Better Sex Through Yoga: Easy Routines to Boost Your Sex Drive by Jacquie Noelle Greaux
“Bring the ancient practice of yoga from the mat into the bedroom—with electrifying results!”

Yoga’s sexual philosophy says that to get sexual pleasure your mind and body should remain in a rejuvenated state and this rejuvenation could be only brought about by various yoga practices. These yoga practices include all forms of yoga- be it asana, pranayama or dhyana.

Various sexual dysfunctions could be effectively cured by yoga. Yoga even offers cure for male impotency. Because of yoga’s efficacy in improving your sexual life, it is being practised by a good number of folks with the sole purpose of enhancing sexual drive. But Yoga never advocates excess of sex. It sticks to the conventional concept that the act of sex is primarily meant for procreation.

Among various types of Yoga, Tantra Yoga is said to be very much linked with sex. Tantra Yoga was a preferred practice in ancient India to better your sexuality. The ancient Indian guide of sex, Kamasutra, has advocated usefulness of Tantra Yoga for enhanced level of sexual pleasure. This practice of Tantra Yoga has recently gone through a renaissance as more and more folks prefer it over Viagra and other medications to gain the desired level of erection.

The asanas of Tantra Yoga bring in the required physiological changes to propel more release of sexual hormones. These hormones in turn help gain the desired sexual potency. In addition to this, Tantra Yoga also contributes to increased flexibility and freshness. These factors combined together serve a unified purpose, that is to better your sexual life. Kamsutra offers around sixty yoga positions for ideal sex. These sexual positions have been proved effective in solving marital discord arising out of sexual dissatisfaction. Thus Yoga could be a very effective way of improving your conjugal relationship.

Various yoga breathing techniques are particularly helpful in bettering you for sex. These breathing techniques along with Hot Yoga asana would enable you with overpowering sexual potential. So, gear up and make the best use of yoga poses to enjoy a healthy and better sex life.

Terms such as yogalates often seem to be a typical fitness con/fad designed to make a quick buck from poorly advised people looking to lose weight. At first, I thought that the term yogalates was a complete joke. To start with, many of the exercises in Pilates are taking directly from various schools Yoga. Yoga is essentially a form of stationary exercises and stretches aimed at improving balance, strength and flexibility. Pilates was developed to help hospitalised patients to build strength while still bed-bound.

So what does Yogalates have to offer, which traditional yoga, or Pilates, classes cannot? All it actually does is strip down both yoga and Pilates to their core exercises, which work the abdomen, and upper body. The easiest way to learn is from a yogalates instructor, although they are hard to find. A good alternative, especially if you have had some yoga or Pilates experience, is to learn from a video.

The Yogalates DVD shows how to harness the health benefits of Yoga and Pilates. Yogalates for Weight Loss is the ultimate low-impact workout for those wanting to slim down, tone up and lose weight safely. It not only targets the tummy and upper body, sculpting the arms and toning the abs, but also targets the lower body, tightening the buttocks, shaping the legs and aiding all over toning. Follow this award-winning programme at least three times a week, and you’ll see a noticeable difference within a month. For even faster results, a 15 minute ‘Instant Abs’ routine is included for an intensive abdominal workout. Of course, what Yoga plan would be complete without a guided body relaxation to help you unwind?

Alternatively the book Yogalates: the breakthrough workout that combines the best of yoga and pilates, by Louise Solomon, is described as a brilliant combination of the gentle stretch of yoga and the core-building strength of Pilates. Yogalates is quite simply the perfect East meets West fitness answer for just about everyone. Everything a beginner needs to know is shown in dozens of color photographs, from body basics and breathing essentials to six complete and easy-to-follow workout plans. This total toning program will kick start the abs, work the waist, shoulders and arms, tighten the butt and thighs, training every muscle. There’s even a resistance series and dynamic stretching.

In-depth information explains how to control your breathing, find the proper alignment, master the principles of movement and coordination, build endurance, prevent injury, and activate the core muscles. Each series of exercises is laid out clearly, simply, and logically, which when taken together absolutely transform any body into something beautiful. There’s no better way to reach your ultimate goal.

So Yogalates really is a good combination of the schools of Yoga and Pilates. It takes the best exercises and teaching from each school to create a workout that is more intense, which aims to provide quicker results. You can learn more about yoga, pilates and yogalates at MotleyHealth.com.
