Naturists and Yoga

There seems to be a new trend among naturists worldwide, and that is to explore various alternative healing modalities and teachings, and also introducing these to the members at different resorts. One alternative practice that is gaining popularity is Yoga, and being naturists (nudists) this is being done "au natural". For me, there is a wonderful feeling of freedom to receive healing outside, being one with nature, experiencing the sun and cool breezes on the skin - this is an additional option at Shaktigardens, to offer healing and massage outside at the pool on a warm sunny day. You can then take it one step further, join a naked yoga class. It has to be a wonderfully liberating moment to join other naturists to pracice yoga outside (weather permitting) without the restrictions of any clothing!

Back in the 70's a book was published - titled "Naked Yoga" - if you lucky you might find a copy on Amazon.com - I am surprised it has taken this long for this particular form of yoga to become popular. At Harbin Hot Springs (USA) they were already practising naked yoga in the late seventies.

If you enjoy the naturist lifestyle and wish to join a nude yoga class, then contact us as we would like to cater for all people. If there is sufficient demand, we will offer this as an additional class at Shaktigardens. The venue lends itself to this form of yoga practice, our garden is private and we have a large room which can accomodate 8 people comfortably for yoga classes. We can make the facility available day or evening, and even weekends.

We currently have a regular yoga class on Saturday mornings, and do not foresee any problems hosting an additional classa for naturists.

Be blessed
