While tantric yoga can be your ticket to truly cosmic sex (the Kama Sutra, anyone?), it may not be something you can see yourself doing in a class or studio.
The good news is that the more familiar form of yoga — sun salutations, inverted poses — can also bring you to the heights of sexual
That’s right. Not only can you grow in strength, peace, and beauty; you can also grow in sexual prowess through your yoga practice.
Any way you bend it, you’ll look and feel better

The verdict is in: Yoga makes for fantastic sex. Now that’s a position you should get yourself into!
