Publisher's summary

Hello, fellow freedom-seekers and curious cats! If you’ve picked up this book, chances are you’re either a seasoned yogi looking to spice up your practice, or you've stumbled upon it while trying to reach for a more conventional yoga book and thought, “Well, this looks interesting!” Either way, I promise you’re in for a treat—a rather revealing one at that.

I’m your guide on this bare-skinned journey, a long-time nudist who believes that the best things in life are enjoyed naked—yoga included. When I first swapped my yoga pants for my birthday suit, I was looking for something—I wasn’t quite sure what. Maybe it was freedom, or maybe I just wanted to save on laundry. What I found was a revolutionary way to connect with my body and the space around me.

Why naked yoga, you ask? Picture this: you’re in the middle of a sun salutation, you reach up, stretch back, and instead of feeling your shirt tighten or your leggings creep up in places they shouldn’t (we’ve all been there), you feel... nothing. Just the air, the stretch, and an incredible sense of liberation. It’s like being a kid again, minus the awkwardness of puberty and plus the wisdom of knowing that bodies are just bodies—they’re not as shocking as society would have us believe.

Now, I know what you might be thinking: “Yoga’s challenging enough, and you want me to do it naked? What if I bend over and—” Ah, I see you’re ahead of me. Yes, things will be on display. But here’s the punchline: everyone’s too busy trying not to fall over to focus on your exposed bits. And trust me, balancing gets a lot easier when you’re not tangled in spandex.

This book isn’t just a series of “how-tos” for contorting your naked self into a pretzel (although, trust me, we’ll get to that). It’s also a celebration of what our bodies can do, and a challenge to the taboos that keep us from fully embracing them. It’s about taking the principles of openness and acceptance that yoga teaches us on the mat and applying them, quite literally, to our bare selves.

Throughout this guide, I’ll share with you the poses that have helped me and countless others feel more grounded and less guarded. From the simple serenity of a Mountain Pose to the triumphant joy of a well-executed Crow, each pose will be an opportunity to shed not just your clothes, but your insecurities, your doubts, and maybe a couple of inhibitions.

So, whether you’re a newbie nudist, a yoga guru, or just a regular person looking to free themselves from the tyranny of tight yoga pants, I invite you to join me. Unroll your mat, shed your garments (and your reservations), and let’s embark on a journey to find freedom and flexibility, one naked pose at a time.
