Nude Yoga

Naked Yoga is exactly what is sounds like--doing yoga with no clothing on. In the West where more and more people are becoming comfortable about public nudity, naked yoga is a growing phenomenon.

Naked yoga became popular in the 60's in California, and now more recently it has taken hold in New York City and Seattle as well. The idea of naked Yoga originates in the Ancient Indian Tantric practices. Doing Yoga without clothing helps one to be more liberated both mentally and physically.

Men's naked yoga has been a lot more popular in San Francisco, but it’s not only for gay men. Naked yoga for men is non-sexual.

Naked yoga DVD’s are available if you are shy about doing naked yoga in public. You can also watch naked yoga videos, and do free naked yoga in your own home. There are also videos featuring yoga aerobics naked, with naked yoga pictures as well. Watching a
naked yoga video may inspire you to try it for yourself. There are some free naked yoga videos from the 1970’s when naked Yoga was first getting started.

Women naked yoga, and co-ed naked yoga classes are also being offered in some places. People who enjoy being naked in public enjoy these classes because it helps them to feel free and liberated and able to fully express themselves as they perform their poses.

There are naked Yoga classes in London, and in Cleveland you can take a class called, Buck Naked Yoga. There are retreats in Hawaii where you can do naked yoga on the beach.

While some might find a naked yoga class distracting, others who have embraced a nudist lifestyle might be drawn to the practice. You have to be ready to bare it all in front of a room full of strangers, and deal with feeling completely exposed as you move through your asanas. Shedding your inhibitions along with your clothes could be a liberating experience for someone who has never tried something so bold. But if you are looking for a way to take your Yoga practice to a whole new level, you might want to try doing it in the buff.

Couples who are having sexual problems in their relationships may want to try naked yoga classes, as it has been claimed that it can help to increase sexual drive and lead to a better sex life. While some people clearly enjoy it, not every Yoga enthusiast is going to want to take a naked yoga class. Doing yoga naked may be an acquired taste.
