Nude Attitude

Send to a friend

Would you try the latest au natural yoga trend?

A shocking craze is hitting the yoga scene. Tongues (and other parts) are wagging. Are you ready for...naked yoga?

Nude yoga studios have been cropping up in cities like New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and even Salt Lake City. Fans claim that classes aren't sexual; they come back again and again for the empowered and accepting community feeling.

Intimidated to try this ourselves (after all, VJ's Bikini Body Challenge is still three weeks away--stay tuned!), we turned to Isis Phoenix, founder of Naked Yoga NYC. "One day, I got out of the shower and went straight to the mat," she says. "I had such a transformative experience--I really found total body acceptance. I was focused on the strength and integrity of my practice and my body."

Too shy to try a class? Try this sequence to get buff in the buff at home:

1. Start with mountain pose and roll down into a forward bend.
2. As you roll down, take the time to look at your whole body. (No negative thoughts allowed!)
3. Roll up after a few breaths.

Your asana is showing.
