Practitioners of naked yoga explain the lack of clothes frees them from negative feelings about their bodies and allows them to be more accepting of their physical imperfections.
Honoring your body is an aspect of practicing yoga, and it’s a powerful thing to connect your breath with your body’s movements. Once you’re in the groove, you feel strong, alive, and content. Some yoga devotees take this to a whole new level by practicing their asana completely free of clothes.
To find out why folks prefer to practice yoga in the buff, read more.
Practitioners of naked yoga explain the lack of clothes frees them from negative feelings about their bodies and allows them to be more accepting of their physical imperfections, like stretch marks, love handles, or cellulite. Others are nudists to begin with and feel more natural in their birthday suit, so practicing naked yoga seems more natural. Whatever the reason to strip and stretch, teachers and practitioners of naked yoga feel it’s a way to find a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you. Plus, if you’re naked, you don’t have to worry about your gals falling out of your top in Down Dog, or wedgies from your underwear. Many classes are geared solely toward men or women, but co-ed classes are also offered. I like my yoga clothed, but to each her own.
Does this sound like something you’d want to try?

Very few people understand that the “personality” that they live reflects the progress that they made spiritually at any given moment in time. Their outer and inner worlds are mirrors that reflect back to them the quality of the outcomes that they created for themselves.
Very few people understand that the “personality” that they live reflects the progress that they made spiritually at any given moment in time. Their outer and inner worlds are mirrors that reflect back to them the quality of the outcomes that they created for themselves. The maturity displayed when you are at work or play advertise who you are and how far you evolved from the barbaric survival orientated being that you were many lifetimes ago. We started manipulating this dimension (earth zone) a long, long time ago. We soon forgot our heritage and started acting out the same survival instincts of the other creations (animals etc.) that we encountered here. We become survival orientated in all our actions and reactions. We collectively and individually soon displayed the “survival” personality styles that we learned by studying nature. The “kill or be killed” and the “eat or be eaten” style of living soon forced us to attempt to outthink, out run and out fight everything that could threaten our survival. I am not going to labour this point. I should one day write a book where I expand extensively on this introduction. The fact of the matter is that many of us gradually evolved into more sophisticated beings that began to display more mature personality styles. We evolved into clusters and finally into societies where each one of us began to develop specific personality styles that are unique to us. Our personality and coping mechanism reflects our history. Some of us are still over the top combative today. The reason for this aggressive and combative style is our failure to overcome the original “fight for survival” instincts that we used originally when we arrived in this dimension. We still view everything and everyone with suspicion. We act and react in a manner that reflects all the characteristics that can be linked to a person in survival mode. Our current actions and choices might be far removed from reality, but we act as if the treats are real and experience the same fears that we experienced many lifetimes ago.
I am sure you can see from the introduction above that our current personality style and coping mechanisms might be a reflection of our ability to overcome the negative and destructive residue left behind in our DNA. We cannot act and react outside our built in coping style until we discover that many of our actions and reactions are destructive and not conducive to our own wellbeing. We might have a strong desire to act with compassion, love, understanding and joy, but fail to achieve these goals because of our more primitive coping style that is active. This is the reason why we have the best intentions in the world, but find that we often fall short of the outcomes we desire.
We will return to this dimension until we improved our overall vibration to a level where we can move out of the trap that we currently find ourselves in. We all know that the space shuttle can only escape the awesome law of gravity when it moves at a fast enough speed. We are the same. We are not in this dimension because we pissed off God or because we are up against a Satan character. We got stuck in this dimension because we got so involved in the silly games played in the matrix that we finally believed that we are our bodies and histories. Our vibration levels lost so much momentum that we got stuck in this dimension.
The only way we can escape this zone is to get our vibration levels up again. This can only be achieved when we become pure again. We were blessed with a control panel that shows us the progress we are making. Our progress is mirrored back to us from holographic world that we created for ourselves. Each one of us contributed to the collective hologram called earth. Each one of us experiences this holographic world in our own unique way according to our perceptions and beliefs. We filter everything and everyone through our belief filter system. Your world that you experience is different to the one I live in. The world that we see today is nothing more than the collective beliefs held by society.
Close your eye and first observe how you currently act and react. Do this in the role of an observer. See what you do or fail to do and what implication it produces in your, relationships etc. This is not done to generate guilt or fear. You need to know where you are if you want to get where you want to be. When you finished this cycle open your eyes for a moment. Wait for about ten minutes and then repeat this cycle. You will this time close your eyes and see how you act and react in a more appropriate and effective manner. You can now experience the joy and feeling of satisfaction that this new mindset will bring into your life. My friends it is just as simple as that. Invest ten to twenty minutes daily and rebuild your life. What you see you receive. Don’t view this as some kind of religious cycle. You have been using this method all your life. Everything you currently do or fail to do was registered in your retrieval system in a similar manner. Notice next time you at act or react in a negative and destructive manner how you call in pictures and feelings as well. All we are doing now is overwriting some of the defect data that you have been using since early childhood.

THE EAT OR BE EATEN WORLD WE LIVE IN
The most effective way to get from where you are to where you want to be is to adjust your attitude. New software must be downloaded into our subconscious minds.
Many take little notice of motivational or inspirational articles, books or posters. Others in turn scan the horizon for anything that promise to magically turn them into unstoppable manifestation machines. We have been flooded with so-called inspirational books and material for many years now. It is almost pathetic to notice how authors, some well known and some that never wrote a book in their life before jump on the bandwagon when a new movie or DVD come out and achieve success. A good example of this is when the DVD’s came out with the titles “What the Bleep” and “The Secret”. An avalanche of books, DVD’s and articles suddenly rained down on us like a thunderstorm. Everyone jumped on the idea of manifestation. Deceptive seeds were sown by well intended and not so well intended authors and lecturers that created the impression that you can simply flop down on a comfortable chair and visualise your way to success and affluence. Millions of books and DVD’s were sold world-wide. The “secret” that turned out not to really be a secret became a best seller world-wide. Don’t get me wrong. Both the books mentioned contain powerful material that could turn your life around, but fail to really explain that visualisation must be followed by sustained action if you want to achieve your objectives. The blue print that governs most of your actions and choices is mirrored in the environment around you that you face daily. Many of us slipped into a certain channel early in life. We then simply become a copy machine that churn out the same old attitude and outcomes in the patterns that we live daily. Very few of us make regular attitude adjustment and modify the perceptions that form the main pillars that we built our lives on. We make the same old mistakes and act in the same manner without stopping for a moment to question the validity of our actions and choices. Our attitude towards life in general and our attitude towards our children, friends, politics, race etc. remain the same. The same responds patterns jump into action when triggered. The most effective way to get from where you are to where you want to be is to adjust your attitude. New software must be downloaded into our subconscious minds. What I find amazing is the reluctance we often display when it comes to the modification of mindsets that no longer serve their purpose. We must reinvent ourselves on a daily basis. We cannot desperately hang onto stuff that is busy poisoning our soul. This message might be the best news you received in decades. The reminder that you as an intelligent human being can reinvent yourself, your relationship, career or anything else whenever you want to must be phenomenal news to you. We often fear change, but look around you and you will notice that growth is not possible without change. They say that you need to reserve a place at the funny farm if you believe that you can repeat the same old behaviour and achieve a different outcome.
