Y<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">oga means \u201cunion\u201d or \u201cyolking\u201d. A feeling of inextricable connection between self, and all there is. The practice of Yoga creates transformation in every area of your life. Especially when it comes to sex. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If yoga creates union, then the ultimate union is sex. So let\u2019s see how this powerful practice can take your sexcapades to the next level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tune In, Get Off<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Movement, breath, mantra, meditation, and other yogic practices allow us to develop the ability to \u201ctune in\u201d like never before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoga increases sensitivity on a physical and emotional level. It gives us the ability to track sensations that previously went unnoticed, and to sense our partner\u2019s needs without the use of words. This heightened sensitivity means deeper sensations all over your body, and usually that translates to more complex orgasms- and more of them. Can\u2019t argue with that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Feel Better, F*#k Better<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yoga revitalizes the body, mind and soul from the inside out. A regular practice tones your body, and increases flexibility, and stamina. This means you\u2019ll feel better, sexier and more radiant in your own skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The better you feel physically and emotionally- the better sex you\u2019re gonna have. Plain and simple. Yoga increases Prana, your vital life force. Sex is the essence of life, so the more life juice you have pumping through you, the more juiced up your sex life is going to be. I\u2019ll let you use your imagination on how flexibility and stamina come into play.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can also have tremendously healing benefits on anxiety, stress, and trauma. We store so much history in our bodies, and sometimes these stories keep us from truly experiencing pleasure. When we heal these blocks, we feel more at peace and the effects ripple out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Breath is Best<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing is sexier than the moment when you and your partner sync your breath, and can feel each and every cell come alive in harmony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first component of practicing physical forms of Yoga is connection with your breath. Breathwork revitalizes the nervous system and increases <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.doyouyoga.com\/what-is-prana\/\">prana<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; our vital life force. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people in the modern world are not breathing to their depths. They tend to do what\u2019s called \u201cchest breathing\u201d, versus fully utilizing their diaphragm. Yogic breathing gives you the power to pull your breath into your stomach, your vagina, cervix, and whole pelvic floor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This increased circulation allows for, you guessed it- better orgasms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Party on The Pelvic Floor<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to yogic technology, there are certain \u201clocks\u201d, also called \u201cbandhas\u201d in the body that are used to create a container of energy. One of these main locks is called mula bandha, or pelvic floor lock. If you\u2019ve ever taken a yoga class, you\u2019ve probably heard the teacher saying something like \u201cengage your pelvic floor\u201d or \u201cpretend you\u2019re trying to hold in your pee.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is engaging mula bandha, or a more evolved take on the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intimina.com\/blog\/kegels-for-beginners\/\">kegel<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at Intimina, we\u2019re all about pelvic floor action. Not only does mula bandha give you the abillity to hold and distribute energy and sensation in your vagina, it can also help heal pelvic floor injuries from things that can interfere with your ability to enjoy sex, like birth and surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Polarity Planet<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We live on a polarity planet. Geologically, by how the Earth is magnetized, but also in the way energies interact. Yoga allows you to understand the polarities between male and feminine energy on a subtle level. Sex is a give and take, a constant intercourse of these energies. Which by the way, don\u2019t necessarily mean men and women. This principle applies no matter what configuration of genders are having sex.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sound pretty esoteric? It is, but it\u2019s also practical advice for how to interact sexually using yogic principles. Speaking of practical&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Practical Yogic Sex Tips\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get it on before you eat, or wait for at least 3 hours after. After you eat, your body is focused on digestion, not pleasure. Eating, especially a big meal, can create a feeling of heaviness in the body, that is frankly, not sexy. Besides, the last thing you want to be worrying about is ripping one, while you\u2019re having sweet time with your honey.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prioritize quality over quantity. Yes you can have both, but there\u2019s too much \u201cjunk food sex\u201d, and instant gratification out there. So slow down, and allow yourself to feel the details in every moment.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sex is relaxation. It\u2019s a simple equation: Stress creates tension, and tension blocks pleasure. The more you can relax into the moment, the more you\u2019ll enjoy sex, and thus- be more relaxed. Relaxtion allows your body to be more open, and feel more safe, which leads to better sex. It\u2019s one of the best (if not the best) wellness tools out there.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Do Try it at Home<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If yogic sex tools are new to you, try a simple exercise by sitting crossed legged. Deeply inhale into your pelvic bowl. As you exhale, lightly engage your pelvic floor muscles to create a \u201clock\u201d. As you inhale again, allow these muscles to relax. Feel the contrast between relaxation and engagement, and allow the increased sensitivity and sensation to wash over you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>When a yogic way of living becomes integrated into your daily life, everything becomes a spiritual practice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or at the very least more mindful. If your sex life has felt a little dull lately, try brings these tips and philosophies into the bedroom. You can thank me later.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While there are countless different lineages, traditions, and forms of Yoga, there lies a common thread between them all.
