4. Strengthens the Pelvic floor – Many of the yoga poses require the engagement of the pelvic floor. A stronger pelvic floor supports prostate health in men, and in women, allows for more control over sensual pulsations (similar to kegals) during sex, which can heighten the experience.
5. Heightens Awareness – A regular yoga and meditation practice, builds mindfulness, or a better ability to notice sensations in the body, improves the ability to stay in the present moment and intensifies the experience.
6. Balances the Mind – With a calmer mind and a more positive outlook, a person has lower stress levels and is more likely to engage in regular sexual activities because they feel better. Therefore, a regular yoga practice can help to improve the libido.
So, how do you get started improving your sexuality with yoga? Start now. Practice this breathing technique for the next few minutes to build mindfulness. Sit up to lengthen the spine, close your eyes, and take a slow deep breath in through the nose while counting to three silently. Then, exhale just as slow through the nose.
For a basic mini yoga routine, practice the following poses after a five or ten minute warm-up on the treadmill. Then, cool down with a few minutes of slow, even breathing and relaxation.
