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.
