**5 Simple Yoga Poses That Can Give Your Sex Life A Real Boost**
Not only does yoga help your live life one breath at a time, it also teaches your body to perform various activities in the natural rhythm that your body functions in; including when you engage in sexual activity.
Most women, for instance, struggle with staying focused, which can make the sex boring or unemotional and prevent them from having an orgasm. That is where yoga can really help. Yoga postures can help build focus and concentration as well boost your libido, according to the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Here are certain yoga postures that can help you maintain your sexual prowess and improve your overall sex life:
#1. Cat/cow stretch
The cat/cow stretch is the ideal movement to work your Kegel muscles—the same ones you use while your body contracts during an orgasm—to control the movement of your pelvic area. Practising this movement helps you produce more controlled orgasms, by conditioning your lower body muscles as well boost blood circulation in the areas you need for longer sustained sexual activity.
#2. Cobra
The cobra position directly benefits the health of your ovary and uterus and also helps better your menstrual cycle, thereby helping resolve gynaecological disorders. This posture also helps relieve men from premature ejaculation and helps them last longer in bed. It helps increase the flexibility of your lower back muscles, relieves people from back pain and improves the health of the lower back muscle, which in turn boost your sexual performance. Experts say that this posture also helps stimulate the energy centres of your body for improved vitality.
#3. Bound angle
The bound angle stretch gives your inner thighs and hips a good stretch, allowing a wider range of motion in your hip and groin area by increasing your flexibility. It also relieves tension in your lower back, opens up your chest re-invigorating and relieving you of fatigue as well. The combined effect of this posture improves blood flow to areas of your body that enhance your energy levels and gives you a natural sense of openness.
#4. Planks
This is the ultimate sexual confidence and strength building posture. It works on your back and core muscles helping you hold your posture while you’re in the act, helping you thrust more efficiently. It will also give you the upper body endurance to be able to hold yourself up without exhausting yourself or getting fatigued while helping you hold your body in a solid position helping your build a rhythmic movement pattern.
#5. Bridge
The bridge pose helps tone the vaginal muscles and improve the intensity of your orgasm. The same pelvic muscles involved in the kegel are engaged here as well. It can even help ease menstrual cramps, which can be limiting for women trying to have sex close to their periods. This posture also helps strengthen your spine, lower back and arms. Needless to say, mastering this pose can be a real boon to if you’re at the bottom while having sex.
