A liberating evening of wholesome naked yoga for men and women.

My mixed naked yoga classes are a 1.5 hour nourishing experience where men and women gather for an ambient evening of wholesome naked yoga.

I have been teaching mixed naked yoga classes since 2017. In this time, I have been honoured to have guided hundreds of nude yogis through their yoga practice.

The beautiful thing about my naked yoga offerings is that they are representative of diversity and are welcoming and inclusive of first time nudies, first time yogis, seasoned nudies, seasoned yogis, and a combination of all of these! So, rest assured, wherever you fall on this spectrum…my classes are totally accessible and cater to this array of diversity.

I find so much joy and fulfilment in teaching my mixed gender naked yoga classes. I feel privileged to stand at the front of the class, stark naked, leading my students through their practice. Witnessing radical transformations in many who step foot through the studio doors. Helping people to feel more comfortable and confident in the skin they’re in…helping them to lead a more liberated and empowered life.

My classes are pioneering a lasting legacy as us nude yogis are paving the way for a more body-positive culture and leading the charge on the advocacy of improved body image and the normalisation of non-sexual nudity.

What’s involved?

Generally, these blissful 1.5 hour classes are held in the evenings.

  • Arrive at a luxurious and ambient space - I encourage students to arrive 10 minutes prior to the class to find your spot in the class, to dress down and to breathe (yes, you arrive clothed).

  • 1 hour yoga/asana practice - classes are beginner-friendly and vary from vinyasa, to restorative, to hatha, to yin; I like to change it up.

  • 30 minute social circle - I invite students to stay on and sit around and chat over some tea, kombucha and light refreshments (vegan friendly) - and yes, we stay nude for this. This part of the experience is a highlight for many participants as this is a really great opportunity to converse and connect with like-minded people.

  • Photo opportunity (totally optional of course!).

  • Depart feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, connected and nourished!

*With the intention of facilitating ongoing connection and creating a community of like-minded nudies for my nude yogis, I have created a private Facebook group for all of my nude yogis where they can stay connected, keep up-to-date with all of my upcoming classes, other nudist-friendly events and post anything yoga and nudist/naturist-related. As well as that, we also have a private chat group to make communication and connection easy and accessible.

New to social nudity? Never done yoga before?

I have newbies in every class I teach. For many of the fresh faces who continue to walk through the doors into my class, they are experiencing a first for themselves. For some, it may be their first time experiencing social nudity. For others, their first time practicing yoga. So whilst many participants have become seasoned regulars who now frequent my classes, many of them also started off having never stepped foot into a yoga studio previously! For some of them, my naked yoga class was their stepping stone into social nudity…and for a few of the bold ones, my class was their first ever yoga class and social nudity experience…at the same time!

So as you can see, my mixed naked yoga classes are a beautiful combination of regulars, beginners and fresh faces…and so they are inclusive and accommodating for people at all different stages of their yoga journey, their body image journey, their nudist journey.

If you’re new to social nudity, these classes are the perfect way to get involved and experience it in a safe, non-judgemental and relaxing space. With myself and the friendly regulars in attendance, there is an ever-present sense of community and support…and this only continues to grow. Many of us will remember what our first time socialising nude was like. Some of us may also remember stepping foot into a yoga class for the first time…it can be intimidating! Remember, you’re not alone and we’ve all been in that boat…so we’ve got you! We all have to start somewhere, right? And that’s just what many of my students have done; taken the first step. A little bit of courage is all it takes to get started.

The Space.

I love creating a sacred space in which we can bare it all and practice. My classes have become recognised for the beautiful and enchanting spaces in which they’re held. In ensuring privacy and discretion, it is a safe container in which we have the support to let go and surrender.

I set up the space with love and intention so that there is an instant sense of relaxation upon arrival. I go above and beyond to create an ambient atmosphere that invokes feelings of serenity, relaxation, warmth and love. Think candlelight, incense, heavily overtones of ambient music and feeling the warmth of the heaters meet you as you step into the space…

My intention is to have the space nurture and melt away any nerves, anxiety or fear that you may be experiencing. I understand the vulnerability involved in such an experience, and so I host the majority of my classes in the evening in candlelight.

