Kundalini Yoga Chair Pose for Sexual Health
Kundalini Yoga Exercise for Improving Sexual Vitality
Hatha Yoga Posture for Toning Thighs & Buttocks
Chair pose is not chair yoga (which you will now find here - Chair Yoga for Energy and Stress Relief). Not that I have anything against chair yoga, I am (as you must have guessed by now :-) a fan of all types of yoga, but chair pose, unlike the easier postures of chair yoga, is instead a tough little yoga pose. It is for toning your leg muscles, building lower body strength and improving your overall sexual health.
Chair pose, is the fifth entry in our Free Online Illustrated Kundalini Yoga Poses and Exercises E-Book and is certainly a posture worth including in your yoga practice for building lower body strength and sexual virility. This terrific exercise is part of many different types of yoga, such as Hatha yoga and Kundalini Yoga, and is also a pose used by western physiotherapy when leg muscles need to be strengthened.
Below you will find several pictures of chair yoga pose. These illustrations include a modified version as well. Please feel free to use this modification until you feel strong enough to try the full posture. You will also see closeups of the hand positions as they are a little tricky to describe. The demonstrations below are with my eyes open, but Kundalini Yoga practice is generally done with your eyes closed, and you may do this exercise with eyes closed as well.
Finally, please be careful of your knees, and even in the modified version of this pose, only go as far down as you are comfortable. In time you can work your way lower and then finally do the full version when you feel ready. Below the pictures, are written instructions for practicing this yoga posture, along with other pertinent details.

This is a great exercise for positive energy renewal and stretching thighs and calves! Some adults wonder why children seem to be able to squat so long. Adults can always re-learn:)

Kundalini Yoga is much more than just a system of physical exercise it is also a dynamic, powerful, tool for expanding awareness.
Virility, is seen to be a virtue in a man, a characteristic or trait which is part of a successful male’s persona

I’ve found a little bit of mobility work beforehand, plus some sacral breathing during the pose to be all I need to alleviate knee pain with this pose.
I have VERY creaky knees, so I definitely suggest trying this addition to anyone who’s struggling to get beyond the modified version due to knee problems.
