Yoga for Male Potency: 3 Best Exercises for Men’s Health

Yoga helps reduce body mass index, blood pressure, and heart rate. Since excess weight and high blood pressure are associated with erectile dysfunction, regular practice of yoga exercises combined with a healthy lifestyle can reduce the incidence of erectile dysfunction in men.

The following asanas are recommended:

Paschimottanasana (forward bend)

This yoga asana for erectile dysfunction, also known as the seated forward bend, helps improve endurance by strengthening the peroneal muscles. These muscles are known to support erectile function.

It helps delay ejaculation by contracting the peroneal muscles. In addition, paschimottanasana also relieves stress and stimulates the reproductive organs.

How to do it:

Sit straight on the floor and keep your legs straight, stretching them.

Inhale and extend both arms up.

Exhale and bend toward your toes.

Make sure your spine remains vertical.

Use your thumb and index finger to grasp your big toe.

Having done this, lean forward so that your forehead touches your knees.

Hold on for 10-20 seconds.

Slowly and carefully return to the starting position.

Best time to practice: morning.

Uttanapadasana (raised leg pose)

By performing this asana regularly, you will engage your glutes and quadriceps. Also known as raised leg pose, this asana for erectile dysfunction stretches your psoas muscle.

Uttanpadasana is an intense exercise that expands the hip flexor muscles. These muscles help bend your knees.

This asana improves blood flow and energy to the pelvic area. As a result, it helps to overcome erectile dysfunction.

How to do it:

Lie on your back on the floor.

Align your arms by your sides and place your feet together.

Now inhale and lift your legs to create a 30 degree angle.

Try to maintain this position for several breaths.

Now return your feet to the floor in a normal position.

Inhale and this time lift your legs to a 60-degree angle.

As before, remain in this position for a while.

Now lower your legs and return to your normal position.

Best time to practice: morning and evening.

Kumbhakasana (plank pose)

This yoga asana for erectile dysfunction helps in increasing stamina. It is also known as plank pose. With regular practice, Kumbhakasana can give you more strength. Since plank pose helps strengthen the upper body, it helps combat erectile dysfunction.

How to do it:

Lie on the floor so that your stomach touches the surface.

Keep your hands near your face.

Now bend your legs so that your toes push off the ground.

Using your hands, push your body up and lift your buttocks.

Keep your legs parallel to the floor.

Try to stay in this position for as long as possible.

Slowly and steadily return to the starting position.

Best time to practice: any time of the day.
