Nude Yoga

Exercise that'll make you shed more than stress

This is pretty obvious. Nude yoga is the practice of yoga with no clothes on. If this is your preference, there are a couple of things to think about. Will you be distracted from your practice by your own nudity or the nudity of others? Will the environment support me? In other words, will you be chilly doing the slower paced poses.

Doing nude yoga as your home practice can be very satisfying. It can help you tune in to your body's flow and rhythm more deeply. Watching your muscles move and noticing your own alignment can help provide information for making pose adjustments and corrections. You will likely learn things about your body that you did not know by observing it au natural.

If you sleep in the buff, doing a nude yoga routine just before bedtime will make the transition from practice to bed easy. A restful sleep will likely follow.

And just being nude and doing an activity can be a liberating experience in our somewhat prudish and sexually confused society. Clothes, after all, are an invention. We arrived on earth bare naked only to be forever swaddled. Be free. Try a nude Tree Pose and see how your limbs feel.
