Nude Yoga

[blacksunshineaz]

I recently attended a men's nude yoga class here in Phoenix. I found the site a couple of months ago and finally got the nerve to try it out. I have had some body issues in the past and this was a good test to see if I could bare all in the presence of strangers. Of course, it was easier since they were all nude too.

Mind you, there's nothing sexual about it. While I did get a semi-erection immediately after taking my clothes off, I sat Indian-style on my yoga mat until the class started and by then my penis was flaccid again. The guys in the class were serious about doing yoga, and while I suspect many of them were gay, I felt comfortable being there because this wasn't going to be some kind of orgy.

I had taken an introductory yoga class back in 2004, which was clothed and co-ed. It kicked my butt. It also delved somewhat into the spiritual aspects which I wasn't interested in. I didn't continue taking classes thinking this wasn't for me.

However, I know I need to get some exercise and lose a few pounds, and the gym membership I had a few years ago wasn't doing it for me. And with my persistent interest in performing autofellatio, I thought this nude yoga class might be worth trying.

This time was quite different. I don't know if it is a different style, but again found it difficult to some of the poses. Some of them required me to be on my hands and knees, and I realized that I should have bought a thicker yoga mat as my knees were killing me after doing poses on a thin piece of foam rubber on a hard concrete floor. My wrists hurt too; perhaps I'm getting carpal-tunnel syndrome or something from all the typing I do at work.

I recall in my classes several years ago that my shirt hanging down when on my hands and knees got in the way and occasionally my shorts were binding doing some poses. Doing it au natural was very freeing and with no clothes to get in the way, I was able to have a range of motion that I couldn't have fathomed with the fear or ripping some sticthes.

Afterward, I was exhausted. My body hurt for days afterward. However, I am sure this is because I am out of shape and I think if I kept going to these classes, I'd eventually get the flexibility to get my penis in my mouth again. It was a better workout than anything I had experienced at the gym with a personal trainer. I broke a sweat not far into the class and hadn't expected that.

However, it's a long drive (30 minutes or so) and my schedule doesn't really allow me to attend the classes. Perhaps that won't be the case in the future, but for the time being I'll just continue practicing my stretching at home.

Glad you gave it a try BSA, and I hope you'll get back to it. It is really lovely doing it naked - you really feel your body in a way you can't when you have clothing interfering with your practice.
If the half-hour seems like too much travel maybe you could make a schedule for yourself to go once a month or something? Sounds worth it to me!

Also now that you know the poses you could possibly do them on your own. I know its not the same but its better then nothing, also the result will be worth the effort.
