The meaning of
the word Yoga is "to join together," to "make union."
In the Tantric tradition sexual union is considered the highest form of
Yoga. When Yoga is practiced alone, an internal "marriage" takes
place between the various complementary parts of the body, such as the upper
and lower life energies, the solar and lunar vitalities, the head and the
heart. Yoga is the practice of transcending duality through conscious action; as
such, it takes place on both physical and metaphysical levels.
The Yoga of the The physical body dynamically promotes the health and well-being of the individual.
Practiced consistently and correctly, it will eliminate most of the strains and
stresses of modern life. Yoga rejuvenates the body and mind by relaxing tense
muscles, soothing frayed nerves, and toning the internal organs and glandular
system, so preparing the whole body to be a fit vehicle for the experience of
Tantric evolution. A radiantly healthy body is a prerequisite to the correct
practice of Tantra.
Hatha Yoga can be
learned from books, TV programs or classes, but whatever the mode of
instruction, moderation and common sense must prevail. For example, one should
never try to practice complex Yoga postures when physically ill, except under the
guidance of a doctor or teacher, nor should one do so just before or after
mealtimes. Yoga should be practiced neither immediately before nor just after
extreme physical exertion. Reverse postures should not be practiced by a
woman during menstruation.

The state of mind
in which a person enters into any practice will largely determine the result.
Therefore, do not be over-ambitious and force the postures, but let the body come
to them gradually and naturally, when it is ready. The
best times for Yoga practices are the early morning and early evening. Try to
get into a regular routine. It really isn't necessary to spend hours each day on
physical Yoga; ten minutes or half an hour is sufficient, provided it is practiced
regularly and with concentration. Remember that the physical exercises of Yoga are not ends in themselves but means to develop and strengthen your body
and mind.
Remember that Practices
or postures that one day seem impossible may be accomplished easily and
naturally a week later. It is, however, important to persevere and have faith
in the long-term benefits. The powers of a creative attitude and Will
are tremendous. Since all the techniques of Hatha Yoga are eminently suited to
the human organism, it's the unnatural conditioning of the body and mind
that we must strive to overcome. Each of us is a natural Yogi
or Yogini (female Yogi) if only we permit ourselves to be. Get to know your
body and learn to discern its real from its imaginary needs. Be receptive and
let your body speak to you directly. Above all, treat it as an
intelligent friend and ally; get to know every part of it and, if necessary,
coax or talk it into a state of harmony.
When two people
live together, spontaneity is a crucial element to their survival as a couple.
Yoga fosters this essential spontaneity and can be a shared and mutually
appreciated practice.
Yogic positions are evocative of natural elements or forces; many are named after animals, birds, or other creatures.

Yoga postures can
be performed for your partner rather than for
yourself alone.
Watching your
partner perform the different postures stimulates the erotic sentiment. When
practiced with confidence and in the right spirit, they are certainly erotic.

Many of the
sexual postures outlined in the Tantra tradition are facilitated by a grounding
in Hatha Yoga. I recommend practicing Yoga either in the nude or with minimal
clothing for the aesthetic value, as well as to allow for maximum freedom
of movement. When the body is naked, the life energies circulate more freely
than when it is clothed. Furthermore, naked Yoga creates an atmosphere
charged with erotic energy. Naturally, if the
temperature is cool, it is advisable to wear something light but
unrestricted. Synthetic
fabrics are not suitable because they obstruct the free flow of vital
energies; natural fabrics such as cotton, light wool, or silk are preferable.
When Yoga becomes a natural part of your lifestyle, many obstacles to
spiritual progress will be removed, allowing Tantric and Taoist Yogas of Love
to be more easily mastered.
A
person should resort to Yoga, which is like the fruit of the Wish-Granting
Tree.
The Yogi destroys diseases by the postures, Karmas by breath control, and
mental
disturbances by the withdrawal of the senses from the external world. A
Yogi
in the highest state of Samadhi is not affected by time or any other action.
