Today, we will practice Sarvangasana and Matsyasana, which benefit sexual performance. In Yoga, the body is considered to be a living magnet. The legs, resting on the earth are considered to be positively charged while the head is said to be negatively charged. In Sarvangasana, the body is inverted. The legs are in the air, the head and shoulders on the ground, resulting in reversal of polarity and charges. This helps improve blood circulation to the sex organs, thus improving vitality and sexual performance.
The second exercise, Matsyasana, stretches the pelvic region, which directs the blood flow to the sexual glands (to the testes and prostrate glands in men and to the ovaries in women). This asana helps to revitalise these areas and is also very helpful to women in treating various sexual malfunctions.
