Better sex: you should know these 3 yoga poses

By now you're probably curious to know which yoga exercises we're talking about. So let's get straight to it - from Ommm to Ahhh!

In a seated position, bring your heels together in front of the center of your body and clasp your feet with your hands. Stretch your legs towards the floor with gentle movements. This exercise opens the hips and stimulates circulation.

Position 2: The shoulder stand

From a supine position, raise your legs and pelvis vertically into the air. Support the position with your hands, resting your weight on your shoulders. Breathe calmly and fluently - hold the position for 3 minutes. The tension has a positive effect on the whole body.

Position 3: The bridge

Lie on your back and place your arms next to your body. Tense the pelvic floor and lift the pelvis until the body forms a straight line. Hold the position. This position relaxes the pelvis in particular.
