The Ultimate Guide to Yoni Egg Yoga
Elevate your yoga routine with the powerful practice of incorporating a yoni egg. This guide explores the benefits, offers step-by-step pose ideas and shares tips to help you feel safe, grounded and more connected in your own skin.
In the quest for holistic wellness, women around the world are rediscovering the profound benefits of yoni yoga – a practice that blends mindful movement, breath and yoni egg work for physical, emotional and spiritual support.
If you’ve seen yoni eggs online and thought, “Okay, but what do I actually do with it?”, you’re exactly who this guide is for.
What Is Yoni Egg Yoga?
Yoni egg yoga (or yoni egg exercises) combines simple yoga postures, breathwork and pelvic floor awareness while wearing a yoni egg internally. Instead of treating movement like a workout to “get through”, this practice invites you into:
- deeper presence in your pelvis and womb space
- gentle strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles
- more sensitivity, circulation and pleasure over time
- a softer, more regulated nervous system
Benefits of Practising with a Yoni Egg
Every body is different, but many people report a mix of physical, emotional and energetic benefits when they practise regularly and gently.
Physical & pelvic floor benefits
- Increased awareness of your pelvic floor muscles – not just “on/off”.
- Gentle strengthening and tone when paired with breath and movement.
- Improved circulation to the pelvic area.
- Potential support with bladder control and core stability when used correctly.
Emotional & nervous system benefits
- More connection to your body after stress, burnout or disconnection.
- A ritual space to process emotions stored in the pelvis and womb area.
- Soothing of the nervous system when paired with slow, conscious breath.
Intimacy & pleasure benefits
- Increased sensitivity and ability to feel more internally over time.
- Greater ease with arousal and relaxation in the pelvic region.
- Deeper connection to your sensuality and erotic self, on your own terms.
Before You Begin: Safety, Consent & Set-Up
Before adding a yoni egg to your yoga or movement practice, make sure you’ve covered the basics:
- Choose the right egg: Start with a smooth, body-safe stone (like jade) in a size that feels supportive – many beginners feel more with a medium or larger egg.
- Cleanse & sanitise: Follow your usual crystal care + toy hygiene routine before and after each use.
- Check your body’s “yes”: Place a hand over your vulva and ask your body if she’s ready to receive. If the answer feels like a “no” or “not yet”, honour that.
- Use lubrication: A skin-friendly lubricant or yoni oil can make insertion more comfortable.
- Skip if you’re not sure: If you’re pregnant, have a prolapse, recent pelvic surgery, or a history of significant pelvic pain, check in with a practitioner first.
Simple Yoni Egg Yoga Poses to Start With
These are gentle, beginner-friendly postures you can weave into your existing routine. Focus less on “doing it perfectly” and more on how your body feels.
1. Grounded Breath in Child’s Pose
Supports: nervous system, gentle pelvic awareness
- Come to child’s pose with knees wide, hips towards heels, forehead resting on the mat or a block.
- Breathe into your back body, imagining the breath travelling down into your pelvis.
- On the inhale, notice a subtle expansion; on the exhale, feel your pelvic floor soften.
- Stay for 10–20 breaths, keeping jaw, shoulders and belly relaxed.
2. Pelvic Tilts in Bridge Prep
Supports: pelvic floor coordination & core
- Lie on your back with knees bent, feet hip-width apart, arms by your sides.
- On an exhale, gently tilt your pelvis so your lower back softens towards the mat.
- Imagine lifting the pelvic floor slightly as you exhale – like an elevator to the first floor.
- On the inhale, release and let the pelvis return to neutral.
- Repeat 8–10 times, keeping the movement subtle and controlled.
3. Goddess Squat with Breath
Supports: strength, openness and grounding
- Step your feet wide, turning your toes slightly out, and bend your knees into a gentle squat.
- On the inhale, feel through your feet and lengthen your spine.
- On the exhale, lightly engage the pelvic floor and lower belly as you hold the position.
- Stay for 5–8 breaths, then straighten the legs to come out and rest.
4. Reclined Butterfly Release
Supports: softening, integration & emotional release
- Lie on your back and bring the soles of your feet together, letting your knees fall wide.
- Support your knees with cushions if needed so there’s no strain.
- Place one hand on your heart and one on your lower belly or pelvis.
- Breathe slowly, focusing on completely relaxing the pelvic floor on each exhale.
- Stay for 3–5 minutes, or as long as it feels nourishing.
How Often Should You Practise?
You don’t need to practise every day to feel benefits. For most people, 1–3 sessions per week of 10–20 minutes is a beautiful, sustainable rhythm.
- Keep your sessions shorter and slower at the beginning.
- Focus on quality of breath and awareness, not reps or intensity.
- Notice how your body feels the next day and adjust accordingly.
