Can yoga increase your sex drive?

Question by : Can yoga increase your sex drive?
So my GF loves yoga. She and her friends talk about yoga like I talk about football with my friends. She really wants me to go with her, but I really don't want to. The session is all women and I don't want to be the only guy there. I've asked friends and they said no. Plus my GF wants me to wear this matching, tight fitting yoga outfit. I'm fit, but I just don't like wearing tights in a class with all women.

I know it means a lot to her and I try to make it up to her in other ways, but she just really wants me to go. She tells me everything about yoga and how it can do all this physical and mentally healthy things. Yesterday she told me that yoga can increase your sex drive a bit. I took interest to this because I've been swapped at work lately and I'm just so tired when I get home. She also tells me that yoga can relieve stress. I could use that because once again my work life has been very demanding (because the year is ending and last minute projects need to go out).

I'm starting to get to the point that my pride is moving aside for some mental and physical relief, but I want to know before I commit to this. Are these claims possible and/or likely? Thank you very much.

Best answer:
Actually the answer is yes it can! Yoga is good for your body and mind but any kind of exercise can increase your sex drive by causing endorphins and boosting your stamina. If yoga makes you uncomfortable, take up kick boxing! If you want to make your girlfriend happy, find a yoga DVD you can do at home in private. Even though it's not going to her class, I am sure making the effort to give it a try will mean more to her than not trying it at all!
