Yoga is the buzzword now, especially with the PM of the country endorsing it. And there is more to it’s benefit than its’ impact on your physical and mental well being. Did you know that yoga can turn you into a master in bed? Yes, there are a number of asanas that help improve blood circulation and strengthen muscles in the pelvic area, making you swift and smooth in bed. The benefits of yoga in enhancing sexual energy and libido (especially in men) is all documented. Asanas such as surya namaskar and the ones that require pelvic lifts improve blood circulation, which in turn improves your sexual function. “Look it is fairly simple. Asanas help you become more flexible and that helps you maneuver smoothly in bed. The pelvic lifts and the tightening of muscle around that area makes you great in bed,” says Ranjit Kumar, a yoga enthusiast.

Here are some asanas that you should look at:

Ustrasana:

Baddh Konasana

Setu Bandhasana:
