Yoga for Hotter Sex: Chaturanga Dandasana

In this series, we're bringing you the best yoga poses for better sex. The third pose in this series is Chaturanga Dandasana.

Sexual Being

No one wants to be in the throes of hot and heavy love making and have to stop because they couldn’t keep their plank up. Arm strength and core integration are important fitness determining factors and they give us the ability to glide through the delights of sex.

Chaturanga Dandasana is the yogi push-up, and if you do it consistently and maintain good form, it will give you the endurance to go all night long.

Riding The Wave

If you can’t get into and out of a solid plank during a vinyasa practice, you are going to feel like a fish out of water. The reality for any yoga practice is not just having flexible hips or an open chest, you also need the strength to hold your body weight off of the floor. I call this kind of strength riding the wave because virtually every transition we make physically, both on and off the mat, requires the deep inner power built from holding planks and plank push-up.

When we are rolling around in the sheets that same power is translated into the supple, rhythmic flow we know as incredible sex, plank literally gives us the ability to extend our pleasure.

Can I Plank You

There are few postures better suited for holistic body awareness and strength than a plank. The combination of alignment in the upper torso with inner thigh and deep core strength, make plank push-ups revolutionary for solidifying the mind-body connection. As you hold the top of a plank or transition into the plank push-up, muscles throughout the physique are both lengthening and bearing weight, eccentric contraction. In particular the obliques, rectus muscles and psoas minor work to stabilize the spine. While the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings work to keep the lower body stable. In the upper body, there is a similar synergy between the activation of the pectoral muscles and muscles like the serratus anterior in the upper back.

Synergy is the key element here, stabilization of the form leads directly to the ability to transition fluidly. In the bedroom, you and your partner will appreciate incredible pelvic endurance.

Sex

Hot sex is creative sex, especially if you have been doing it with the same person for a long time. Plank can definitely earn you the right to get creative (think acro yoga). Not everyone wants to swing from the rafters, but most of us can appreciate the steady rhythm that comes from a lover that embodies the experience.

Passionate love play is as much about a body primed for the experience as it is about feeling the passion. So the next time you are in plank, remind yourself that you are riding the wave toward more pleasure on and off the mat.

Tip: If you have difficulty holding your body weight off the floor, then lightly drop the knees to the mat to reduce the load on the shoulders and upper back. The mechanics of the movement in the upper body should be consistent. Chest should be open as you gaze forward with your elbows in and your core and legs strong. Never drop the upper torso below the level of the elbows or sag into the hips. As you grow stronger push away from the floor to learn to float through your push-up.

Yoga for moms

                                          

Yoga for moms

yoga for moms ,yes yoga can be also for mothers in fact mothers needs yoga for their health and their fitness
so, for more informations read the article.

Yoga and to be mother:
There’s all this type about Yoga that I didn’t fully understand before – what’s all this clamor about Yoga for pregnancy?? What’s the big deal? You have a big thing, to retch half the time, have a sudden liking for pickle and have to wear your husband’s clothing….you need Yoga to help you deal with all that?

But of course, I only began the understand the benefits of Yoga as a mother when I started going for the classes, read about yoga in books, magazines and websites. This amazing method can help mothers to gain their physical power and sends them into a journey of self-discovery and improvement. Instead of helping you deal with others, in Yoga, everything starts from within. Therefore, to solve a problem, you have to go inside.

And inside a women or mother, it’s always a battle zone…and it’s loud half the time. What kind of mother will I be? Will I sprain my own child’s fingers when I try to put his/her clothes on? With the kind of bizarre thinking (and hormones) going on inside our mind and our body, mothers often have a  difficulty finding peace. Your doctor will tell you time and time again  and taking rest that although nutrition is important, finding peace, quiet and calm in yourself and in your life is just important for an expectant mother.

Yoga for the regular mother
Considering the fact that Yoga can help bring calm into calamity, it’s obviously a good choice for you to try out Yoga if you’re thinking of starting an exercise program. Better yet, join a gym…which is what I did. I used to scoff at people who join gyms and judging from the loud dance music, I remember thinking to myself… “Yikes…gym is just a sorry excuse for a disco. Instead of serving peanuts, they serve fruit mixes. Instead of alcohol, they serve bottled water. But everyone’s trying to get into a social thing in the gym. It’s a social club!”

And as a mom, I don’t have enough time to join a social club.

But I was wrong. As soon as I gave the 10-day free classes trial, I was hooked. No makeup, no dressup (oh, the younger gym-goers still dress up to the nines and apply mascara for gym) and no pretense. I go to the gym and attend the Yoga class to sweat  the first time– to end up looking ugly but feeling almost good!

