Yoga For Better Intimacy & Relationships

Yoga For Better Intimacy & Relationships

Having a wonderful intimate physical relationship can be one of the most important parts of an adult life.

Sadly, too often it works less well than you may like. Even worse, it’s a topic that’s often too taboo to talk about.

Or people feel there’s little that can be done about making it work better, or what to do to create a healthy relationship.

But you can change this situation for yourself or others close to you, or both.

In case you’re feeling resigned about it, some of the reasons why physical intimacy is important include:

• Many relationships will ultimately break up if the physical intimacy doesn’t work
• Physical hugging and cuddling generate oxytocin. This hormone has many important life benefits.
• Close relationships are linked in research with better health, and a relationship often lasts longer when both people feel close.
• Physical intimacy not only makes you feel great, but has many surprising and important health benefits.

Yoga is one more tool for looking after yourself and the people close to you.

Remember, emotional intimacy & physical intimacy is helped by yoga, and the yoga of relationships. Many students find it a calm, friendly way to look after themselves, and it can sit alongside counselling.

Yoga Improves Physical & Emotional Intimacy!

You probably don’t need persuading about the benefits of physical intimacy!

But you may not know how yoga improves it, and helps stop some key factors in relationship anxiety.

For Men: Research says a 2010 pilot study of 65 men aged 24 to 60 (Journal of Sexual Medicine, DOI) found higher scores for desire, satisfaction, performance, confidence, partner synchronisation, control and orgasm after 12 weeks of yoga. There was no comparison group, so it shows a link, not proof.

Many men now do yoga, so check it out with Flametree’s HALF price Beginner Yoga 10 Class Pass.

For Women: Research shows a 2009 pilot study of 40 women aged 22 to 55 (Journal of Sexual Medicine, DOI) found better scores for desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain after 12 weeks of yoga, most of all in women over 45. Again there was no comparison group.
