Nude yoga has existed in India for more than 5000 years and is practiced by a particular sect of yogis called Naga Sadhus.Naga means nude and Sadhus means a person who has renounced the world completely including sexuality.They believe that by letting go all their worldly possessions and desires, would strip them off all egos and thus enable them to attain “samadhi“.
However, Nude Yoga classes that is spreading in the West stem from Tantric tradition which includes sensuality and sexuality as a means for spiritual development.The goal of Nude Yoga is to encourage proper body alignment during asanas without the constraint of apparel, promote body awareness as you stretch more deeply into the pose and promote acceptance of the body in it’s natural state without any form of judgment.
