There are very few venues where men can come together and connect spiritually, mentally and physically in the absence of sexual tension. This is a great opportunity to experience nonsexual male intimacy. There are a number of reasons to practice naked. While our society often equates being naked with sex, other cultures have found that being naked removes many social and economic barriers. It is also very freeing to move the body without the restriction of clothing, and yoga provides a great way to deepen body acceptance. Also, being naked can bring up many of our vulnerabilities. By facing these fears in the context of a safe and supportive community of men, we naturally become more grounded and comfortable with ourselves. Men of all shapes, sizes, colors, ages and physical abilities are welcome to attend. Whether you are straight, gay or bi, new to yoga or a long time yogi, you are welcome. All you need is yourself, a bottle of water and a towel.
