While having a sexual intercourse, when the penis goes in and out of the vagina it pushes in some amount of air that comes out when you are relaxed. Same with exercise or striking a yoga pose. If any kind of positioning of your body causes air to be trapped in your vagina there are chances that the air will let out either that time or sometime later from your vagina making a fart sound.
