Yoga can give you greater flexibility, better muscle tone, can help you to release stress, and set you on a path to explore your spirituality. But can it really give you better sex? Yes it can. Yoga offers many benefits that can help you in your love life. It could be by improving your confidence, physical fitness and also calming the mind. When we are relaxed and focused then pleasure takes on a whole new meaning.
Sex and yoga are both part of a healthy and happy life. Knowing this gives you another great reason to roll out the mat. Here are the major ways that yoga can help you in this area:
- Sensuality. Sex and Yoga both benefit. from an awareness of your body and how it feels from one moment to the next. Learning to feel and adjust to the smallest sensations during yoga practice teaches you to savor all the sensation in your body. This awareness is carried over into your daily life and yes into the bedroom too. This awareness helps with the focus towards your body, but also takes the focus away from your mind and the things your worry about. Free from your stresses you can completely enjoy everything happening between the sheets.
- Increased Confidence. A recent study shows that people who practice yoga gain less weight as they age than people who do not do yoga at all. And while feeling more fit is an undeniable turn-on, with a more fit body we also become more confident, and with more confidence we are more able to approach and attract members of the opposite sex (and you need that for the whole thing to take place).
- More Energy. Raise your hand if you have ever felt the stirrings of arousal but were so tired you opted for bed instead (I know my hand went up on this question, when I realized the connection between sex and yoga it took me to a whole new level in both areas). A recent survey by the National Sleep Foundation, showed that one third of women say being to tiered makes them feel like not having sex. A 2004 clinical study at Harvard Medical School showed that yoga greatly improved sleep quality for chronic insomniacs. It is a simple exercise to connect the dots: practice yoga, sleep better, have more sex. (sex and yoga have another match)
- Yoga improves Intimacy. By becoming more in touch with ourselves physically (you know what I mean) we become more in touch with ourselves emotionally and mentally, this is also carried over onto our lives and into the bedroom as well, we become more connected and sensitive to our partners, and that 9 times out of 10 gets reciprocated..
- Better Orgasms are another nice benefit. On a physical level, many yoga poses increase blood flow to the pelvis. In our world of work and stress, the muscles that run through the pelvis are chronically constricted. There are many yoga poses which strengthen the muscles that play an integral role in orgasm. Here is where sex and yoga are a very nice match.
