I just checked out Volume Three ($14.95), of the Better Sex Through Yoga series. I was excited to try it (no, not in that way), because this DVD is the most advanced video of the three.
The first thing I noticed is that the instructor was scantily clad; I think I actually murmured out loud, "Yeah, like I'd ever practice yoga in a short tank top and my undies."

A while back I reviewed the beginner yoga DVD, Better Sex Through Yoga, Volume 1. Well, I decided it was time to get a little more advanced, or rather intermediate and try Volume 2 ($14.95), the Intermediate edition. This isn't an erotic video with explicit instructions of the Kama Sutra sex positions.

The title of this DVD both intrigued me and made me shake my head with disbelief. Putting the "sex" in a title will certainly grab a shopper's attention. That being said, the connection does make sense since yoga can help in other areas of your life, including sex.

Steering your sex drive in the right direction can easily be derailed by stress, but getting it to a satisfying place could be as simple as incorporating yoga in your fitness regimen. According to a recent article in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, women noticed improved levels of arousal and desire — and even experienced better orgasms — through practicing Eastern techniques of mindfulness and yoga.
Living in the present moment is an important focus of yoga, so it's easy to see how training our minds and bodies to remain present and aware could benefit our time in the bedroom.

Drug Approval
Women with menstrual pain due to endometriosis have a new treatment option. In May 2007, the FDA approved Lybrel, a continuous-dose oral contraceptive that completely eliminates menstrual periods. Lybrel, which contains low doses of the estrogen estradiol and the progesterone levonorgestrol, is taken 365 days a year with active pills.

Uterine Artery Embolization Versus Standard Surgery
Many women with fibroids are considering a procedure called uterine artery embolization (UAE) as an alternative to standard surgery such as hysterectomy or myomectomy. A study published in 2007 in the New England Journal of Medicine compared these treatment approaches. The study suggested that UAE results in shorter hospital stay and faster recovery time, but a small percentage of women may later need repeat embolization or a hysterectomy.

Causes
- Four out of five people with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are infected with an enterovirus -- one of the viruses that cause respiratory and gastrointestinal infections -- compared with only one out of five healthy people. The virus might be a trigger for CFS, although research has not yet confirmed a cause-and-effect relationship.
Diagnosis
- According to new guidelines, symptoms that suggest a diagnosis of CFS include disabling fatigue that starts suddenly, lasts a long time, keeps coming back, and can't be explained by another condition. Other symptoms may include difficulty concentrating or sleeping, dizziness, headaches, muscle or joint pain, sore throat, and palpitations.

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections are very common worldwide. HSV-1 (usually known as a cold sore) is transmitted through kissing or sharing drinking utensils, and HSV-2 (usually known as genital herpes) through sexual contact. You may be infected and not show symptoms for a long time.

Gender and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
MS is increasingly affecting women, according to research presented at the 2007 annual conference of the American Academy of Neurology. Researchers found that in the 1940s, women were twice as likely as men to be diagnosed with MS. By 2000, women were about four times more likely than men to develop MS.
