Tantric yoga

Tantric yoga is the only system of yoga which deals with human sexuality and focuses on the unification of male and female energies. By merging with a partner, one can experience the blending of male and female essences. Within each gender lies the seed of the opposite sex which creates attraction between two people. The Taoist sages call these opposites yin and yang (feminine and masculine respectively). Both yin and yang exist in men and women, with the yen predominantly in women, and the yang in men. These polarities compliment each other and it is important to learn how to balance them. Tantra endeavors to combine yin and yang into blissful union and although one can work with a sexual partner to accomplish this, the inner yoga practices of Tantra can enable an individual to unfold and unite the male and female energies without a partner. In fact, it is better for a person to do Tantric spirituality alone than to attempt it with the wrong type of sexual partner.
