Sex and Yoga: Find out how ancient practices can enhance your pleasure

The look of your beloved makes you tremble and creates a feeling of intimacy between you during sex. Leave enough light to see each other. Maintain such a distance that you can feel your partner's breathing and look directly into each other's eyes. “Combine this with rhythmic breathing,” Patrick reminds, “and your arousal will increase.”

Are you choking with passion? Focus on your breathing. “Listen to how your partner breathes during intimate moments and try to breathe in rhythm with him. This will give you an incredible sense of closeness and togetherness and will incredibly enhance your sensations,” advises yoga instructor Patrick Mason from Las Vegas.

Don't be afraid of poses that require stretching or effort, such as vertical ones. Follow the rule: “If you are not sweating, it means you were doing something wrong.”

Those who practice yoga often leave their mat with more confidence. Regular exercise improves self-esteem. Try to maintain the same confidence in the bedroom. “Everything that you are proud of about yourself, take it to bed with you. And leave all unnecessary complexes at the door,” recommends instructor Mandy Beauman from South Carolina.

“Agree to walk around the house naked on certain days while you do mundane things like laundry or dishes,” suggests Florida-based instructor Christina Lewis. “Play with each other’s bodies in between.” This will increase your self-confidence and teach you to feel better about your body, and playfully touching and stroking each other in the most ordinary, non-sexual circumstances will increase your mutual attraction.

Doing yoga together can bring a lot of benefits to your life together. This is not only a good joint hobby and an opportunity for recovery, but also a kind of team building for your couple. "If you do yoga together, it helps you develop skills to collaborate with each other," says yoga instructor Lara Fahlberg from Ohio.

And, of course, joint practice at home can lead to yoga asanas smoothly flowing into Kama Sutra poses.
