Yoga can be a healthy practice for our busy & social media-obsessed lifestyle. Here are 10 yoga poses that can improve your physical, mental, and sexual well-being:
Adho Mukha Svanasana is known for its direct impact on promoting muscle strength, blood circulation, and shoulder mobility. It also helps us improve our posture, flexibility, digestion & menstrual uneasiness.
Bhujangasana stimulates back muscle strength. It also relieves lower back pain, enhances our respiratory functions, tones our abdominal region, improves flexibility in the spines, and reduces overall stress.
Apart from energizing the thyroid gland and increasing pelvic muscle strength, Setu Bandhasana also improves sexual stamina in the human body and promotes better sleep at night.
Balasana triggers relaxing & emotional responses in us to have a positive impact on our mental health. While it reduces stress, Balasana also fixes body posture issues and stimulates blood circulation.
Baddha Konasana stimulates flexibility in our thighs and promotes blood circulation to the pelvis, enhancing sexual comfort and satisfaction. It also reduces menstrual discomfort & strengthens our lower back.
Apart from enhancing spinal flexibility, Marjaryasana-Bitilasana can strengthen our lower back and core. This also indirectly benefits our sexual health and enhances lung capacity.
If you want to be agile, you must have a balanced body, which means your legs and core must be as strong as your other regions. Virabhadrasana II promotes flexibility in the hips and builds core & leg strength.
During menstruation, women experience discomfort in their lower abdomen and back. Paschimottanasana causes the spine to stretch along with the lower back, reducing lower back pain & menstruation discomfort.
Ananda Balasana stretches hips & groin, relieving abdomen discomfort and tension in the lower back. It is also believed that regular groin and hip stretches can increase sexual comfort during intimate moments.
Savasana makes us take deep & conscious breaths, which calms our nervous system and reduces anxiety. Savasana is another form of meditation that helps us increase concentration and encourage mindfulness.
