Tantra yoga is a practice that can be used to expand the connection and awareness between a couple, creating a deeper bond spiritually with each other. I enjoy experiencing yoga poses with my husband, as yoga not only deepens our connectedness , but it also recharges our energy and peaceful feelings throughout the day and expands our awareness with each other and the universe.
Here are some simple exercises to try with your partner. Depending on your level of flexibility, you can modify the poses. What’s important is to focus on the connection and time with your partner, and enjoy each other’s presence. Hopefully, you will experience an increased bond within a relaxed state. Start at your comfort level, communicate your different levels of flexibility and endurance, and most of all, practice prolonged eye contact, feeling each other’s touch and positive thoughts about each other in a nonverbal way.
This pose helps align energy between a couple. Have the larger partner sit cross-legged on a comfortable mat. Then, the smaller partner can sit on top of the other partner’s thighs and cross his/her ankles behind the other partner’s back. Use your abdominal and low back muscles to keep straight and aligned with each other. Bring your foreheads together, touching them gently, and breathe deeply and slowly in harmony. You can do this pose with your eyes closed or open.
This pose pictured above, engages the core muscles (lower back and abdominals) and is a fun pose for strengthening and stretching. Face each other sitting on a comfortable floor. Reach for each other’s hands outside of your legs and try to keep eye contact with each other. With bent knees, connect with each other by placing the soles of your feet against your partner’s. Try straightening your legs while moving them upward, keeping the soles of your feet connected. You can modify this pose depending on your flexibility and comfort level. Focus on the touch and eye contact.
This pose focuses on balance and touch, as well as eye contact. I love it, because it makes me feel like I am dancing with my sweetheart. Start standing and facing each other. Hold one of your partner’s hands. Then take your other hand and reach for your ankle or shin. Bring your leg up behind you, gradually and slowly, lean your upper body towards your partner, continuing eye contact. If balance is an issue for you, you can start by having one partner perform the pose while the other holds their hand and upper arm (to assist with balance).
A wonderfully relaxing and sensual position at the end of the evening or beginning of the day is having one partner lie on their back and the other one next to them, slightly above. Look into each other’s eyes. Without speaking words, keep connection with the eyes. Each of you can place the palm of your hand over your partner’s heart and feel each other’s heartbeat; then focus on slow and harmonious breathing. This pose is a great way to deepen the connection with each other and spend quiet time communicating without words. Switch places when you feel ready, so that each of you can experience both positions.
Tantric yoga is a spiritual and sensual way to get more deeply connected with your partner, enhancing soul attraction. Just being in the moment together with no distractions will enhance your relationship . Enjoy the moments.

Self deprecation is the most lethal weapon in any ladykiller's arsenal.
You know what they say: nice guys finish last.
Tips and tricks scientifically proven to prolong sex—and make it better.
This is what the average person knows about tantric sex: It has a tenuous connection to ancient Hinduism and Buddhism, Sting does it, and it lasts for hours . But Tantra is not about a British rock star or henna tattoos. In fact, there are some easy ways you can add tantric sex techniques to your sex life that will make it just a little bit steamier.
Tantric sex dates back thousands of years and is all about accessing a deeper connection between you and your partner. The goal is to feel more pleasure for more extended periods of time. So if you want to have more and better sex , then it's time to get acquainted with some tantric techniques. ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
Even if the mystical and metaphysical aspects are a little much for you, sex educator and coach Barbara Carrellas insists that anyone can reap the benefits of tantric sex. That's why she wrote Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the Twenty-First Century . She wants people to kwnow that tantric techniques are worth exploring even if you don't own tie-dyed garments or believe in the third eye.
Diana Richardson , author of The Heart of Tantric Sex: A Unique Guide to Love and Sexual Fulfillment , agrees that just about anyone can unlock the benefits of tantric sex. The one requirement? A willingness to go outside of your sexual comfort zone.
