Yoga, the ancient Indian tradition that incorporates breathing and meditation with posture, is widely practised today. And many people and sexologist in Delhi think that regular yoga practice has sexual benefits.

Here are some of the ways that yoga can improve  sexual function :

– Relaxation. Stress, anxiety and fatigue can make sex difficult or unsatisfactory. Yoga can relax the body and relieve these symptoms.

– Better blood flow to the genitals. For a man, relaxation of the body helps the blood flow to the penis, giving it a  firmer erection. For a woman, greater blood flow to the vagina helps with better sensation and lubrication.

– Potential for better cardiovascular health. Yoga can reduce the risk of heart disease symptoms, such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which can also improve genital blood flow.

– Attention. Yoga focuses on the body and breathing, making the practitioner more aware of these areas. This attention can be useful during sex, too. Focusing on the physical, sensual aspects of sex – and keeping your mind organized – can make sex more enjoyable.

– Flexibility. After practising yoga for a while, the body grows accustomed to different forms of stretching, bending and movement. This can make sex more comfortable. It can also help couples who are experiencing new sexual positions.

– Stronger pelvic floor muscles. Some poses strengthen and tone the pelvic floor muscles, which can lead to more intense orgasms.

Patients who are new to yoga practice should do some research before starting the practice. A professional can help you determine which type of yoga is best. Some patients, such as those with back, neck, or shoulder problems, may need to change positions to suit their needs. A qualified yoga instructor should be able to suggest – and teach – these adjustments.
