Ommmmy God! Meet the woman who have multiple ‘yogasms’
CHANTS of “om” at yoga studios are being drowned out by cries of “Yes, yes yes” thanks to what has been dubbed the “yogasm”.
Twenty per cent of women who do yoga have orgasms during their workout sessions, a study by the University of Indiana in the US revealed this week.
Below we four women lucky enough to part of that 20 per cent — and an expert reveals how you can get it om too . . . .

HOW TO HAVE A YOGASM
YOGASMS are caused by postures revving up the nervous system and heart rate, researchers found.
And the women in the US study were not fantasising sexually at the time.
Kundalini yoga teacher Beverley Drumm, 50, above, of Crouch End, North London, said: “The yogasm is an incredible experience.
They generally occur when you are stretching the muscles inside your thighs, and opening up the pelvic area.
“You need to practise regularly to experience it. You need to open your body, engage breath and core, and practise. It can take quite a while to learn to ‘let go’ sufficiently.”

“I’ve frequently experienced yogasms, usually when I’m in a pose called the ‘locust’ (pictured above). This sends the energy and blood flow to deep within the groin and pelvic area.
It often lasts longer and is more intense than a normal orgasm. I know lots of women who yogasm like me – it isn’t embarrassing, no one in class knows.”
Maria Porsfleet
Meditation expert, 35, from Hackney, East London
“I feel there is a strong link between yoga and sensuality.
A yogasm is slightly different from a normal orgasm – it lasts longer, and I think the feeling is much more intense.
It’s amazing, so satisfying. A lot of women are non-orgasmic because they are so tense and have lost the ability to tune in to their bodies.”

“You can’t tell when a yogasm is going to happen – it just happens,” says Serpil, pictured above in the main image, in the ‘happy baby’ pose.
“It certainly brings a big smile to my face!
You have to allow your mind to go into that special place which creates the orgasmic sensation.
Then you gently hold that pose and feel the rhythmic sensations beginning to flood through your body.
Yoga has had an incredible impact on my sex life.”