In acknowledging the nerves, anxiety and fear that some may experience, creating a beautiful and relaxing space that respects and nurtures this part of the journey can make all the difference for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

What to bring?

  • Yourself, an open mind and a positive attitude

  • Clothes to arrive and leave in (there is a secure room in which you can remove your clothes and store your belongings)

  • Your own yoga mat (essential)

  • A towel (essential)

  • A bottle of water if you wish

As my reputable and renowned classes continue to grow and thrive, my love for teaching these classes also continues to expand as I guide a combination of avid nude yoga enthusiasts, first time nudies and first time yogis through 1.5 hours of wholesome and blissful naked yoga.

My naked yoga classes offer students an opportunity to discover more of a wholesome practice that they can then transfer and integrate into any which part of their clothed lives…on and off the mat!

As I stand up there at the front of the class completely naked in a room full of people, my vulnerability gives me strength to stand up there in all kinds of poses with confidence and a very real sense of self-acceptance. I feel honoured rather than sexualised. Respected rather than objectified.

Diversity and inclusivity are two foundational pillars upon which these classes are built. My classes are representative of all different shapes, size, age, colour, gender and professions.

Safety first.

My intention is to create a safe space which harbours respect, trust, safety and inclusion. I take very seriously the fact that many are entrusting me with their security, safety and privacy and I do my absolute best to make sure that nothing or nobody potentially compromises this.

In saying this, I have a zero-tolerance policy…meaning any misconduct, inappropriate behaviour or remarks that make any participants, including myself, feel uncomfortable, will result in you being asked to leave the class immediately. You will also be banned from attending any of my future events. Given the sensitive nature of such an offering, my attendees’ safety and security is my priority.

My mixed classes are private and require a verification process for this very reason. I work closely with the ‘Young Nudists of Australia’ to ensure that participants and potentials are verified prior to being able to book a spot in my class. I intend to uphold the utmost integrity in what I do to keep my classes a respectful, respectable, safe and sacred space.

 

Join us on the mat.

 

Maybe you are working on self-acceptance. Or perhaps you want to feel more confident and comfortable in your skin? Maybe you enjoy practicing yoga without your shirt covering your face in downward dog? Or maybe you simply enjoy being naked. Well, the men and women who attend these classes are testament to the fact that people can enjoy non-sexual nudity and, even better, benefit from it.

Radical self-acceptance can be contagious. It is, in the least, inspiring…and I hope to be able to pass this on to my students. To inspire this through my actions and my Being. To inspire students and onlookers alike to manifest a world in which nudity is no longer shamed, judged, profane or vulgar; but rather normalised, accepted, celebrated and embraced.

So whilst many walk in as first-time yogis, I am humbled that many now continue to practice regularly with me as their teacher… and I hope that one day you, too, can join us on the mat.

  • The average size of a flaccid penis is 3.6 inches (9.2 cm) long with corresponding average girth at 3.7 inches (9.3 cm)

  • The average size of an erect penis is 5.1 inches (13.1 cm) long with corresponding average girth at 4.6 inches 11.7 cm (11.7 cm)

    …and then some of us may be familiar with ‘growers and showers’? If not, here’s a little info on the topic…

+ I’m worried that I might get an erection…

  • Men can experience several erections during the night whilst they sleep, mostly in the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of their sleep cycle, and these erections can last for extended periods of time…hence the reason many guys wake up with ‘morning glory’ even though they’ve not been sexually aroused or stimulated.

  • Male erections are so natural that male foetuses can actually start experiencing erections in the womb…that’s how early this natural phenomena can start occurring…and there’s nothing sexual about that!

+ What do I do if I get an erection?

+ Because it’s non-sexual nudity, I’m not allowed to be attracted to anyone?

+ Why are the events password-protected?

+ Why do I have to be verified to attend?

+ What is involved in the verification process?

+ Do I have to be in the group photos?