Mothers can open up their minds and free up their hearts after Yoga classes
Yoga has this tranquilizing effect on people that can hardly be explained with words. It has to be felt. It’s like you’re striking those poses, stretching those muscles and bending over backwards…and all this while, your mind is opening up and all impure thoughts are just flying out of it.

Yoga can be like ‘taking out the trash’.

And this can be great for the whole family, especially the kids, as well. After a session of uninterrupted Yoga, you’ll feel renewed. Even a grumpy, sleeping, tired and beaten-out mother will have more energy to spend time with the kids. Instead of feeling disgruntled and trapped, a mother can use Yoga to actually find an opening, a release that helps relax, not only the body, but the mind as well.

I don’t know about you…but I am going for more classes because I have seen the benefits. Yoga can do a whole lot for the ordinary non-married kidless people….imagine what it can do for a mother.

what does mean Hatha Yoga ?

what does mean Hatha Yoga ?

Hatha yoga isa kind of an ancient hindu system of working with the human nervous system. Because it releases tension and endows one with renewed power, far too many 20th century people, yoga teachers included, have come to look upon the venerable Indian physical science as solely an exercise for health and vitality of mind and body. It is that, but it is also much more. Hatha yoga practices are more spiritual than physical, more subtle than gross, more a means of understanding than an exotic way to relieve stress or limber up the body.

The sages who developed hatha yoga designed it as a way to gain conscious control  life energies, a way to go within, to harmonize the external so the innermost Self could be encountered. To them, it was about states of consciousness, about living a divine life, and it was a preparation for meditation.

As you perform the asanas, concentrate on feeling the energies within the nerve currents. Sensitize yourself to knowing when the body has been in each position long enough to tune the nerve currents involved. Then shift smoothly into the next asana. It's like a dance, a deliberate, fluid dance. During all postures, inhale using the diaphragm, not the chest muscles. Do not stretch unduly or force the body. Relax into the poses. Don't worry if you can't perform them all perfectly. In time, you will find the body becoming more flexible and supple. Free the mind of thoughts and tensions. You will be more aware, more alive, more serene.

While there are many more complex hatha yoga routines, these twenty-four asanas provide a balanced system for daily use. For the simple purpose of quieting the mind in preparation for meditation, this is all you will ever need. For best results, hatha yoga should be taught personally by a qualified teacher. These instructions and drawings are meant only as a rudimentary aid. For more elaborate regimens, inquire at a recognized school specializing in hatha yoga.

The scene of hatha yoga has a spiritual purpose - to balance physical and physic power in preparation for meditation and relaxation. It is not only meant to make us young, beautiful or creative, but to aid us in quieting the mind, body and emotions that we may awaken enlightened consciousness & know the Self within.

How to Start practicing Yoga?

How to Start practicing Yoga?

You can get audio or video steps that give breathing instruction and teach relaxation techniques at health food stores, bookstores, and by mail order. It's probably fine to learn breath and meditation from a tape or booklet, but don't try the yoga exercises without a skilled teacher. He or she can make corrections, caution you when necessary, and help you to adapt poses, if you need to.

It will be worth it to you to spend a little time finding an instructor who is right for you. Your diabetes nurse educator or other health care professional may be able to recommend a yoga instructor. Get referrals for a yoga instructor as you would for any professional you might wish to consult.

Yoga instructors aren't required to be certified, but many are, through many different programs. Ask prospective teachers if they are certified. A certified teacher isn't necessarily better than someone who isn't certified, but it's something to consider.

Yoga is fun, healthy, and relaxing. It's a wise way handed down over several thousands of years. There is little danger in yoga, and even a little progress brings with it freedom and peace of mind.

Although most people with diabetes can exercise safely, exercise involves some risks. To shift the benefit-to-risk ratio in your favor, take these precautions:

Have a medical exam before you begin your exercise program, including an exercise test with EKG monitoring, especially if you must  cardiovascular disease, you are over 40, you have high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol levels, you smoke, or you have a family history of heart disease.

Discuss with your doctor any unusual symptoms that you experience during or after exercise such as discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms; nausea, dizziness, fainting, or excessive shortness of breath; or short-term changes in vision.

If you have diabetes-related complications, check  your healthcare team about special precautions. Consider exercising in a medically supervised program, at least initially, if you have peripheral vascular disease, retinopathy, autonomic neuropathy, or kidney problems.

Learn how to prevent and treat low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia). If you take oral agents or insulin, monitor your blood glucose levels before, during, and after exercise.

If you have type I, and your blood glucose is above 250 milligrams per deciliter, check your urine for ketones. Don't exercise if ketones are present, because exercise will increase your risk of ketoacidosis and coma.

Always warm up and cool down.

Don't exercise outdoors when the weather is too hot and humid, or too cold.
