Basic Yoga Positions and Tantric Yoga Positions

I'm a big fan of Sting and the Police...that's how I first leaned about Tantric Yoga Positions.
Sure, there were all kinds of stories and rumours about what positive effects Tantric Yoga had on Sting's love making...

..rumours he ultimately dismissed as exaggerated.

But let's get to know Tantric Yoga and the Tantric Yoga positions, because many of them can fall into the category of Basic Yoga Positions.

According to ABC of Yoga, Tantric Yoga "pertains to concentrating on expanding one’s energy in order to achieve the goals of tantra."

OK, that may strike you as vague...but you can read the entire definition and article here.

In fact, the 'men' who read Yoga for Men may dismiss the entire idea of spiritualism an the etherworld and just concentrate on what these poses will do for your Sex Life. In fact, an article written on the Practicing Yoga website kicks off with this: "Tantric yoga positions quite often conjure up thoughts of sex positions..." The whole article is here. (But in fairness to both you and the website, it goes to explain that Tantric Yoga Positions are NOT strictly about sex and erotica. Sorry!)

(I have to give props to Practicing Yoga because they, too, have an article called Yoga For Men!)

In all, Tantric Yoga works on both your flexibility and your endurance. So while it's focus is NOT directly pertaining to sex, you can see where and how it will help!

Because most teachers of Tantric Yoga want to reiterate the history and spirituality of the art, it was very difficult to find an easy-to-follow page of visual 'examples' of the poses. (At least, not as easy to follow as my previous Basic Yoga Poses post). However, I found this article that explains some basic Tantric Poses for you. It comes from the TantricYogaTechniques.com website.

So, men, as you build your muscles and strengthen your backs and arms and abs...don't be afraid to look around a little and get to know the different TYPES of Yoga and how they can help you to grow, both physically and spiritually.

Who knows? Maybe she'll even thank you....
