Naked Yoga
It's exactly what it sounds like: doing yoga while completely naked. And not just in the privacy of your own home, either, but in a class full of other people. The idea of naked yoga is that class goers get to "shed their binding clothing" and "free themselves of judgment and body consciousness." Call me old-fashioned, or uptight, or whatever, but as beautiful as the human form is, I don't think a class like this is for me. Even if I did manage to get over my (perfectly normal) self-consciousness at being completely in the buff in front of complete strangers, I'm not sure I could adequately concentrate on the meditation at hand with everybody else's naked selves contorting and stretching and sticking up into the air in front of me.
Now, I might consider trying it in my home, alone. That could be spiritual enough, because I don't need a dozen other people in the room doing it with me to feel free and natural. No, not so much.

I second that yuck. And I sure hope everyone brings their own mat--don't think I'd really want to share one with the last naked yoga student who used it.
(So Rigel, did they give you this topic to make up for National Blood Pressure Awareness Month? (zzzz) Or do you all have to dig up your own stories? I'd say you'll get a few more page views on this one!)
