Yoga and Sex

Yoga sex as it will be discussed on this page refers to how you can improve your sex life through yoga. This discussion does not concern using specific yoga sex positions.

Although many of the yoga positions explained on this page, and in our many articles about yoga located at the bottom of this page, can indeed be used to dramatically spice up your sex life!

When you improve your spiritual and physical self, through yoga or many other methods, you will without a doubt have a better sex life.

Now contrary to what many people believe, the true yoga practitioners are no more against the pleasures of sex than they are food even though some of the elder sages do live on a lofty spiritual plane where all aspects of yoga sex techniques have ceased to matter.

On the contrary, Yoga, being a philosophy singularly free of both Puritanism and hypocrisy, its disciples recognize the yoga sex urge for the healthy instinct it is and would consider any attempt at its suppression profoundly unhealthy.

In other words, yoga and sex do go together.

Suppression and denial of yoga sex improvements can lead only to physical upsets and mental harm. But the Yogis are steeped in the general Eastern attitude which is simply that sexual impulses, yoga sex etc., like any other natural urges, may be used to either good purpose or evil, depending on ourselves.

If yoga sex is made synonymous with physical love-the carnal side of deep and genuine emotion-it becomes a supremely meaningful and beautiful expression of the man-woman relationship, the ultimate union.

The Hindu believe that woman is the complementary part of man, a gift from heaven, man's soul companion and helpmate, and that union must be not only mental and spiritual, but physical.

Marriage is entered upon in an attitude of humility, with full recognition of its solemnity.

In fact, one of the basic Hindu yoga sex writings, the Kama Sutra, is an elaborate treatise on the philosophy and etiquette of love, courtship and yoga sex behavior, both male and female, detailed in a manner which our best modern manuals on marriage techniques do not begin to approach.
