For the most of us, Valentine’s Day was a little predictable. We made dinner reservations, were surprised with flowers and an assortment of chocolate, and the night was capped off with sex (probably a private dance in some pricey lingerie and then sex). With the sex being the highlight of the night, that can sometimes be all too predictable as well. We know that he’s going to begin with the traditional missionary position that starts off slow and then after 10 hard strokes, like a madman, he’s flipping you over for the back strokes with the dirty talk, which lasts for about two minutes before he sends himself over the edge. Then it’s over and there’s an awkward silence as he doses off and you lie there thinking, “That’s it?” If you find yourself at a standstill in your sex life regardless of the occasion, here are some yoga poses that you can do outside of the bedroom to increase the vitality inside of the bedroom.

Wide Seated Forward Bend Pose (Upavistha Konasana)

As intimidating as this pose looks, do what you can and only go as low as you can go. This pose increases circulation and blood flow to the groin area, which heightens sensitivity in the bedroom. It targets your inner thighs and increases flexibility allowing your legs to spread wider. This also allows for deeper penetration in the bedroom. This position also strengthens the spine as well as stimulate abdominal organs.

Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)

The Bridge Pose targets the muscles at the pelvic floor, which can lead to stronger, more controlled orgasms. It is a more exaggerated form of doing Kegels. This pose should be held for 30 seconds at a time.

Plow Pose (Halasana)

The plow pose increases blood flow to the brain to enhance alertness and stimulation. It also stretches the back to reduce the risk of injury during sex. Translating this same move into the bedroom, it enables him to have a deeper thrust and aids in your flexibility without fear of hurting your back.

Lotus Pose (Padmasana)

This is the perfect pose for when he wants you to drop down and get your eagle on girl. The lotus pose promotes flexibility of the hip and thigh muscles, which are central to most sexual positions. If done right, you should be able to feel the stretching in the inner thigh and groin area. Trust me, it’s necessary. You wouldn’t want to wake up the next morning after a late night tryst with a limp.

Child’s Pose (Balasana)

For when he’s on his Miguel and wants you to arch your back and point your toes, this position is great for stretching the lower back, which makes for a less painful arch.

Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana)

This is a full lower body stretch. It’s called the goddess pose because that’s exactly how you’ll feel on top when you’re in control. Utkata Konasana stretches the inner thighs, strengthens the leg muscles and lower back as you get lower and lower in your seat position. So when he throws on The-Dream’s “Equestrian“, lay him back and show him who’s in charge.

Lizard Pose (Utthan Pristhasana)

This pose stretches the hips and pelvic muscles. You’ll be able to hit those splits and straddles after a few months of practice. This stretch enables you to perfect your surfboard like Queen Bey.

Downward Dog Pose (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

As one of the most basic yoga poses and also a standard bedroom position, the downward facing dog is best for stretching your hamstrings, spine and buttocks. It’s also a must for deep penetration and spankings in the bedroom.
