Nude Yoga - A Way to Improve Your Sex Life and Satisfy Your Partner

If you find it hard to be naked in front of your loved one, don't have enough flexibility, are embarrassed to keep the lights on while making love or can't last as long as you would like, let's face it... your sex life is hindered. But not to worry. There are things you can do to improve your sex appeal. One of them is to start practicing yoga - naked. Why naked, you ask? Nude yoga has many benefits...

Practicing yoga naked is a way to get in touch with your body and the intimate parts of yourself. Nude yoga can help improve your sex life, thus increasing the level of satisfaction experienced by your partner.

In nude yoga, you start by taking off your clothes consciously and mindfully, creating a sacred space for your practice. You honor the preciousness of your body and of those bodies around you. There is no judgment, no competitiveness. Only appreciation for the naked body.

At first, you may be distracted by the notion of practicing yoga in the nude. With regular practice, you can overcome this and other anxieties, which directly relate to your ability to let go when having sex.

The main objective during your sessions of naked yoga is to help you feel free in your body. You learn to appreciate your physical body - it's beauty and imperfections. When you feel good about your body, you are less inhibited during sex.

Yogis believe sexuality is stored in the hips and pelvis. Poses like Bound Angle (where you sit on the floor with the soles of your feet touching) and Wide-Legged Forward Bend increase blood flow to the hips and pelvis, enhancing your sexual sensitivity and pleasure.

Yoga postures improve sex by strengthening the core muscles around the genitals, thus increasing sensation, duration and comfort. When are you are in a posture, place your awareness on the perineum, the muscle between the genitals and anus. Learning to isolate the perineum increases your sexual pleasure and that of your partner.

“I can keep it harder way longer than I used to and, my yoga practicing girlfriend now squeezes tighter and longer,” says a male yoga student.

Postures that require you to lift your perineum can strengthen the pelvic-floor muscles the way Kegel exercises do. The intensity of your orgasms heighten as you become more aware of how to manipulate this muscle.

Also, yoga poses make you more flexible and increase your endurance. Imagine what you could do if your hips were less tight and your back bend was perfected.

How does nude yoga help improve your sex life?

• Increases flexibility so you can easily flow into challenging positions
• Builds your strength and stamina
• Makes you more confident in and out of bed
• Helps open your body
• Taps into your sexual energy
• Allows you to feel free and enjoy your body

Yoga teaches self-acceptance. If you love your body, you are more comfortable naked and less inhibited during sex. Feeling at ease with your body and bending it in different ways is sexy.

Iyengar: The focus of Iyengar yoga is on body alignment. Props such as blocks and straps allow beginners to flow in asanas more easily. As oppose to moving quickly from pose to pose, Iyengar focuses on holding poses over long periods.

Hatha: Hatha is a general term that embodies all forms of yoga. Courses defined as Hatha Yoga are generally slower and more gentle, making it another great course for beginners.

Vinyasa: A term that means breath-synchronized movement, Vinyasa is based on a series of poses called Sun Salutations. The focus is on the breath during the salutations, connecting it with the muscles that are being challenged and stretched.

Kundalini: One of the purposes of Kundalini yoga is to free energy in the lower body by moving it up. Kundalini uses fast, repetitive movements and the breath to move deeper into each pose.

Bikram: Bikram yoga is practiced in a heated room (95-100 degrees), which allows for every muscle to relax and deepen into the series of 26 poses. With the room hot and humid, sweat pours from every pore, cleansing the body of impurities.

Ashtanga: For the more experienced yoga student, Ashtanga is a series of fast-paced poses that are always practiced in the same order. It is a demanding practice, sometimes referred to as Power Yoga, with non-stop flow from pose to pose.

Tantra: Perhaps the most misunderstood yoga style, Tantra is not about sexual indulgence. Rather, it deals with discovering and stimulating sensual spirituality. It works with the highly charged kundalini energy and therefore should always be guided by a teacher.
