Only a courageous person would do this.

Currently, naked yoga is popular in the United States. It is reported that practicing naked yoga is to have a deeper yoga experience and enhance understanding of the body. So, does doing yoga without clothes really make a difference compared to regular yoga? Isn't the coach embarrassed? How to avoid accidents such as being secretly photographed?

Yoga-clothes = no clothes

Yoga Sunday mornings may be a time for church for many Americans, but for some in San Francisco, it's time for a no-clothes yoga class. The class takes place at a naked yoga experience center in San Francisco, where there is a 90-minute naked yoga class every Sunday morning. Practitioners first sit together, take off all clothes, expose their feet, and engage in pure and clean meditation. Then men and women went to their respective areas, and finally everyone returned to the main classroom without clothes on and gathered.

In fact, coincidentally, in China, a certain yoga themed conference also planned to offer similar naked yoga courses. As the first person to try it, the manager and investor of the yoga studio said in a media interview: "In foreign countries, including the coaches, practitioners must be naked, and men and women practice together, which is impossible in China. Considering the national conditions, we plan to separate men and women into classes to avoid some embarrassment between men and women. But this alone is not enough. At the beginning, there will be a thin layer of gauze between each student. Although it does not have any blocking effect in practice, it will still have some psychological effect, so that the students will not be too shy."

So, does this "no clothes yoga" that is practiced in the naked state really have a different effect compared to ordinary yoga?

How much better is naked yoga than normal yoga?

Anyone who has practiced yoga knows that in fact, when practicing yoga, you don’t need to wear much clothes, and the clothes should be very loose, because too much or too tight clothes will hinder some difficult yoga movements. Especially when practicing hot yoga, if you wear too many clothes, sweat will easily make the skin and clothes stick together, and the desired effect will not be achieved.

So, how much will a thin piece of clothing worn during ordinary yoga affect the results? In this regard, the manager and investors of the Grinding Yoga Theme Conference gave an unexpected answer: "The movements of naked yoga are exactly the same as those of ordinary yoga, and there is no special emphasis on anything. In terms of the effect, it depends on the degree of one's dedication. The purpose of being naked is to remove the constraints of the body and achieve a state of fusion through close contact between the human body and nature. This is the purest form of exercise."

"Naked yoga is a game for the brave. It is actually a challenge, a challenge to fully accept and even worship your own body. The body is neither beautiful nor ugly, good nor bad. However, when practicing yoga, if you pay too much attention to the body, you will not be able to feel the true integration of body, mind and soul. The effect will be worse than wearing clothes."

How to avoid being secretly photographed during practice?

In addition to the effectiveness of naked yoga, more women are considering some privacy issues, such as whether they will be secretly photographed while practicing yoga, which has become a hot topic.

Searching for the two keywords "naked yoga, candid photography" on Baidu yielded approximately 48,400 relevant web pages.

So, how do we avoid this? Industry insiders suggest that when practicing naked yoga, it is best to choose an environment where you feel more at ease. Specifically, pay attention to the following points:

A. If you go to a yoga studio to practice, you must choose a professional, formal, and reputable yoga studio;

B. When practicing naked yoga in a yoga studio, it must be done in a relatively closed place;

C. In fact, everyone can practice naked yoga. For example, when you are alone at home, just close the doors and windows.
