Couples Breathwork
Breathwork for Better Sex
Incorporating breathwork into your routine can reduce anxiety, deepen connection, and enhance your sexual experiences. Try these techniques and notice the difference in both intimacy and overall well-being.
Connect Energetically with Your Partner
Circulatory Breathing: Pass the Ball
This technique creates an energetic loop between you and your partner, perfect for initiating foreplay.
How to Do It:
Get in Position: Partners can kneel facing each other, sit face-to-face straddled, or stand facing each other.
Visualize: Imagine a well of sexual energy at the base of your pelvic floor.
Breathe and Engage: Inhale and gently contract your pelvic floor for 4–8 seconds. Exhale and release, visualizing the energy moving up through your body and out the top of your head toward your partner.
Pass the Energy: Your partner visualizes drawing that energy in from the top of their head down to their pelvic floor, then sending it back to you.
Keep the Play Going: Continue passing the energy back and forth like a playful game until you feel satisfied.
Tip: You can reverse the flow, starting by releasing energy from your pelvic floor instead of your head.
Get in Sync with Your Teammate
Align Your Breathing Patterns
Synchronistic breathing helps partners connect by aligning their breath, perfect for sexual and non-sexual moments alike.
How to Do It:
Get in Position: Spooning, standing in an embrace, or holding from behind. Hands can rest on your partner’s chest or belly to feel the breath move.
Choose Your Rhythm: Try box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4) or simply breathe deeply together.
Lead and Follow: One partner sets the pace while the other mirrors it, like a silent, coordinated team.
Back-to-Back Breathing
Regulate Each Other’s Rhythm
This technique helps partners tune into one another and naturally regulate breathing, creating calm and grounded connection.
How to Do It:
Get in Position: Sit back-to-back with your partner, feeling your spines gently press together.
Visualize and Connect: Imagine your breath moving between you like a gentle wave.
Breathe Together: Inhale and exhale in a relaxed rhythm. Notice your partner’s breathing and let it guide your own.
Sync Your Energy: Over time, your inhalations and exhalations naturally align, helping both of you relax, regulate, and connect.
Tip: This can be a grounding practice at the start or end of the day, or anytime you want to deepen non-verbal connection and calm your nervous system.
