We all know yoga offers several benefits to both the body and mind, but did you know it is the secret to a steamy session in the bedroom? Yes, you heard it right. That’s because yoga is known to reduce stress levels in the body, and that means less cortisol levels. When you are perpetually stressed, your sexual desire goes for a toss. All in all, when you practice yoga, you also become more aware of your body and even your partner’s, helping you understand what both of you like and dislike.

There’s evidence to prove this claim. A 2009 study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine observed that yoga can improve sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, and overall sexual satisfaction. Why may you ask? That’s because yoga increases circulation to the pelvic region, and activates and engages the body’s core, and increases oxygen levels in the body. Everything put together helps you reach the big O. And we anyway know, it is not easy for women to reach an orgasm, unlike men who climax much faster. 

And guess what? There are several yoga poses that are more beneficial than the rest. Want to find out? Well, here are three yoga poses that can help you orgasm: 

1. Dhanurasana or bow pose

This yoga pose is particularly helpful when it comes to achieving a stronger orgasm. This asana is also great to overcome your disinterest in sex. That’s because it rushes the blood to your genital area, and boosts your libido.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Lie down on your stomach with your feet a little apart, almost parallel to your hips. Have your arms on the side of your body.
2. Next, fold your knees up and hold your ankles with your hands.
3. Breathe in and lift your chest off the ground, and pull your legs up and stretch it out.
4. You should experience the stretch on your arms and thighs.
5. Hold the pose for 12-15 seconds, and take long, deep breaths alongside.
6. Bring your chest and legs back to the ground, release your hold on the ankles, and relax with your hands on the side.
7. Repeat several times.

2. Parsvakonasana or warrior II pose

This yoga pose not just strengthens your pelvic floor muscles, but also helps with your sexual hormones. And that means you’re going to have some great control over orgasms!
