Twisted yoga: New ways to get your fix

Posted on Aug 13th 2007 12:00PM by Bethany Sanders

They say that mixing things up is one key way to keep yourself motivated and committed to your exercise routine. If you love yoga, there are plenty of unique ways to keep it fresh, including naked yoga, chocolate yoga, yoga for writers, and therapeutic yoga to help heal injuries. There's acroyoga, a more social form of yoga where poses are done together, and even dog yoga. All of these alternatives mean there's something for everyone, even the yoga enthusiast who's looking for something off the beaten path.

I'm not trying to knock anyone's chosen form of fitness, but naked yoga may be just a little too far off that path for me. What about you?

I have been doing naked yoga for years. It really keeps you in tune with your body. Plus you don't have tight gym clothes restricting your movements.

I do own a clothing optional resort in Palm Springs called The Terra Cotta Inn http://sunnyfun.com

We also have guests do naked yoga in the moring sunshine. Mary Clare

I have been practicing naked yoga for men for about 6 years. I wouldn't do it any other way now. I fail to understand the opposition to at least trying it from people who have never tried it before.

I find that those who oppose it without giving it a chance are basing their opinions on fantasy and misconceptions, not on fact.

And the fact is that naked yoga is great. I mean, if you truly want to unify body, mind, and spirit, why hamper the "body" part of the equation?
