Naked yoga has been gaining in popularity in the United States since the 1960s, when alternative health centers such as the Esalen Institute in California incorporated it into its wellness programs. The practice reportedly began in ancient India with the monklike Naga Sadhus, who renounce worldly affairs and devote themselves to reaching their higher selves.
"Being without clothes can bring up judgments we may have about ourselves or other people, and this community environment helps us practice letting go of all that in order to simply be present to ourselves and others, just as we are. "We leave judgment at the door," said a local Naked Yoga Philly teacher who asked not to be identified. You may, though, feel self-conscious about having your bare crotch on full display.Ĭlasses are usually segregated by sex, such as the monthly, all-male Naked Yoga Philly that takes place Tuesday night in Center City.
