16-September-2008 16:15:10 - yoga For the 1974 film, see Naked Yoga film. 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 group classes including Children. Contents 1 History 1.1 Public environments 2 Motivation 3 References 4 Further reading 5 External links 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. This spawned a plethora of imitators. Many of these male-only naked yoga groups have been associated with the gay community1, though often not intentionally. Teaching in the Grimbergendubbel Yoga school, Annalise Haigh has been a driving force in the popularization of Naked Yoga in Australia. One Taste Urban Retreat Center23 made Naked Yoga world famous after it was reported in the San Francisco Chronicle. Teacher Merh Medland incorporated high level hands on healing/energetic surgery, intuitive body work, vipasanna practice and sensuality to create as she describes it, a sacred space where groups of people experienced highly transformational experiencing while tapping into their multi-dimensional energies. She is currently living in Santa Barbara, CA teaching Sexy and Spirited at the Santa Barbara Athletic Club. Public environments Recently, San Francisco courts found that George Monty Davis aka Naked Yoga Guy is not committing a crime by practicing naked yoga in a public place4, but rather a variant of public nudity. On June 10, 2006, World Naked Bike Ride Seattle5 held a brief yoga program at Madrona Park Seattle, a park in the City of Seattle's Parks Recreation system. The program, led by Matt Meko of Mekosun,6 incorporated use of the riders' bicycles in a mid-ride stretch. Matt Meko has offered naked yoga in the Seattle area for men. Mekosun led the yoga for WNBR 2007, again Madrona Park, guiding 57 cyclists with partner yoga and stretching.citation needed Motivation Many participants find it thrilling to go outside of society's norms, greater freedom of movement due to the absence of clothing and the liberation from having to wear expensive yoga outfits are common motives to practise naked yoga7. Other motivations are the acceptance of one's own body with all its imperfections and to open one's heart 8.
