Practicing Yoga is altogether a liberating experience. Yoga is a philosophy in life that helps in the overall development of your body and mind. In fact Yoga helps you take your soul beyond your mind and body. Among the most liberating techniques in Yoga, Naked Yoga or Nude Yoga has been given immense importance.
What is Naked or Nude Yoga?
As the name suggests, Naked Yoga is a yoga technique practiced without any clothes on your body.
Benefits of Naked Yoga:
The initial feeling attached to this concept of shedding your clothes and being naked might be very unappealing and also offensive. But when practiced, this opens up new liberating horizons for you. It teaches you that there is nothing uncomfortable about your naked body. In other words, it liberates you by making you feel ‘at home with your body’.
Naked yoga may prove a hard task to grasp in the initial days. This is because nudity can be very distracting and may be a challenge to your concentration. But, with regular practice and with the help of your Yoga instructor, you can win over these distractions. The major objective during the sessions of naked yoga is to enable you to feel free in your body and eliminate concerns about your physical imperfections. This technique can help you win over the discomfort about your body and self-consciousness.
Nudity is usually discussed as a socially unaccepted practice in both eastern and western continents; because of which naked yoga has been taking a back seat in all continents. But the positive motive of this yoga has been converting many Yogis to become ardent proponents of naked yoga.
In a nut shell, naked yoga encourages a new appreciation for the physical, mental, and spiritual being in your self.

I am a registered yoga teacher and been teaching coed nude yoga for 4 years now. The benefits you cite are indeed real. But, it isn’t as much of a challenge as people make it out to be. The nudity isn’t a distraction - that is a silly premise.
My classes are based on the idea of respect, respect for your self and others. The class is designed to make sure that people are comfortable, in an honest, sincere and safe way.
Unlike so many “hot nude yoga” classes which seem more about the “hot” and the “nude” than about the yoga, my class is all about the yoga and nothing else.

People I know who do their yoga at home in solitude generally do it naked, for reasons of naturalness of feeling and to more completely fill the physical with consciousness/energy. The question is really whether or not a sense of modesty suggests we cover some parts of our nudity when with others, especially in close quarters.

[…] Yoga couples? Inappropriate yoga guys? No, the next frontier of things that make us ashamed to be yoginis is Naked Yoga, which is gaining in popularity. According to one website, naked yoga “teaches you that there is nothing uncomfortable about your naked body. In other words, it liberates you by making you feel ‘at home with your body,’” Because regular yoga just isn’t body-liberating enough? Gah. However, the same site cautions, “Nudity can be very distracting and may be a challenge to your concentration. But, with regular practice and with the help of your Yoga instructor, you can win over these distractions.” What distractions might those be, we wondered? […]

Naked yoga is the only way to go. Curiously, the naysayers out there typically have never tried it, so they are reacting on fantasy, not fact.

If you have never practiced naked, you are not whole.

Doing yoga nude is the only way to do it. Particularly in hot climates.
I prefer to practice my yoga in solitude and in the nature, in this way it becomes meditation in motion and I feel like I am one with the nature.

I’ve been a nudist for years and it has taught me unity of mind body and soul. Yoga should do the same, so combining them seems natural. Now, if only I could find a group near me.

Yoga is amazing. Doing it naked is sick perversion of a wonderful and healthy practice. Wear a leotard and keep the revolting nudity for the bathroom.

“Yoga is amazing. Doing it naked is sick perversion of a wonderful and healthy practice. Wear a leotard and keep the revolting nudity for the bathroom.”
Since when is nudity “revolting?” There is nothing sick nor perverted about the human body, and if you call it “revolting” then I think you have a few issues with your own.
