Though the sexual problems are more related to the brain than the body and if we talk about Erectile Dysfunction (ED), it usually caused by low confidence or tiredness or stress or worry. The physical reasons behind ED are quite rare. Therefore, the research team suggests that sex-related problems can be cured by yoga.

Erectile dysfunction is the inability of staying hard during the sex which is haunting the young males of the current generation. The reason behind this health issue can be inadequate blood supply to the penis, continuous pressure on the genitals and buttocks, and psychological disorders such as depression and anxiety. These factors can affect the ability to getting an erection or keeping the erection for the more extended period.

However, you can treat this inability with medication if it caused by the physical diseases and if psychological disorder and stress cause ED, then Yoga is the best way to handle the disease. According to the researchers from Sri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara College of Ayurveda and Hospital in Karnataka, India, yoga should be viewed as a treatment for the sexual disorder.

Though the sexual problems are more related to the brain than the body and if we talk about Erectile Dysfunction (ED), it usually caused by low confidence or tiredness or stress or worry. The physical reasons behind ED are quite rare. Therefore, the research team suggests that sex-related problems can be cured by yoga, according to the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrated Medical Sciences.

Meanwhile, in research, around 65 men who were aged between 24 to 60 went for 12 weeks of yoga sessions, and after the 12 weeks, all participants found increased ejaculatory control, erection, and orgasm. The research was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine in 2010. The personal trainer Daniel Bubnis who is based in Pennsylvania also suggested the five yoga poses to deal with Erectile Dysfunction. The yoga poses were listed in Maionline.

Siddhasana (Accomplished Pose):

This Asana is one of the classic yoga positions and usually get used in the meditation process too. You can even perform the yoga pose for a long period. It increases flexibility in the body and stimulates the pelvic region. This Asana provides the command over sex urge and the sexual functions. It maintains the nervous system and makes spinal column straight and even.

To perform the Asana sit on the floor with legs stretched forward and cross your left leg at the knee then putting the left foot near the inside of your right thigh. Now repeat the same movement with the right leg. Make sure that the right heel press against the pubic bone. After getting into the position, remain in the pose and perform deep breathing exercise. You can also switch the legs by crossing the right leg first.

Ardha Matsyendrasana (Half Lord of the Fishes Pose):

This yoga pose stretches hip, shoulder and neck. The posture relaxes the nervous system, increases flexibility in the spine, calms the mind, improve digestion, and cleanses the internal organs. It enhances the blood flow to liver, pancreas, pelvic region and spleen.

To start the pose sit on the floor and keep the legs stretched forward. Now twist your right leg at the knee and cross it over the left leg, after that put your right foot on the floor. Now inhale and exhale slowly.

Now turn to the right side and stretch the left arm forwards and put the left elbow on the right knee. Hold your hands behind the back while twisting if you are flexible enough if it is discomforting then do not try to hold hands. Free the pose and start from the sitting position. Repeat the process on the opposite side.

Pavanamuktasana (Wind-Relieving Pose):

This yoga position is beneficial in the cure of gas problems and poor digestion and constipation. It mildly massages the abdominal organs and helps in warming the pelvic muscles and reproductive organs. If you practice Pawanmuktasana on a regular basis, it stimulates bowel movement which is needed for extracting waste material. It also strengthens back muscle and heals back pain. This Asana gives flat stomach which is also a plus point.

To perform the Asana, you need to lie down on the floor on the back. Now inhale then exhale and bring both legs close to the chest and hold the knees with the arm. Now release the legs and get back to the lying position. You can perform the Asana with both legs and single leg. If you wish to perform the pose with one leg then in the same lying position just bring the one leg close to the chest and repeat the process with another leg. In the whole process keep inhaling and exhaling properly.

• Do not practice the yoga if you are having slip disc problem.

This one is the toughest on the list as it requires persistence, strength, flexibility, and consistent concentration. It is the standing pose in which you need to balance and focus. This Asana boosts the blood flow in the pelvis. Therefore it is effective for the men who are suffering from ED. The balancing aspect of the Asana helps to protect your knees from future injury as well. If you find hard to balance at the starting point, then try to practice the yoga near a wall for the support.

To perform the Asana stand straight now lift the left leg and try to twist it over the right knee. If possible try to place the top of the foot on the right calf’s back. If it does not feel comfortable, then just twist the leg over right knee and try to balance. Now try to bend the right knee so that your body gets stretched more. If you managed to balance, then lift your arms till the shoulder and twist the left arm over the right. Remain in the position for 10 seconds, keep the breathing slow and release. Now repeat the process on the left leg.

Shavasana (Corpse Pose):

This yoga position is to relax the body. We perform this after completing all other yoga position. It is very advantageous yoga position as it takes the body to the meditative state, reduces blood pressure and anxiety, relaxes and calms the body, raises levels of energy and improves concentration and memory. In this pose, we just lie on the floor.

To perform the pose lie down on the floor on the back. Keep your arms few inches away from the body and place your palms upwards to the sky. Now inhale and exhale slowly. Do the breathing exercise for 15-20 minutes and try to feel the relaxation in each body part such as feet, calfs, knees, hands and so on. Try to put the focus on the relaxation and indulge your self in other thoughts. Corpse pose is meant for relaxation and taking the body in meditative position.

Make sure to take one hour for yourself in the whole day and try to practice yoga after getting fresh in the morning. Try to be consistent with yoga schedule to get useful results. Also, make sure you perform each Asana for at least 10 minutes. Yoga gives beneficial results if practised in the right way and on a regular basis.
