Nathalie L 112512 Report post Posted October 1, 2011 As a yoga instructor, Thai masseuse, and avid yoga practitioner, I find this article particularly interesting. Thanks for posting it, WiT! If I may speak about my personal experiences, yoga has definitely helped my sex life. However, it hasn't helped me strengthen my kegel muscles and achieve 'better' orgasms, although this is one of the side effects of a rigorous practice. Rather, and I would argue more importantly, yoga has taught me to breathe, and be fully present during all my experiences. It's interesting, because the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (the pre-cursor to Hatha and Astanga yoga mentioned in the article) discuss the importance of sexual abstinence. Something not even mentioned in the article itself! Let's just say it's a good thing I'm not that far along my practice ;) (oh, and P.S., did you all know that most women go commando in their lululemon shorts?)

I will now regard such apparel in an entirely new light. Mind you, how do you validate that observation scientifically without being arrested?

loopie 15358 Report post Posted October 1, 2011 I am a man and I've been doing yoga for a couple years and now and I really like it. It helps me relax and it is very good for preventing and correcting damage to your body, especially your back. In many ways it is like self-massage, it helps loosen muscle tightness that a lot of us develop because of our work or lifestyle. You also develop small muscle groups and better balance; this helps prevent injury and aches by taking strain off larger muscle groups. As for sexual benefits, I haven't noticed them in any obvious direct way. But when you have better bloodflow circulation and less strain from muscle tightness/aches, you are bound to be more in the mood for sexual activities. It has definately helped my energy levels, mental alertness, and sense of balance and I would recommend it. There are lots of different types of yoga, and bigger studios such as Rama Lotus offer a very wide variety of classes fairly regularly. Some emphasize flexiblity, others balance, others strength building. So there's a yoga class for everyone's needs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qwertyaccount 15793 Report post Posted October 1, 2011 Sorry, I was expeciting "Yogi-ism's" - quotes from Yogi Berra. In case anyone else was to, I've provided some so you won't be disappointed: A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore. All pitchers are liars or crybabies. Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours. Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken. Even Napoleon had his Watergate. Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. He hits from both sides of the plate. He's amphibious. How can you think and hit at the same time? I always thought that record would stand until it was broken. I just want to thank everyone who made this day necessary. I never blame myself when I'm not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn't my fault that I'm not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? I never said most of the things I said. I think Little League is wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house. I wish I had an answer to that because I'm tired of answering that question. I'm a lucky guy and I'm happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary. I'm not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did. If people don't want to come out to the ball park, nobody's gonna stop 'em. If the world was perfect, it wouldn't be. If you ask me anything I don't know, I'm not going to answer. And in case you were looking for Yogi-ism's from Yogi Bear: Yogi Bear: Boo Boo, you've tried to stop my brilliant ideas with common sense a thousand times. Has it ever worked? Boo Boo: No. Yogi Bear: Then... let's go-go-go!. Yogi Bear: Just sit back and let Mother Nature carry us toward her own. Boo Boo: I think Mother Nature is kind of cranky today.. Yogi Bear: It's because I'm smarter than the average bear.. Yogi Bear: I'm so smart and it hurts.. Yogi Bear: [On the Ranger's phone] Hello? Hello? Is this the White House? Ranger Smith: Yogi! Yogi Bear: Hey, the President knows my name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Code Blue 3585 Report post Posted October 1, 2011 I bet you've a collection of Bush-isms too, but that's a hijack I suspect. I met a Yoga instructor once who had a rope hanging from her ceiling and a funny looking hammock thing at the end. I gather her hubby quite liked her to sit over him in it. Some "Tantric" activity I presumed. I never got a demonstration myself :icon_cry: CB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
