3. Vajra Position - Vajra Āsana
The man sits on a cushion, in the full lotus pose with his right foot on
top of the left leg (the leg position is called Vajra Paryaṅka). The
woman straddles him from the front with her legs and faces him,
placing her arms around his neck for support. Although this is the most
celebrated position for Tantric lovemaking, it is often difficult for
modern practitioners to hold this pose for very long because modern
bodies are larger and heavier than medieval Indian bodies and the pose
may put a lot of pressure on the man’s thighs.
Benefits: Intimacy. Excellent for combined sexual yoga and subtle
energy yoga practices such as the Four Blisses and Swing Recitation.
4. Archer Position - Ālīḍha Āsana
The man stands with his right leg extended in a lunging position
(ālīḍha), his arms around her neck. The woman faces him, and places
her left leg around his waist, the ball of her right foot on the ground
touching his left foot, and her arms around his neck. He enters her. An
exciting but difficult position for both partners to maintain. The
emblematic pose of the fierce deities Cakrasamvara and Vajrayoginī.
Benefits: Intimacy.
5. Swing Position - Dolā Āsana
The man lies down on his back, the woman is on top and straddles him
with her legs in a squatting pose. The woman envelops his vajra and
swings her hips back and forth.
Benefits: Good control for the woman, the man can relax easily into higher
states of bliss.
