Try Yoga For Better Sex!
Everyone knows that yoga is great for your health, but did you know it can also help improve your sex life?
Aside from the obvious improvements gained by any type of exercise, yoga has a variety of benefits that will improve both your health and sex life. The most noticeable effects of practicing yoga are a reduction in stress, increased energy levels, better sleep, and improved flexibility which can all contribute to a better sex life. The less noticeable but nonetheless impacting effects of yoga include increased blood flow to the pelvic area with the consistent practice of yoga poses which can offer more intense sensations during sex and ultimate orgasm, an improve in your overall sense of self confidence as studies show people who practice yoga are less likely to gain weight over time as they age, and an increase in self respect and self love as yoga teaches that the body is a temple to be revered and protected.
Yoga also improves the ability to be receptive to others without judgment at times of vulnerability( as is usually the case during sex) as it brings increased awareness of your own body and sensitivity to the vibes and moods of others thereby assisting you in better pleasing your partner and communicating what it is that you like and want during intimacy. Yoga helps you to be fully in the moment and present when you spend intimate time with your partner as many practices require complete relaxation of both the body and the mind, providing practitioners with an undeniable state of clarity.
To practice yoga, seek out your local gym as most offer yoga classes free with memberships or a local yoga studio nearest you. Prices are not unreasonable, especially considering what you receive in return.
If you’re a beginner & are unsure about taking a class try these simple tips:
- Deep Breathing: Close your eyes and sit or lay on the floor (however is most comfortable). Take slow deep breaths in as you mentally count to 10 and then exhale for 10. Repeat as many times as you wish, but try and aim for at least 10 inhales and 10 exhales a day. It’s a great refresher and will reduce anxiety and stress immediately.
- Butterfly Pose: This pose may sound unfamiliar, but I’ve bet you’ve done it during stretching at gym class. Simply sit on the floor with the bottom of your feet touching, knees bent, parallel to the floor. Bend your torso, at the waist, over your legs for a nice long stretch. Do this in combination with deep breathing techniques.
- Super Man: Everyone does this, even babies. Lie on your stomach with your hands resting on the floor over your head, palms to the floor. Slowly, lift up your legs and hands, arching your back slightly. Hold for 10 (remember to breathe!) and then lower for ten. Repeat at least 5 times. Enjoy flying!
- Plank: This might be more known to pilates lovers, but is so effective everyone should do it. Cherished by active women everywhere for it’s ability to tone, tighten and strength the ab muscles, plank is done by bending your arms (at the elbow) into a 45 degree angle forearms against the floor. Using your forearms as support, raise onto your toes, with your legs straight out behind you, paralell to the floor. It should look like you’re doing a push up, only you’re not going anywhere and your forearms are holding you in place instead of your hands. All you have to do is hold it for 30 second intervals. Hold 30, rest 30. Repeat as many times as you can.
Good Luck!

Top 5 Sex Positions That Burn The Most Calories
#5 The Missionary Position: This position is as traditional as it gets. Everyone does it, everyone’s tried it. It is preferred by some and probably bores others, but this position is one of the easiest positions to do and allows for easy insertion and depth. This position burns 32 calories for men and 16 calories for women ( based upon 30 minutes to an hour session depending). On average, each person will burn 20 calories.

A fun and exciting position to get in touch with your primal instincts, this position burns 35 calories in men and 15 calories in women. See how long you can last to up your calorie AND pleasure count!
To Do This Position: The female partner gets down on hands & knees while the male partner gets on his knees and mounts directly behind for easy deep insertion and fun fitness for both parties! Girls, I recommend you arch your back for added pleasure and varying positions. Your man will find it sexy and your butt will look fabulous! For men, if your gal is into it, hair pulling is a plus! Use a pillow(s) or fluffy down comforter to prevent rug burn.

Our Favorite Variation of this Position
#2 The Wheelbarrow Position: This position is not for the faint at heart! More challenging than your average missionary, I recommend this position for highly active couples or couples who are looking for something outside the box. Although this isn’t the easiest position, it burns 59 calories for men and 78 for women, making it worth your efforts. Use pillows for padding as needed!
To Do This Position: The female partner gets down on hands and knees while the male partner comes behind her standing up and lifts her legs off the ground, mounting her over his waistline for easy penetration and unique stimulation. Again, there are many variations to this position so choose the one that best suits you and your partner.

#1 The Sex Position Winner In Calorie Burning Abilities: Stand And Deliver Sex Position
This sex position burns the most calories by far, especially if the female partner is taller than her male counterpart. 90 Calories on average are burned for both parties in this position so be prepared for things to get intense!
To Do This Position: Stand facing one another, using the wall for support if needed. The male partner may need to kneel slightly during insertion for this to work smoothly. Good variations for this position are having your man pick you up as you wrap your legs around his waist, lifting one leg up over his shoulder or lifting one knee up into his chest or shoulder area for deeper penetration. Adjust accordingly depending on your comfort level.
Our Favorite Variation of this Position
Just For Fun Sex Position of the Day:
Spread Eagle Sex Position
To do this sex position, the female partner stands with legs spread apart, elevated on short sofa or large chair (make sure it’s a flat and stable surface for safety reasons), leaning against a wall for support (if needed) while the male partner holds onto her thighs and thrusts in a standing position. I don’t know how many calories this burns, but it’s at least as much as the Stand & Deliver Sex Position and just as fun!
