Sometimes people ask about yoga, particularly certain
postures (downward dog?) and immediately associate what happens on the yoga mat
with the ability to turn oneself into some kind of twisty sex god. Sorry, it’s just not true. I’ve been studying one particular form of
yoga for two years now and so far no one has taken me to a dark temple where I
am taught the wonders of the sexual body by a four armed, blue skinned
goddess. It’s even a tantric form of
yoga, but not an orgy to be found. Mrs.
Yogi has been studying for over a decade, and unless she is hiding something
there does not appear to be a scroll of secret ancient yoga sex moves (although
I am sure I will come up on a lot more internet searches now that I have used
the phrase “secret ancient yoga sex moves”).
Having said that, yoga helps you feel comfortable in your
body, increases flexibility and muscle tone (particularly core strength),
encourages steady breath, allows you to appreciate the beauty in others, and can add to an overall sense of ease and calm for
the day. Read into that what you will.
Post Script: While looking for an image for this post I came across a few funny additions. Maybe there is a reason so many people confuse yoga and sex. It's a shame none of the articles talk about love.
