Yoga classes have a positive effect on sex life because they reduce stress levels and improve flexibility. And some asanas are perfect for sex. We tell you what practical benefits they can bring.
Warning: yoga asanas were not invented for sex, so always be safe and listen to your body. If you feel discomfort, change the pose.
The fold with a wide stance of the legs while standing
What’s good for sex: This pose is perfect for oral, anal and traditional sex. When a girl leans forward, her pelvis opens, which gives her partner better access. Also, during a wide-leg fold stretches the muscles of the back of the thigh, which is very useful, especially if you sit all day at the computer.
Optionally, you can lean on a shelf or desk for support. And to feel fully united with your partner, tie a belt or fitness band around your hips.
“Butterfly.”
What’s good for sex: This is a very comfortable position for oral sex. In the sitting position, put your feet together, open your knees, and move your feet toward you so that you are comfortable. Then you can move to the lying position. By the way, “butterfly” is one of the best positions to stretch your hips, and thanks to the flexibility in this area, you can master many other poses and diversify your sex.
Option: put a pillow or a folded blanket under your thighs to lift them up so they open up even more.
“Happy Child.”
What is good for sex: provides deep vaginal and anal penetration. In addition, when you are in this position, the inner surface of the thigh is stretched, which may be useful for you in other lying on your back positions as well.
Option: if you find it difficult to reach your feet with your hands in this position, use fitness bands.
Standing fold
What’s good for sex: This pose is suitable for BDSM role-playing. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, lean forward, and stretch your arms toward the floor. If necessary, bend your legs – so that you are comfortable.
Option: Can’t reach your hands to the floor? Not a problem. Use a yoga block to reduce tension.
“Cobra.”
What is good for sex: an excellent position for penetration from behind. Sex in this position will be useful for those who spend all day sitting at the computer – “cobra” stretches the muscles of the shoulders and chest.
Option: put a pillow or a rolled up towel under your thighs to lift them up.
Bridge
What is good for sex: suitable for G-spot stimulation. And also during penetration in this position the muscles of the pelvic floor contract, which gives a pleasant effect. Lie on your back, stretch your arms along your body, and bend your knees. Place a yoga block under your lower back, if necessary.
Variation: if your gluteal muscles are tired, use some pillows instead of the block.
“Downward facing dog.”
What’s good for sex: Another position for the deepest possible vaginal and anal penetration. This position is also good for foreplay. It also helps you stretch the back of your thighs and relax your back muscles.
Option: if you lack flexibility, bend your legs.
Child’s pose
What’s good for sex: Great for anal sex. If you do yoga, you know that this pose is for relaxation. At the same time you will stretch your hips and back.
Option: open your knees as wide as possible and try to put your belly on the floor.
Puppy Pose
What is good for sex: the partner has the opportunity not only to come from behind, but also to stimulate the partner’s vagina with his fingers. And yes, in this position the penetration will be deep. So… get on all fours, walk your hands forward, lower your head and breasts and maintain a 90 degree angle in your knees, raising your pelvis as much as possible.
Option: Again, we suggest you use a fitness band and tie it around your hips.
“The Cow Cat.”
What’s good for sex: the hip mobility pose provides deep penetration.
Option: if your arms get tired from staying in this position for a long time, try leaning on your elbows or leaning on a high pillow.
Shavasana
What’s good for sex: This position is for real tenderness and intimacy. While one of you is lying relaxed, the other can lie on top of you or next to you. Shavasana teaches the body to relax, to get rid of physical and nervous tension. And afterwards you can fully surrender to sex.
Option: put a folded blanket under your thighs for extra comfort.
