I’ve been going to Naked Yoga now for about a year and a half and I love it. All the teachers have a different style and are great in their own ways. It is a completely liberating experience and I always leave feeling rejuvenated. The environment is always respectful and the people that attend create a wonderful social atmosphere. After having attended this studio, I have a hard time ever wanting to do yoga at another location or with my clothes on. Can’t recommend this studio and these teachers enough! -Daniel

Testimonials
I was interested in trying this for a long time when a friend invited me to join him for a naked men's yoga class, and I've been back several times now, on different days and with different teachers. It's always a good experience, and sometimes it's a stellar experience. The vibe is really accepting and not intimidating at all. The guys who go are welcoming and friendly, and they come in all shapes, sizes, races, and ages. There aren't a lot of venues where you can say that. The teachers are caring and helpful, and they know their stuff. The yoga itself is sometimes challenging, sometimes not challenging enough for my taste; but I always get something out of it, and I always leave feeling renewed. -Dave R.
Great yoga classes! Great instructors who offer lots of advice and feedback. Love the freedom and safety of practicing naked.
"Ken's classes are always infused with Light, humor, gentleness, openness, clarity, spirituality and lovely guidance. He is really one of my favorite yoga teachers. I enjoy the short spiritual readings he does to offer wisdom words to the mind at the beginning of class and the optional lavender lotion at the end of class that makes me feel totally nourished and nurtured. The classes are just the right balance of challenging physicality blended with time to deepen postures, listen to one's own body intuition, and relax deeply. He has a beautiful energy and deep knowledge of the practice of yoga without artifice or ego." -K.D.
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.
