Yoga and Married Life

Yogic practices were originally designed by Indian Yogis to attain spiritual emancipation. Sexual restraint was considered the most important prerequisite for spiritual development. Therefore, it is erroneously held by many that practise of Yoga is meant for sanyasis, saints and seers who are supposed to renounce the world and lead a life of celibacy. It is also believed by many married people that the practise of Yoga ultimately diminishes their sex drive and potential, eventually leading to impotence. This is not true.
It has been scientifically proved beyond any iota of doubt that Yoga does not hamper sexual potential. Instead, it revitalises the physical aspect of sex and also reconditions mental defects arising from one's own feeling of incompetence and an inferiority complex regarding sexual activities. Since Yogic practices enhance sexual vigour and vitality there should be no hesitation on the part of married people to practise Yoga.

Yoga and Sex

The mind plays a tremendous role in our life. The urge for sexual activity first and foremost occurs in the mind of a human being. Yoga takes care of the mind. It streamlines the nervous system that is responsible for the physical aspect of sexual life. Hence, practise of Yoga would definitely contribute in removing any weaknesses in sexual behaviour.
