10 ways to kick-start your love life

Discover tantric yoga

This is a kind of sexual yoga that harnesses a powerful energy that lies dormant at the base of our spines. When you release it, you get a surge of joy throughout your body. Try this pelvic bouncing exercise - lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, then raise your pelvis and start to bounce it up and down. During tantric sex, you exchange this energy with your partner, optimising the pleasure you both experience. A good introductory book is 'Tantra: The Art of Mind Blowing Sex' by Val Sampson (Vermilion, £12.99).
