Yoga for Better Sex

How is your sex life? Have you ever thought about adding yoga into your life to help your sex life?

Limbering up with yoga will help you build a strong, supple body — and that leads to a lot more action in the bedroom, says Ellen Barrett, author of Sexy Yoga. “Yoga increases flexibility, which helps you to be free and just go for it in sex,” she says.

Helps You Flow

Yoga increases your overall blood flow, and some positions, such as the eagle pose, direct it straight toward your pelvis. When all that blood rushes to your privates, it literally makes you hot. That heat, combined with a warming lubes (as the blood swells your button), heightens your sensitivity and increases desire.

Makes You Stronger Down Below

Yoga can tones and strengthens your entire core — which includes your pelvic floor. “The more you work these muscles, the greater range of motion you have,” says Becky Jeffers, fitness director at the Berman Center for female sexual health and menopause management in Chicago.

“This gives you stronger contractions and releases, which can help you experience a more intense orgasm.” I know from experience that yoga has helped me in many ways with the ability to control my orgasms and my muscles.

Breeds Confidence

Yoga is great for quieting your mind and focusing on your breath during a pose to help you become more aware of yourself, and your own needs. “When you’re present, you know what you need to feel fulfilled by your partner,” Jeffers says.

“You can then translate and communicate this deeper understanding to your partner during sex.” Knowing and expressing your desires will make you feel good — psychologically as well as sexually.  Yoga has helped me learn how to clear my mind and focus on the task at hand, like sex.

Eases Pain

For some women, especially runners, hip and thigh tightness can make sex tough, but yoga eases pain by releasing that tension and relaxing your hips. “Tension in your hips can affect how your pelvic floor works,” Jeffers says. One tight muscle can lead to another, making your chances of orgasm remote and your love session about as sexy as a sweaty round on the rowing machine.

Relax, and everything gets easier — and better.  This is also true for women like me who are into weight lifting.  Muscle get tight, and yoga is a great way for me to stretch every muscle.

Gives You Mojo

Yoga moves like triangle and seated open-angle pose stimulate your chakras. According to Eastern philosophy, your sex life is governed by these chakras — your body’s energy centers surrounding your spine, in Yoga-speak.

“When your chakras are in healthy working order, you’ll find your sexual relations to be vibrant and healthy, too,” Barrett says.

Your three “sexiest” chakras are the root chakra (located at your perineum — the area between your pubic bone and anus), the sacral chakra (in the center of your lower abdomen), and the heart chakra (in the center of your chest).

Yoga enriches these critical areas with blood and “prana,” the life force, according to Barrett. That promotes openness and decreases sexual inhibition, which make you a more game sex partner and, in turn, a much happier person.

I love yoga and try to practice as much as I have time for.  I enjoy yoga so much I use an online streaming workout service called OpenFit. They offer yoga and barre which are 2 things I love doing. Check them out and also check out some of these great yoga accessories you can snag from Amazon.
