Testimonials

"Restorative yoga with Peter is an extremely relaxing, calming, and self nurturing experience. Unlike a typical flow class, which can pump up the volume and work you out in a sweaty series of asanas, Peter's restorative class allows you to go inside and relax deeply, holding poses using various props for a more prolonged period of time. This quiet holding is both challenging and soothing at the same time. It is a wonderful way to spend an evening, and truly is a gift to yourself." -Tom Mason

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.

"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.

Ken is responsible for me starting my yogic journey and I finally had the pleasure of taking his Tuesday naked yoga class in San Francisco Sun Room. I have known Ken on/off for a number of years and have always thought of him as a gentle soul with a kind heart. His actions in class proved my impression of him to be accurate. Ken is courteous, professional, kind, gentle, playful, and attentive to all. He provided modifications continuously so everyone could attempt the poses irregardless of our yoga experience. It's a honor to call Ken a friend and now (another) one of my yoga teachers who inspires me....I look forward to taking more of his classes. -Peter W.

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
