Brahmacharyasana or the Celibates Pose helps to conserve sexual energy and strengthens
abdominal muscles. It comes from the Sanskrit word Brahmacharya which means control over
the senses especially the sexual urge. Yoga believes that the sexual energy in both man and
women is very potent and can be used for evolution and reaching higher states of consciousness.
Yoga also believes that this sexual energy can be transmuted into higher form of energy called
Ojas, which improves the vitality of the entire physical and mental body. Brahmacharyasana is
one the poses that aid in this transmutation.
