Better Sex Through Yoga: Easy Routines to Boost Your Sex Drive, Enhance Physical Pleasure, and Spice Up Your Bedroom Life
Jacquie Noell, Jennifer Langheld, Garvey Rich. Broadway Books, $17.95 (288pp) ISBN 978-0-7679-2058-2
While most yoga books promising an invigorated sex life emphasize the Tantric approach, Greaux and Langheld believe one can also get mind-blowing bedroom results from the regular use of traditional poses. Essentially a fill-in-the-blank approach (regular exercise translates to a more limber physique translates to better sexual performance), the authors focus on the power of weight loss and increased muscle tone to inspire self-confidence and increase attractability. To those ends, Yoga instructor Greaux and television producer Langheld pack their book with poses ranging from the familiar (Sun Salutation, Upward Dog, Bridge) to the more exotic (the Tabletop), and common exercises repurposed with names like ""Sex Kitten"" (leg lifts) and ""Yogacycles"" (modified situps), meant to strengthen and tone all muscle groups. Clear instructions and illustrations ensure those new to yoga won't injure themselves, and each pose or exercise includes an explanation of its bedroom utility. Though poses rightfully dominate, the authors also include a handful of routines and abbreviated poses (for office-bound yoga enthusiasts). This book won't offer much for longtime practitioners, but those new to yoga will find this guide helpful and instructive, questionable claims of sexual satisfaction notwithstanding.
