Five Reasons You Can Thank Yoga for Better Sex

A study published in the December 2008 edition of The Journal of Sexual Medicine showed women who were not satisfied with their sex life experienced heightened arousal and better orgasms when they practiced yoga. And this isn't just for ladies: another study published in the same journal in 2007 showed yoga was the most effective solution for men dealing with premature ejaculation in comparison to Prozac and non-prescription drugs.

1. Heightened Awareness and Concentration
Yoga teaches people to be more aware of their breathing and their bodies while letting go of mental distractions.

2. Greater Flexibility and Strength
Yoga is an excellent fitness tool that not only conditions and strengthens the muscles, but also improves your flexibility range and joint health.

3. A New Kind of Foreplay
If your partner is up to it, add in several minutes of couples yoga before sex as a kind of foreplay.

4. Acceptance and Confidence
One of the priceless benefits yoga offers is a new sense of confidence in one's self. When you realize what you appreciate about yourself, it gives you the freedom to offer more in the bedroom.

5. An Awesome Finale
Well, it all adds up to one thing: better orgasms. Between improved circulation, heightened awareness and more energy, you are primed for a great climax.
