Sexual yoga1/6/2024 ![]() Sexual yoga is part science, part mindfulness practice, part performance art. In both cases, each can use breath, body-mind awareness, and movement to create a deeper experience for themselves and their lover. Perhaps a woman may not feel safe in expressing herself emotionally or sexually as a child and, therefore, will need to practice amplifying pleasure and feeling through her body as a way to communicate what turns her on. One man might spend most of the day in his head and need to practice bringing breath and awareness to his lower body as a way to ground himself and be a more embodied presence during sex. We all have different biological, epigenetic, physical, and emotional histories. I practice and teach various aspects of all of these, depending on what a person’s nervous system or body-mind might need and what the moment is requiring. Part yogic science, part performance art. Many of the Hindu tantric sutras focus on magnifying devotion of the divine masculine (Shiva) and diving feminine (Shakti) through the practices of embodied love. Taoist traditions tend to stress the relationship between physical health and longevity, while Vajrayana and Kundalini approaches focus on magnifying the masculine and feminine polarities to spark heart openness and a powerful arc of sexual energy. ![]() Each practice may bring slightly varying techniques, but all are interested in using breath, movement, and energy to free massive amounts of untapped energy from the heart and genitals. Similar to traditional yogas, there are multiple lineages dating back thousands of years, including Taoist, Kundalini, Tibetan, tantric, and even Sufi teachings. And it is one of the best-kept health and wellness secrets on the planet. And more often than not, at amounts much greater than we ever thought possible. In short, we can learn to conduct massive amounts of love and sexual energy through our nervous systems and bodies. We can also use these ancient yogic and meditative technologies to unwind years of body-mind trauma, closure, and tension that have inhibited our sex lives. We can choose to gift our partners at any moment with the exact flavor or nutrient they need to feel most alive and turned on. These various states foster beautiful connection. Through our physical, emotional, and energetic bodies, we can radiate emptiness or fullness, penetration or surrender, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. ![]() We can learn to amplify the polarities of love and consciousness, as well as our innate masculine and feminine essences, in ways that create massive amounts of sexual energy. When we want to turn away or close, we can open deeper. There are ways to relax and breathe open our bodies and hearts at the edges of our intimate capacities. Yogic sexuality: the original hot yoga.Īs in other yogic traditions, in yogic sex there are mudras, movements, ways of breathing, drishti, and kriyas. Let's take a deeper dive into the mystery that is yogic sexuality. The capacity for powerful and incredibly connected sex can absolutely be learned through our bodies and our nervous systems as an intentional physio-emotional practice, aka, a yoga. But the truth is we can create this state of profound openness, depth of connection, and electric charge virtually at will. This often leads to what we know as "hot sex." The common myth is that this kind of sensitivity and connection materializes when we have real "sexual chemistry" with another person. If we pay attention during our greatest, most intimate moments, we will notice there is a breath, a posture, and an internal softening that occurs through the center of our bodies. The energy of love in its many forms-from ecstasy and devotion to the play of dominance and submission-is actually a force of energy that flows through the body in a moment of deep intentionality. Contrary to what we have been taught, love is not something that happens to us when we are face to face with the right person or find ourselves in the right place at the right time.
