makes it easy and rewarding to remember we are everything and perfect right now. Thank you Mark for the gentle reminder :) much love to you.
Beautiful and so very helpful. Practical effective and shared in the manner of a guru- "trusted friend". Thank you Mark!
