Yoga for Hotter Sex

Power of the Pelvis
Strengthening one key muscle increases your ability to engage and lift the pelvic floor, bringing you more sensation and control during those hot times.

Sex Rx: Root Lock. You may hear this referred to in Western terms as kegels or by the Sanskrit name Mula Bandha. Seated or standing, simply contract and then release the pubococcygeus muscle located between the pubic bone and the tailbone, as if you wanted to stop the flow of urine. You can even do this at your desk, squeezing and releasing, say, 10 times, at three workday intervals, priming the pump for nighttime activities.


Sex Goddesses Can Go the Distance
Vigorous, shake-the-headboard sex is a strenuous workout. “The better shape you are in, the more pleasure you have with sex and the longer you can do it,” says Kimberly Fowler, owner and founder of Yoga and Spinning Studio in Venice, California.
 
Sex Rx: Yoga Pushups. Start in the pushup position, arms extended. Engage your abs as you lower your body slowly toward the floor. Stop when your torso is about 2 to 3 inches away. Keeping elbows in, hold there for five breaths then lower to the floor. Repeat three times at first and build up to five.
