Some Poses of Sexyoga

Yoga poses for erectile dysfunction.

These yoga poses promote relaxation and blood flow, which can help manage ED.

1. Seated Forward Bend Pose (Paschimottanasana)

This posture is also known as a seated forward bend. It can help relax pelvic muscles that are tense from sitting for long periods of time and promote better blood flow. This pose also works to calm you and relieve mild depression.

Steps to follow:

  1. Sit on your yoga mat with your legs extended in front of you. Use a folded blanket for added support if needed.
  2. Rock slightly to the left, pulling the right sit bone away with your hand. Repeat on the other side.
  3. Inhale and lengthen your upper body.
  4. Lean forward, lengthening your tailbone as you reach towards the floor.
  5. Grab your feet with your hands, fully extending your elbows, or use a yoga strap around your feet for assistance.
  6. Hold the pose for 1-3 minutes, focusing on your breath. Relax and release your body gradually without forcing.

2. Standing Forward Bend (Uttanasana)

Also known as standing forward bend, uttanasana is a staple in many yoga routines. This intense stretch may help you with anxiety. Some say it even helps with infertility while also improving digestion and stimulating the organs in the abdomen.

Steps to follow:

  1. Stand at the head of your mat with your hands on your hips.
  2. Exhale and bend your torso forward, hinging from your hips, focusing on lengthening your torso forward.
  3. Bring your fingers to the floor in front of your feet. Keep your knees straight, or if needed, have a soft bend in the knees.
  4. If you cannot reach the floor, cross your forearms and hold onto your elbows.
  5. Relax into the pose for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  6. Inhale to lift and lengthen your torso slightly, and exhale to relax deeper into the stretch. Ensure your head and neck are relaxed by nodding “yes” and “no” while in the position.

3.Butterfly Pose (Baddha Konasana)

You may have heard this yoga move referred to as Bound Angle Pose or even Butterfly Pose. Along with stretching the inner thighs and groin, it stimulates the prostate gland along with the bladder, the kidneys, and the organs in the abdomen.

Steps to follow:

  1. Sit on your mat with your legs extended in front of you, optionally raising your pelvis onto a blanket for comfort.
  2. Exhale, bend your knees, and pull your heels in toward your pelvis one at a time.
  3. Drop your knees to either side and press the bottoms of your feet together.
  4. Grab your big toes with your first and second fingers or hold your ankles or shins with your hands. Alternatively, bring your arms behind you with your fingers pointing toward the wall behind you.
  5. Hold the pose for 1 to 5 minutes, inhaling and exhaling while lengthening your torso, imagining a string pulling upward from the top of your head.

4. Head-to-Knee Forward Bend (Janu Sirsasana)

Head-to-knee pose is best performed on an empty stomach. It helps with your flexibility, especially in the hamstring muscles, back, thighs, and hips. It also helps with blood flow in the lower abdomen and groin. Along with the physical benefits, it can be a great stress reliever.

Steps to follow:

  1. Sit on your mat with your legs extended out in front of you.
  2. Inhale, bend one knee, and bring your heel toward your pelvis. Rest your sole against your thigh and release your knee toward the floor, using a blanket for support if needed.
  3. Inhale and raise both hands up.
  4. Exhale, hinge forward with a lengthened spine over your extended leg, trying to bring your chin to your knee and clasp your hands around your foot.
  5. Hold the pose for 1 to 3 minutes.
  6. Inhale, raise up with your arms extended overhead, and return to sitting.
  7. Repeat the pose on the other side for balance.

5. Bow Pose (Dhanurasana)

Also known as Bow Pose, this powerful floor move helps to stimulate the reproductive organs and get the blood moving to these areas. It also helps to stretch all the muscles in the front of your body, including the thighs and groin. Bow Pose may even help with your overall posture.

Steps to follow:

  1. Lay facedown on your mat with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides.
  2. Raise your legs behind you while simultaneously lifting your upper body and reaching for your ankles with your hands.
  3. Grasp your ankles and pull your legs up and back, keeping your chest off the floor and maintaining steady contact with the floor through your pelvis.
  4. Hold the pose for 20 to 30 seconds.
  5. Take a few deep breaths, then exhale and release the pose.
  6. Repeat a few more times as desired.
