Better Sex Through Yoga

How yoga can improve your sex life

Everyone has that one friend who tells them about the one thing that will change their life. There’s the cannabis devotee, the devout vegan, the Peloton guru – you get the idea. And then there’s the pal who inevitably extols the virtues of yoga, quick to regale you with all of the benefits you’ll reap once you start a regular practice. Yes, we have that friend too.

While we get that it can sometimes be a pain to have to listen while your friend drolls on about their newest obsession, your yoga-obsessed pal may be onto something. The reason? There are some well-documented ways that doing yoga can literally improve your sex life. Skeptical? So were we, but not anymore – here are the legitimate ways yoga can improve your sex life.

Yoga can increase flexibility

While many folks will comfortably default to sex positions like missionary and doggy style (no judgments!), there’s an entire smorgasbord of positions out there for you and your partner. Not surprisingly, some of them require good flexibility, whether it’s the way your legs are spread or the angle required to hit the sweet spot. Fortunately, a regular yoga practice can help you become more flexible, which in turn will increase the possible positions you can pretzel into.

Yoga can make you stronger

Speaking of positions, in addition to flexibility, there are plenty of poses that demand a good deal of strength from one or both partners during sex. So if you want to be able to finally master the wheelbarrow position, or get it on right against the wall like they do in the movies, yoga can help you make those sexy dreams a reality. That’s because yoga can increase strength in your arms, legs, and core, which translates into more marathon sex sessions in the bedroom - and outside of it.

Yoga can decrease exhaustion and stress

Feeling burnt out? Honestly, who hasn’t at some point in a COVID-19 world? If feels like we’re doing more and more, and still can’t keep up with the demands without feeling like there’s no more gas left in the tank. So you may as well make time for a yoga practice, which can help you feel less tired and process the stressors in your life. As a bonus, you’ll be in a better mood and have more energy for what really deserves your time and energy: date night.

Yoga can improve your body image

It’s no secret that the more confidence you have and the better you feel about yourself, the better sexual partner you’ll be. After all, it’s no fun being intimate when you’re constantly thinking about all of your imperfections to the point of distraction. So if you’re looking to improve your body image, boost your confidence with a yoga practice. Once you’ve mastered feeling good about your body, you can put it to work for the powers of good. Trust us, your partner will thank you!
