Testimonials
Whenever I am in SF, I make sure I do at least one session of Naked Yoga. My first class was with Darren Main in 2006. As someone who is somewhat of a wallflower, I was very nervous and apprehensive that first time and am still not 100% comfortable with my nude body in front of others until ten or so minutes into the class and then I eventually get over myself. All of the instructors are very professional and all of the guys I have met in the classes are nothing but kind and supportive. When everyone is naked, it seems to bring everyone's guard and walls down. There are men in the classes of all different shapes, sizes, colors, backgrounds, and with varying degrees of yoga experience. Nobody will judge your body or the amount of yoga experience you have (except maybe yourself). I recommend everyone try Naked Yoga SF at least once. -Brian A.
"In the moment, it feels like not much is happening, but days later the effects of Peter's gentle guidance through restorative poses provides a nearly out of body experience. Give yourself the gift of this class, I promise you'll be glad you did." -Stephen S.
When you want to learn yoga the right way, you need a great teacher! Attending one of Ken's classes not only benefits you physically but mentally and spiritually as well. Ken has a wonderful, fun, challenging sense of humor and knows how to teach a mixed level class. He has great intuition on helping everyone regardless of level, always walking around the room checking and helping. His partner and or circle pose's are a lot of fun and let you connect with others. The fact he is not only beautiful on the inside but also on the outside doesn't hurt either! Give it a try and you won't be disappointed. I highly recommend him! -Jouke Lanning
Why do naked yoga? Besides the obvious question of "Why NOT?" and the freedom of moving through poses without the restrictions of clothing, there's something very gently intimate about taking down the layers of fabric we use to wall ourselves off from each other in subtle but real ways. Moreover, mens naked yoga provides a healthy space in which to do so. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter what age you are or what your body is like. It's not about that here. All the teachers I've worked with have been super sweet, created a very safe and accepting environment, and took us through great yoga. The folks in class have likewise been sweet and open... the vibe is very down to earth and real. I have never experienced a creepy sexual vibe or encountered anything that felt like judgment in this space. -Josh A.
Naked yoga Rocks! I like it so much I don't want to go to a "regular" yoga class. The Instructors are amazing and caring. The mend are friendly and supportive. Take a risk, try a naked yoga class. You won't be disappointed! -Lee J.
