Naked Yoga

Naked Yoga

Expand your mind-body connection through the practice of Naked Yoga. Practicing yoga without clothes allows each person to uncover their own relationship to nudity while inviting vulnerability through movement and community. This class offers an opportunity to deepen your understanding of yourself by exploring body awareness and self-acceptance. Yogis of all experience levels are welcome!

Naked Yoga is facilitated by Joel, who will guide you through introductions, ground rules, pranayama (“life force” breathwork), and a vinyasa flow. Consent, safety, and bodily autonomy are central to the practice — every body comes with its own boundaries, and those boundaries are honored without exception. Rather than focusing on sexuality, the practice invites you to look inward toward your sensuality — your relationship to your body and the five senses — within a supportive and inclusive environment.
