Greetings - we now have a wonderful core group of dedicated yoga enthusiasts who meet every Monday evening at 7pm to celebrate the freedom that Skyclad (naked/nude) yoga offers. For some it has been a liberating experience, shedding restrictive clothing and allowing themselves to be free.
These classes provide a unique experience that allows a breakthrough of any body insecurities and thus develops a sense of balance of mind, body and spirit. All erotism is left at the door, here we seek purity of thought within the class.
Our intention is to provide a safe haven, a sacred space in which you feel one with the group and not judged on appearance or physical attributes, a sacred space in which we build a nurturing environment where can develop our physical and spiritual inner being while developing awareness
The classes can be defined as "non-sexual", non-judgemental, and accessible to all races, religions and cultural backgrounds. You need not have any yoga experience, and the novice as well as experienced practitioners may join. The poses will be adjusted to suit your physical capabilities and practitioners are encouraged to listen to their bodies
If you wish to discuss this first with us please feel free to contact Don

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Naked yoga is the practice of yoga without clothes. The practice is gaining popularity, notably in western societies that have more familiarity with social nudity. While many practice naked yoga at home, there are a growing number of participants, including children, in group classes. It is becoming popular in Europe and USA.
History
In the West since the 1960s, naked yoga practice has been incorporated in progressive settings for well-being, such as at the Esalen Institute in California, as depicted in the 1968 film Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice. Other films with notable segments include The Harrad Experiment and Naked Yoga(1974).
In New York City in 1998, an American going by the name Jayadev started a group called "Midnight Yoga for Men" where participants practiced "naked before the infinite" in the style of the sadhus. Aaron Star, owner of Hot Nude Yoga, began his version of nude yoga in April 2001 becoming an instant "underground sensation" as quoted by Time Out New York. Because of the success of Hot Nude Yoga, nude yoga groups began to blossom all over the world, from London, Moscow, Madrid to Sydney. Many of these male-only naked yoga groups have been associated with the gay community, though often not intentionally. One Taste Urban Retreat Center popularized naked yoga after it was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle.
