12 Yoga Poses That Will Make Sex Better

Because yoga always makes sex better, ladies. (A yoga mat is recommended, but there are softer surfaces *cough*)

1. Downward Facing Dog

How to: On all fours, use your palms and push up, lifting your knees off the floor and straightening your legs so that your tailbone is lifted toward the ceiling. Relax your neck as you press your palms and feet into the floor.

This move pushes the limits of overall flexibility in your legs and back, strengthening them. It's very sexy because you are in an erotic position because your butt is poised in the air.

2. The Butterfly

How to: Sitting upright, bring the soles of your feet together and relax your knees. It's okay if your knees do not touch the floor. Place your hands on your ankles and lean forward.

The pose pulls, stretching your hips and groin, opening them up for a wider range of motion and helping blood flow in the pelvic area. The relaxation of the pose will also help release anxiety and increase the sense of intimacy.

3. Plank

How to: You get into the position for push-ups. Keep your arms straight and your stomach tight. Pop your butt a little bit rather that keeping your body a straight line. It’s strenuous to keep your body entirely straight.

Doing this move helps build up strength for more sizzling sex sessions.

4. Bridge

How to: Lay on your back with your knees propped up and hips width apart with your hands at your sides, palms down. Then push your hips up toward the ceiling, arching your back.

The pose stretches and opens up your hips and back for those more flexible positions.

5. Cow/Cat

How to: Start out on hands and knees, with shoulders directly above your wrists and hips over your knees. Inhale, and slowly arch back, lifting chest and tailbone up toward the ceiling (cow). From here, exhale and round your back up, contracting your stomach (cat). Don't rush these poses.

These simple yoga poses together help strengthen the muscles that contract during an orgasm(s).

6. The Eagle

How to: Standing up straight, bend your knees some. Wrap your right leg around your left. Raise your arms out in front of you and wrap them around one another so that your palms are pressed together then bend them at the elbows so that they are perpendicular to the floor. Make sure your hips and chest remain squared.

This move has its own entry in the Kama Sutra. Releasing from the pose causes blood to flood through your body in a pleasant rush, preparing your body, like a pre-sex ritual.

7. Wide Legged Straddle

How to: Sit up straight with your legs out in front of you and then spread your legs widely apart. Keep your toes pointed up at the ceiling and your legs straight. Lean forward at the hips, grabbing your ankles. If you can’t reach your ankles then reach for your shins.

Another beautiful groin stretcher.

Do not try to force yourself to reach beyond your ability. It will be extremely painful and over stretch your groin, making sex slightly painful rather than fun.

8. One Legged Pigeon

How to: Starting out on all fours, bring your left knee to your right palm and stretch your right leg out behind you in a straight line. From here, lean forward over your leg. Relax in this position for 10 seconds then move back to all fours and do the same for the other leg.

Tension should stay out of the sex bubble and this move is great for releasing just that. Get that tension out of your hips! It doesn’t belong there.

9. Lizard

How to: Starting in plank pose, step your left leg up to the outside of your left hand. Lower your right leg to the floor and make sure to keep it straight and then lower down to your elbows. Be sure to relax your neck and shoulders. You do not need tension there.

This promotes flexibility in the hips and pelvis, helping you have a wider range of motion for those positions that call for your feet to sit by your ears.

10. Plow

How to: Lay down on your back. Pressing your palms into the floor, lift your legs (keeping them together) and butt into the air. From here, lower your legs down over your head. Be sure to keep your legs straight and try not to move your head to avoid injury.

This Increases blood flow and stimulation while also stretching the back for the back bending positions you’re really dying to try out.

11. Child's Pose

How to: Sit in a kneeling position and lean over your knees, laying your chest on your thighs. Rest your arms at your sides.

You can try also wide child’s pose: Kneeling, spread your knees wide and then lean forward, resting your forehead on the floor. Stretch your arms above your head.

Though the move seems pointless, it relaxes your body, making sex more enjoyable rather than a stressful situation you have to power through. Sex should be free and fun and this will help.

12. Last and definitely the best pose

Well, it's more like a move than a pose.

The most common exercise that increases sexual pleasure can be done anywhere. In class, at work, on the couch, anywhere. Contract and release the muscles of your pubic area, holding for five seconds. This helps strengthen those muscles for better orgasms.

There you have it. Go into the world with your body more ready than before.
