Bikram Yoga

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

Here's Everything You'll Get With The Brand New Shapeshifter Yoga Program 

After more than a decade of regular yoga practice, what's keeping me going is the yearning for improvement, of the hope for eventually unlocking the secret to what practicing yoga will yield. If expecting a different result for doing the same things over and over is insanity, then yoga has taught me to keep on going anyway: Expectation is beside the point; it is the trial that matters.

The stress of working in Washington, DC for the military during the post-September 11 years drove me to yoga. One of the first retreats that I attended was a naked yoga retreat for men in a small town in upstate New York. The suggestion of what this could be was too tempting and I went expecting the world, yet fear seeped out of my pores.

The experience was so profound that I decided to give up my government job and move to New York. To do what I was not sure, but I knew that a door has been opened and I had no choice but to walk through it. There has been only a handful of times when such moments of clarity sparked in my life. Now, 10 years later, I find myself on Koh Phangan, a tiny tropical island in the Gulf of Thailand. The yoga that I teach on the beach is practiced without clothing. Raised eyebrows often demand that I defend myself: "What makes naked yoga relevant?" "Is this a sex thing?"

Nudity is often confused with sensuality and we tend to think that what makes us feel good must be bad. So better to hide, for it is safer under covers where no one can see: Who knows what might happen? Ten years ago, such fear-based expectations almost kept me from starting on the path to liberation. Yoga, naked or not, is about exposing the body to various disciplines in order to free the soul. In a culture obsessed with material wealth, reducing the body to its bare essentials can have quite a profound effect on the individual.
On the practical side, yoga is a science of energy management. While western thinking talks about the heart beating, yoga asks: What makes the heart beat? We go to the root of the cause. It not fair to abuse something until it breaks only to find disappointment when a fix quick is not an option. Modern medicine, surgery, and therapy are expensive treatments to ailments that might not occur if we care about the entire system.

Yoga, regardless of the method of delivery, should never lose sight of the big picture, of taking care of the entire system: A regularly watered plant will bear more fruit and a withered specimen. Right now, natural disasters are on everyone's lips in Thailand, for the very congested, urban Bangkok is about to get a rinse from the massive flooding that's affecting the central plains of the country. Plants that are firmly rooted, that have been watered for years, with withstand the deluge. Have you watered your plant lately?

Now if you're thinking about practicing naked yoga then I'm sure you'll find this beneficial. I have been practicing naked yoga for several years now and believe I'm in a good position to let everyone know the TRUE benefits of this type of yoga as oppose to the traditional type. Now let's be clear from the outset, naked yoga is not as mainstream as the traditional type but recently there has been a huge surge of naked yoga practitioners all over the globe. Those who choose to practice it find that it helps the unity of the mind, body and soul and aids in an overall more enlightened yoga state. Now let's delve right into the five quick tips to practice naked yoga successfully!
1: Make sure the room is warm! - Believe me, if you yoga naked you really won't want to be cold. Make sure it's at a comfortable temperature in the room. It's not nice having a chilly rear end!
2: Lock your doors! - It's quite shocking to have someone burst through your door, for whatever reason, and catch you in that "o' so revealing" naked asana! This is particularly important if you don't live alone.
3: Set the mood! - Dim the lights and make sure there's minimal noise. It makes it a whole lot easier to project your thoughts with minimal distractions.
4: Enhance your experience! - Put on some pure ambient music to enrich the experience and deepen the thoughts in your mind.
5. Have a regime! - Make it part of your lifestyle. Your routine shouldn't last for no longer than an hour but it's also very important that you implement it at least once every two or three days. It may feel a bit like a chore at first, but give it a few weeks and you won't be able to wait until your next session!
So what's the real difference between traditional yoga and naked yoga? Well to be honest the poses are more or less exactly the same but with the removal of all clothing. Now for some it may not seem logical removing your clothes but there are some secret benefits that can really assist your yoga experience. We've proven this and found that naked yoga has not only been the source behind the removal of specific anxiety issues around a person's body, but it acts as the door to the non-psychical faculties of your psyche while also allowing for a more flexible approach to any asana's. Overall it's hailed to improve the focus of your yoga and the union it encompass. You embrace a more untied approach to yoga in general.
Now I should make it clear that there is no sexual connection between being naked and practicing naked yoga. Quite the contrary actually as we are engaging the mental facilities with less of a regard to the physical. That said there are some yoga classes that leave the line less defined, i.e. tantric or couple yoga, but generally a connection between the both is commonly excluded. In terms of where you could practice there are two places: in the comfort of your own home or as a member of a professional group. Many individuals believe that exposing their body within a group would be nothing less than crazy but at the end of the day however, it's really just about finding out what suits you.
In professional yoga classes the atmosphere is extremely welcoming and non- threatening, with some classes allowing for specific undergarments to be worn for beginners. Lights can be dimmed and while in your yoga regime there is a deep sense of freedom felt throughout. Contrary to popular belief, there are a wide array of practicing naked yoga classes around the world, waiting to embrace anyone who is willing to let it into their life.
As mentioned before, I've been practicing naked yoga for several years now and it's really added to my personal life immensely, so I decided to make a full report on the whole subject. It covers everything from 'Why Naked Yoga Classes Are So Hard' to 'The Masters Guide To Naked Yoga Fulfilment'.
