With yoga schools and classes available practically everywhere in the country, there’s no excuse for any person interested in yoga not to dive right in. And men who are interested in maintaining their male organ health might want to investigate a little downward-facing dog or warrior positions. Yes, practicing yoga can be a good way to support good manhood function — and that’s something every man values.

An ancient practice

Yoga has been around for centuries, although only in recent decades has it become so widely available in western cultures. Originating in ancient India, yoga actually encompasses a range of mental, physical and spiritual practices. But when a person refers to yoga today, they generally are talking about a form of physical exercise that incorporates meditation and other mental components into it. As opposed to working out with weights at the gym, yoga is more of a low impact form of exercise — although it can also provide a real work-out when required.

Although there is more to yoga than this, most people associate yoga essentially with exercises that emphasize attaining and holding specially designed poses.

The manhood connection

And how can yoga benefit manhood function? One way is through the potential boosting of male hormone.

Male hormone, as most men know, is a key component of manhood function. Higher levels of male hormone are generally associated with greater muscle mass and tone, stronger bones, increased energy, better cardiac health, a strong sensual drive and healthy firmness. So maintaining appropriate levels of male hormone is important for a man.

Some studies have indicated that regular yoga practice can help increase or maintain male hormone levels. This becomes especially important as men age, as the natural aging process typically includes some diminishment of male hormone.

How does yoga help?

Yoga is thought to help with male hormone production in several ways.

- De-stressing. One of the major benefits associated with yoga is the lowering of stress levels. Most people come out of a yoga session feeling significantly more relaxed. Consistent practice of yoga helps a person experience that relaxed feeling for a longer period of time and to be able to draw on it more effectively in stressful situations. This is key because stress triggers cortisol production, which in turn lowers male hormone production.

- Sleeping better. People who regularly engage in yoga tend to sleep better, and not only on nights when they’ve had a yoga class. Sleep deprivation is also associated with decreases in male hormone (and with increases in stress). In addition, being physically tired can have an impact on the sensual drive and ability to obtain and maintain tumescence.

- Weight issues. Regular yoga participation can help a man to lose weight, which not only makes him feel and look better — it also gets his male hormone working up again. Men who are a healthy weight are also less likely to have blood pressure and cardiac issues, which again can have an impact on member function and health.

In addition, many yoga poses exercise parts of the body that can be of benefit to a man during coupling. For example, yoga can help provide flexibility in the pelvis, increase arm strength for greater upper body support during missionary and similar positions, and develop breathing in a way that promotes better stamina.
