Surya Namaskar for sexual vitality

Leading a healthy sex life is a topic of concern for many. There are couples who harbour feelings of romance, love and compassion for each other but are frustrated because of their bad sex life or because they’re unable to perform sexually.

It is first important to work therapeutically with the 'Panicked Man' or those who, out of certain silly and misguided childhood misconceptions, either have problems with sex or can't perform during the act.

The next 11 days will showcase a program that'll help improve your sex life by:

* Building up your physical strength
* Improving your heart and lung efficiency
* Covering the art of handling premature ejaculation.

Sexual performance needs energy and that's what we will start our program with. Surya Namaskar, an amazing series of 12 movements stretches the whole body and rebalances low energy states. Surya Namaskar not only increases stamina but also opens up the various plexus in the body, freeing it from knots and increasing the energy flow throughout the system.

Start with 5 rounds and build up to 12.

Caution: Should not be practiced by those with acute high blood pressure, heart diseases or hernia. Those with acute back conditions should be careful and discontinue if the condition is aggravated.
