We all know that Yoga increases your muscle flexibility, relieves
stress, tones up your body and increases your spiritual peace on your
road towards enlightenment, thus it's not rocket science to assume it
also benefits your sex life. Yoga offers you and your partner a number
of physical and emotional advantages which make sex fun, and provide a
deeper, more fulfilling, meaningful sexual relationship for both of you.
There
was a time when Yoga was thought to be practiced only by women (and
perhaps old men with long white beards) but in this mainstream age many
men in their prime are turning to it, both because it helps to deal with
the stresses and turmoil of our hurly burly fast paced world, and
because Yoga improves their flexibility and strength thus enriching
their sex lives.
Sex and Yoga have a lot in common with one
another - both are about opening up and venturing deep into oneself to
explore new strengths, endurances and discoveries. Sex is part of a
natural rhythm and drive, in all of us and should be enjoyed, celebrated
and enhanced. More often than not, it becomes dulled due to the
stresses (and commercialization) of daily life, and Yoga enables you to
reconnect with these natural rhythms.
Ideally, it would be nice to
do Yoga with your partner, but if that's not convenient, simply build
yourself up to wow your partner between the sheets. Sex is also similar
to Yoga in that the more you commit yourself to it, trust in it, learn
to let yourself go and still your ego - the more you can transform
yourself and serve your partner better (both in the bedroom, and out of
it).
Similarities between Sex and Yoga
- Scientists have measured natural rises of testosterone (the main
hormone for sexual arousal) in both men and women during Yoga poses.
- Fast breathing exercises done during Yoga increase blood flow
through the genitals promoting arousal even for those with low libidos
- When you leave the hot yoga mat, you are more open, relaxed and
patient, just like after a vigorous session of sexual intercourse
- As your confidence grows in the Yoga studio, so does your confidence
in the outside world. That's the same as with sex, if you are strong
and assertive in the bedroom, it carries over into your life and your
assertiveness enables stronger, clearer decision-making
- Both practices produce significant increases in blood pressure,
heart rates, sweating (though the women perspire rather than sweat),
energy (afterwards) and unblocking of pent-up energy
- Physical aspects of your body are also strengthened, including
toning up the pelvic muscles, enhancing confidence, sensuality and
orgasms
