Where is this yoga class happening?
Vinya Vino + Vinyasa on Balboa Ave. between a Starbucks and a Rent-A-Center.
This venue is a restaurant/bar with a private yoga studio attached inside and to the right. The yoga studio has it's own bathroom attached as well. Class will happen during regular business hours of the restaurant/bar, and the general public will be present, but will not be a bother or concern for class and social time.
What is this yoga class? What will we do?
This all-levels yoga class is great for beginners and those who enjoy a slower paced practice with an emphasis on spine, hip and leg stretching exercises and longer still holds in yoga poses. Come shed your clothes and inhibitions and enjoy a relaxing clothes-free and judgement-free class.
We’ll begin with a standing movement and breathing warm up to shake off anything that isn't serving us to drop in and activate presence.
We’ll continue to flow with simple sitting and kneeling poses for our whole spine and joints. Followed by a brief sun salutation to ground us. We continue flowing through a longer standing sun salutation focusing on finding balance, hip opening, shoulder stretching, and heart opening poses. We’ll hold longer in each posture to find stretch, expansion, stamina and release in the body.
We’ll finish by finding our way back to some seated and reclined poses to enjoy more light stretching for our legs and spine before enjoying a nourishing and restful savasana (closing meditation.)
Who is this class for?
This class is open to all straight, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Queer+ identifying men who enjoy or who seek a naked yoga practice in a group setting. This class is intended to be an all-levels yoga class, great for beginners! Variations will be offered throughout class for those who desire more challenge in their practice.
What do I bring for class?
Please bring your yoga mat, water bottle, and hand towel in case you get sweaty. Yoga blocks and limited amount of extra mats will be available. Feel free to bring your own yoga essentials to support your practice. Light hands-on adjustments will be offered for those interested.
Do I have to get naked?
This class is meant to be for those who seek a naked practice in a group setting of likeminded men. It is a space where nudism is celebrated, encouraged, and available for all. The offering is to enjoy the class free of clothes, inhibitions, judgement, and expectation. If nudism is a newer experience for you, or a lifestyle that you're still curious about but still not feeling ready to take that step, please consider joining for class in just your favorite underwear (thongs, jocks, briefs) and see how you feel about stripping down at your own time and comfort during or after class, or not! No questions asked, no shame or guilt around your choice(s)!
What else does my class sign up include?
After class we offer a complimentary Social until 6:30pm! Stick around and chat with your fellow yogis with some wine, light snacks and some social nudity in the privacy of the yoga studio. You're welcome and encouraged to bring a bottle or snack to share but not required. We encourage you to bring your own drinking cup from home in an effort to reduce the use of single-use cups.
What if I become aroused?
A very common question but this actually happens not too often! It's perfectly natural for men to feel arousal or get an erection in this type of setting, particularly at the beginning of class. There is no shame or guilt around this, and please know it will not be turned into a bigger situation. You won't be asked to leave, nor will it be seen as an invitation of any kind. Your erection will subside once you're relaxed and focused on your practice, and being part of this body positive environment. No sexual acts and conduct will be guided or allowed in this class and Social. The Social is meant to be a way to connect with others. Please feel empowered to chat, get to know each other, and stay connected after class for your own private fun elsewhere :)
What if I'm running late or need to cancel?
