    " One New York City yoga studio has taken yoga’s flexible principles to the next level by offering co-ed, naked vinyasa courses.
    The class, introduced the Bold & Naked studio in Chelsea, is supposed to provide students with a new way to focus on celebrating their bodies and is not intended to be sexually evocative.
    'There are a lot of things that separate us in a normal yoga class, like what brand of yoga clothing you're wearing or how you look when you're wearing it,' Vanessa Kennedy, a naked yoga class attendee, told Reuters. 'But when we're naked, it's like we're all the same.'


    As the studio writes on its website: ‘While many equate being naked with sex, this couldn't be further from the truth in a naked yoga class. It's about being comfortable in your own skin and the amazing confidence that comes with it.
    ‘Practicing yoga naked frees you from negative feelings about your body and allows [you] to be more accepting and deeper connected with yourself and the world around you.’ "

    Would you feel comfortable trying this out? Why or why not?

    There's no way I could practice yoga comfortably with my boobs all fancy-free! I'll leave this concept to the smaller chested women!

    No thanks. With the poses that are Yoga, I don't want to be forced to stare at anyone's butthole, scrotum, or vagina while I'm in pose, nor have them stare at mine. :eek:

    Like many other things,I'd try it out at least one time,and see whether I feel comfortable enough to do it again.
    The basic idea is not so bad.
    I've been nude swimming before (in- and outdoor pools) and it wasn't as awkward as I had pictured it.

    I may go and sign up here in NYC. :D

    Us humans have developed this notion that being naked is shameful. Yet it is how we all come into this world.

    Its all in our head based on cultural practices that nudity is something to be ashamed of and shameful when it is at the end of the day as natural as breathing air. We are the one's that make it more than it is.

    LOL, don't be so coy my lady. After a while we get over it and realize an annoying person is just a naked annoying person, a pompous person is just a naked pompous person, in other words once the novelty of the nudity wears off and you get comfortable you will still see the aggravating traits of us as human beings.

    :smt043:smt043:smt043. This!!

    Besides, if God put fig leaves on Adam and Eve when it was just the two of them and God, I figure it's good enough for me to wear clothes except in the bedroom.

    Not only that, I like mystery. I like using my imagination. I especially don't want to see a guy's junk before we've ever met.