"Do you choose to do and follow the known and what you have done thousands of time before? Or do you play with the unknown by attempting to bring new elements into the field consciously?" she asks.
If you've gone with Option B, then it's time to explore our beginner's guide to tantric techniques. And they're not as difficult as you might expect. It turns out, sex that feels better and lasts longer is right around the corner.
The first step is simple: Approach Tantra as wholly, as totally, and as consciously as possible. "Tantric sex is focused more on building and following sexual energy than it is on purely physical sensations," says Carrellas.
Following tantric techniques teaches you how to allow increasing levels of sexual energy to build up and flow within yourself, as well as between you and a partner. "By building up all this energy, you can go deeper and farther into any erotic experience ," Carrellas explains.
The second step to reaping the benefits of Tantra is to relinquish any expectations of what might or should happen. "The most ecstatic moments in sex—erotic, emotional, spiritual—happen when the only moment that exists is the one you're currently enjoying," Carrellas says.
"This is one of the reasons that people become so fond of practicing Tantra: It's never the same twice, it's adaptable, and there's always something unique to be found in each new present moment. So it can't possibly get boring !"
In her book Great In Bed , human sexuality expert Debby Herbenick, Ph.D., suggests using rituals to delineate sex as a unique and important event. You shouldn't treat it as a simple thing, like scrolling through Instagram or binge-watching your favorite show.
According to Herbenick, the ritual can be as simple as sharing a bottle of wine, taking a bath together, decorating the space with candles, listening to a carefully-curated playlist, or embracing for several minutes before anything else happens. By doing one or more of these "rituals," you are signaling that what you're about to do—whether alone or with a partner—is special.
Studies have shown that when you eat more slowly and mindfully, you enjoy food much more than you do when you inhale it. Well, the same goes for sex. That's why tantric techniques are all about resisting the urge to sprint towards what we often think of as the best part.
Herbenick writes that slowing things down leads to greater sexual enjoyment . Plus, over time, it will also allow you to better know and master your sexual response, as well as that of your partner. "If either of you climaxes, try and maintain the connection, rather than seeing your orgasm as the end of sex," she writes.
Carrellas points out that those who practice Tantra refer to the phrase "three strokes for 30." It means that it's better to touch three times slowly and with "exquisite consciousness" than 30 times with a lack of attention.
"Breathe more, fuller, deeper, longer," says Carrellas. "Breathe before sex, during sex, and after sex. Breathe like your pleasure, your life, and your imagination depend upon it. They do."
In fact, she maintains that people can have orgasms from breathing alone. (For $15, you can listen to her lesson on how to do so here.)
According to Herbenick, couples who incorporate tantric techniques into their lovemaking often enjoy synchronizing their breathing patterns. "Some tantrics do this with one partner straddling the other, such as by sitting in their lap, facing one another and harmonizing their breathing," she writes.
Eye gazing is one of the most powerful tantric techniques you have at your disposal. "If you've never done it before, you'll probably giggle or feel self-conscious at first," says Carrellas.
But if you try to relax and keep breathing through the giggles, eventually those feelings will die down. "You'll soon drop into a kind of lovely hypnotic intimacy, unlike anything you've felt before," she says.
To help you get there, try playing instrumental music (since "lyrics can be distracting," Carrellas notes) and placing your hand on your partner's heart as they do the same with you.
Present moment consciousness—or mindfulness —makes everything sexier. Carrellas says: "Thoughts like, 'What are we going to do next?' or, 'I wonder if I'm going to be able to have an orgasm,' or 'Will sex today be better (or worse) than it was yesterday?' will take you out of your body and throw you into your anxious monkey mind."
Instead, she suggests asking yourself the kinds of questions that will allow you to connect with what you're feeling. Try thinking, "Where am I feeling my partner most intensely?" and "Where are they feeling me most intensely?"
"All the Tantra techniques I teach are really just tools to create mental, physical, or energetic mindfulness," Carrellas says.
