Yoni Egg Exercises: How to Work with a Gemstone Egg

Are you curious about Yoni Eggs but have no idea where to start? Here you will find information about the Sizes, Instructions for Safe Use, and Three Yoni Egg Exercises!

If you want to start with Yoni Massage you can follow a yoni egg workshop or become an expert in tantra massage, but you don’t have to. You can also do yoni egg exercises at home. Here you can read which yoni egg to choose for getting started, how to clean them, and how to insert them safely. You will also find three simple exercises to start with. Let‘s  get started!

How to Choose a Yoni Egg

Yoni eggs come in different types. You have them large, small, pierced, or solid and made of various gemstones. If you want to buy a Yoni Egg, pay attention to:

• Size
• Puncture
• Stone Type

Size

Yoni eggs are on average 43 – 49 mm long and 30 – 35 mm thick. Which size you need depends on the size of your vagina and the condition of your pelvic floor muscles. If you are just starting to practice or have had children, a larger or average egg is recommended. You’ll feel if it’s right or not. In the long run you can then try smaller variants. A set of three Yoni eggs in different sizes can be useful in such a case.

Puncture

Yoni eggs are pierced right through the top or from top to bottom. This controls the way the string goes through it, but doesn’t affect how you insert or use the egg much.

Stone Type

Beginners are often advised to choose a Rose Quartz or Jade Egg. Jade has been used in Taoist yoni yoga for centuries to direct energy into the kidneys and sexual organs. The Jade yoni egg also stands for gentleness and self-love, just like Rose Quartz. In the Chakra Color Theory, green and pink are also the colors of the heart. There are now yoni stones in all kinds of designs. How about Red Jasper for grounding or Rock Crystal for purification? Reason enough to go for your gut feeling!

How to clean a Yoni Egg and Keep it Hygienic

With yoni egg exercises it is important that you work with clean stones and know when it is better not to insert them. In this short guide to hygiene you will read:

• How to Clean Yoni Eggs
• How to Clean and Charge Yoni Eggs
• Why You Always Use Clean String
• When Yoni Egg Exercises Are Not Recommended

How to Clean Yoni Eggs

You always insert a yoni egg clean and clean it again immediately after use. You don’t want to introduce unwanted bacteria! Moreover, gemstone is a natural product and therefore not sterile. You can clean the egg under cold running water or boiled water that has cooled slightly. If you keep the stone under the cold tap, do this for a few minutes and let it air dry. If you want to sterilize the egg, put it in recently boiled warm water for 15 minutes and let it dry. Do not use boiling water, because then your beautiful mineral will burst!

Yoni Cleaning and Charging Eggs

In addition to a physical bath, you can also Cleanse Gemstones in an energetic way. This can help to remove ‘invisible’ residues such as emotions, thoughts, tension, or negative energy. After that you can Charge Gems so that they have working power again.

Why You Use a Clean String Each Time

With each session you thread a new string through the egg that you throw away afterwards. Use strong thread that will not shed fibers, such as cotton or dental floss.If you choose floss, use a variant without menthol. 

When you Should Not Use Yoni Egg Exercises

It is better not to use an egg during menstruation, pregnancy, or if you have medical problems related to your vagina. If in doubt, consult a doctor or other expert.

How to Use a Yoni Egg in Four Steps

After cleansing, you are ready for your very first session. Here’s how to get started:

• Warming
• String
• Insertion
• Removal

Warm

Gems are cold! Yoni eggs are therefore brought to body temperature by placing them in lukewarm water or by carrying them around for a while.

String

Use a long piece of string or floss, exaggerate if necessary. You want it to hang out when you insert the egg, like with a tampon. When the stone is pierced vertically, tie a knot at the bottom, the widest point. If you have a hole through the top like a pendant, thread the rope through it and tie the sides together near the egg.

Insertion

You insert a yoni egg upside down, i.e. with the wide or convex side towards your cervix. This is how the rope hangs down. According to yogis, it is important to do this with calmness and respect. Yoni means Holy Temple or Source of Life. So take your time, for example, first massage your abdomen or vulva with the egg. When you are sufficiently stimulated, let the yoni stone come close to your vagina. If your vagina tends to be dry, you can buy a neutral Natural Oil and use it as a lubricant.

Removal

You can remove the egg while standing, lying, or squatting on the floor. You do not only need the string, but also help from your pelvic floor muscles. So choose a position in which you can feel it. First pull the string lightly to see what happens. Chances are you’ll need some muscle. Pay attention to your breathing so that you give the egg time to sink.

Cleaning

Discard the string, clean the egg and store it safely.

Three Yoni Egg Exercises

It differs per person which muscles you feel with a stone egg and how you experience such a session. Below you will therefore find three yoni egg exercises so that you can do your own research!

• Sleeping with a Yoni Egg
• Meditate with a Yoni Egg
• Laying a Yoni Egg

Sleeping with a Yoni Egg

The first exercise is simple and relaxed. Take your egg to bed! Put it under your pillow or hold the egg while you doze off. This way you subconsciously get used to your new stone. You will also experience how quickly the egg warms up and how that feels. A good preparation for the more active exercises!

Yoni Egg Meditation

This meditation is a basic exercise for beginners, but also suitable to start every session.

1. Lie comfortably, for example on a couch or bed.
2. Slowly insert the egg.
3. Notice your breathing.
4. Breathe in and out at your own pace for a few minutes.
5. Experience your breathing in your body. First in your nose, then in your stomach and finally bring attention to the egg in your pelvis.

Take your time for this exercise, especially in the beginning. It seems simpler than it is!

Laying a Yoni Egg

In this exercise you try to move the egg back and forth with your pelvic floor muscles. So choose a position in which they can be clearly felt. For example, you can stand, sit, squat or even lie down.

1. Insert the egg and make sure there is enough string hanging out.
2. Experience your breathing in your pelvis as described above.
3. Feel the stone with the muscles around it. You may even be able to ‘suck’ the egg in deeper. For some women this is easy and for others this is a new feeling!
4. Grab the string with your thumb and forefinger. Pull the rope lightly. Can you hold the egg down by counteracting?
5. Watch your breathing. Does it change as you hold the stone?

Experiment with releasing and holding the egg. Move your pelvis up and down, if necessary your whole body. You will notice that this affects your muscle tension!Take your time. If you feel any muscle at all, you’ve already passed!
