Sexy Yoga
Jun 14th, 2010
I’m not really a fan of yoga. Yes, yes I know all of the fantastic benefits it provides but frankly, it just bores me to tears. I tried a hot yoga class once with a girlfriend and besides feeling like I was trapped in a sweat lodge, all of that huffing and puffing was kind of embarrassing. But, alas, I think I have found a kind of yoga that suits me just fine. To get started, grab your man and put the kids in another room. These 3 moves will surely brighten the day of the guy in your life. At the very least, you will both get a good laugh attempting the poses.
Duo Downward Dog
With your partner standing behind you, start on all fours – - your knees under your hips and your hands flat on the floor (directly underneath your shoulders). Lift your knees off the floor, place your weight on the balls of your feet and draw your butt backward so that your back, arms and head form a straight line. Slowly straighten your legs so that your hips rise up as you press your heels down into the floor – - you should look like an upside-down V. From this position, have your partner grab the sides of your hips from behind to gently pull them back for a deeper stretch – - they may need to place one leg between your legs for balance. Hold for 6 to 10 deep breaths, then switch positions with your partner.
Duo Butterfly
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and your partner kneeling directly behind you. Press the bottoms of your feet together in front of you and cup your hands over your toes. Have your partner place their hands on the inside of your thighs, just above your knees. Keeping your back flat, slowly lean forward as far as you can as your partner gently pushes your legs down towards the floor. Hold this pose for 6 to 10 deep breaths, then switch positions with your partner.
Dunking for Apples
(this one could get you in trouble)
Sit on the floor directly across from your partner. Spread your legs spread as wide apart as possible – - let your partner do the same – - then touch feet with your partner. Reach forward and grab each others’ wrists – - or elbows, depending on how long your arms are – - so that your arms are straight and locked together. From this position, slowly lean back so that your partner bends forward at the waist as far as is comfortable and hold for 2 to 3 deep breaths – - make sure they keep their back straight throughout the pose. Next, let your partner lean back – - this time, you’ll bend at the waist towards them – - and hold for 2 to 3 deep breaths. Keep repeating back and forth 6 to 10 times.
