Yoga beginner looking for online initiation or other beginners
Return to DiscussionsHi new stretchers!
I've been doing yoga for about a year and it has helped with my bendability and even a little with my mental state. I moved from my home area a few months ago and haven't found any nude yoga in this area so far. I miss the heated nude yoga classes at The Elements Yoga studio in Charlottesville which I used to attend every chance I got. It is given by a man and woman and is geared more for newbies to the nude yoga. They keep the room at 103 degrees and have a state of the art HVAC system in it which changes the air every five minutes and the air is from outside, never recycled, one hour session, $30.
I decided to invest in an online nude yoga source a few months ago and haven't been disappointed in any way, True Naked Yoga. They send me a new session every week and I can manage most of them, though there are some advanced positions I just can't handle (at 61, yah know). I got signed up for it during one of their promotional periods so I pay $11.24 a month, it's $15/month regularly. I first learned of this group through some videos that somehow made it through youtube sensors for a time but now it seems to be all gone from there. The women yogis are very lovely and they do have a few guys if you're into it. My only real (though minor) complaint is that I wish they had more normally-physiqued teachers - everyone's a little too beautiful. What's a guy to do? The voice-over instruction is spot on and done in a soothing voice, and they do categorize as to the level of experience and length of each session, so you can gear up or do a quickie if you don't have much time. My favorite yogi is Mel who's always smiling and keeps herself smooth, very sweet! Another favorite and my first is Nikki by the pool - twenty minutes that does get my sweat rolling in a good way.
The only free nude yoga on youtube I can find any more is here:

It is admittedly of low quality and the voiceover dude giving instruction is completely annoying. The good side is it's FREE and the women are pretty. Be ready though, it'll challenge at over fifty minutes.
Check out naked yoga school on Vimeo or Naked in Motion on Patreon if you want good online yoga instruction that happens to be nude. Not free but much of the stuff that is free isnt actually good.
