While it's easy to associate yoga with striking contortions--think scorpion and wheel--the practice can also enhance your intimate encounters (and we're not just talking flexibility here). That's because sex and yoga are a divine pairing. At once physical and emotional, uplifting and challenging, they both use the body to calm the mind and stimulate the spirit. And just as a fulfilling yoga practice is based on physical agility, mental clarity, and spiritual openness, every successful sexual union relies on a similar set of artfully orchestrated characteristics. "When you start thinking of sexual energy as sacred, things begin to shift," says Kevin Courtney, a yoga teacher based in New York City. In other words, bringing increased awareness and sensitivity into each sexual experience will enhance your pleasure.

What crap. That is not yoga.

This is yoga:

"One should hold one"s body, neck and head erect in a straight line and stare steadily at the tip of the nose. Thus with an unagitated, subdued mind, devoid of fear, completely free from sex life, one should meditate upon Me within the heart and make Me the ultimate goal of life." - Krishna, http://vedabase.net/bg/6/13-14/

"Hey, let's make a promotional video for our yoga book."

"Right, like anyone will watch that."

"Well, if we pretend it's all about sex, that might help."

"Yeah, but how will we pay to advertise this sexy video?"

"If we make it really, really stupid--like mindbogglingly stupid--Gawker will post it for free!"

"Excellent!"

The purpose of yoga is too increase your chi (life energy) and free its flow. This also happens to be your sexual energy. Which, also happens to be your creative/artistic energy. It's all one and the same. This is also why monks and nuns (Christian and Buddhist as well as Hindu ascetics) practice celibacy: to "save" that energy for spiritual work. Let it flow~~~.

The energy centers are linked through the spine, starting at the base where our sex organs are. If you think Yoga is just about stimulating that area so you can get off more, you do the antient art a disservice and miss the point. The point being that we need to get out of our reptilian, lower energy field conscienceness, and climb the ladder to the divine self.

"Live up thine eyes my children, and behold the lord, right there before, and within you."

Yoga awakens us to our potential, and meditation begins the conversation with God.

Love that picture on the front page.

Reminds me of when I used to tell people to EMBO -- now I can Eat My (own) Butt Out with this technique, not to mention what I couldn't do before because my neck was too short.

Now I can ensure my own happy endings -- literally :-))

LOL

Yeah, you and rextrek. then you'd discover why so many women don't wanna do it. Unless of course, you already know all about it. Its all a matter of taste, literally.

Do what? You lost me, NSN. Are you talking about eating ones own butt out? Who would eat their own butt, besides maybe a starving hobo riding the conjunction junction line? I wouldn't. Well, I say that now, but you're right...under dire circumstances, if it was required for survival, etc.
