Nude Yoga is a Thing Now, a Good Thing

Feel like doing yoga but don’t feel like putting on clothes? Good news, nude yoga is now a thing trending on Instagram.

I have no clue why this is now a thing. I’ve been doing nude yoga for years. I guess I should have taken pictures of myself for social media.

There’s no real goal for nude yoga. People say it’s to show appreciation for your body and that it will inspire others to do yoga, but that’s not actually true. Seeing hot people naked just makes me feel worse about my body, and if I wasn’t doing yoga before, I’m not doing it now just because there are pictures of other people doing it. Like, it sounds good in theory. But you still have to do that part where you bend in ways that you’re not supposed to bend.

Instagram user nude_yogagirl started this trend and I appreciate that her username describes what she’s all about.

Plenty of people have participated in nude yoga. You too can participate. Just use the hashtag #NYGyoga and make sure to include a picture of your naked self in an odd shape. Or, just look at these people doing it and get back to your Oreos. That’s what I’m doing.

Just a heads up, if you were thinking about spending your day creeping on the #NYGyoga hashtag on Instagram, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news. Only certain posts are shown because the content doesn’t meet Instagram’s community guidelines. I assume people put more emphasis on the nude than the yoga part of this challenge.

Guess you’re stuck looking at goat yoga or beer yoga.
