If your sexual health is a top priority, your natural wellness and wellbeing are bound to follow. Nothing melts stress and busts anxiety like a bit of a workout under the covers. Sex calms nerves and releases endorphins which are happy hormones that boost your immune system, relieve nasal congestion and even help you live longer.
As if all that wasn’t enough, research is now showing that yoga can make your sex life even better by improving the quality and frequency of your orgasms.
Yoga gives you stronger outer muscles, as you strain to hold all the tough, unique positions that yoga entails. Stronger muscles from doing yoga can increase your endurance during sexual intercourse. Try the three legged down dog or crow pose if you are specifically looking to go longer in bed.
As well as building up your stronger outer muscles, yoga also tones your inner muscles, such as those inside your pelvic floor. These muscles play an important role in sex. When held in, they can increase the pleasure for you and your partner, and for yourself, and they can also lead to stronger, more powerful orgasms. To tone up your pelvic floor muscles, you can also do kegels (also known as pelvic floor exercises) and these can be done anywhere, such as when sitting at your desk at work or when standing in line at the grocery store.
Yoga also helps to improve your flexibility which can lead to increased creativity in the bedroom. When you have nice loose hips, spine and hamstrings from doing hours of yoga, you will feel confident to try different sexual positions without risking an injury.
Yoga will also give you improved confidence in the bedroom. When you feel strong, toned and sexy, you will feel more confident and sexy, and the increased energy that yoga gives you will also come in handy, too!
