There is a sense of freedom practicing yoga naked, trumpets the Bold & Naked Yoga website. While many equate being naked with sex, this couldnt be further from the truth in a naked yoga class. Its about being comfortable in your own skin and the amazing confidence that comes with it.

Its about knowing, accepting and loving yourself at your core. Part of yoga is to honor and connect with your body. Practicing yoga naked frees you from negative feelings about your body and allows to to be more accepting and deeper connected with yourself and the world around you.

So will it become the next hot yoga or paddleboard yoga? Its unclear, but New Yorkers arent the only ones taking part. A Meet-up group in Minnesota is promoting a one-hour session.
