Twisted yoga: New ways to get your fix
Diet & Weight Loss, Fitness, Motivation
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?

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.
