NuYoga?


Apparently, there is a new trend in the US.
It involves nude people and a series of positions, which all have indian animal names.

Yes, I am talking about YOGA. Actually in this case NUDE yoga.
Or what they wittily call NuYoga or Hot Nude Yoga for those of us who need a little more explaining.
Those Americans. Have to come up with nicknames for everything.

Anyway, back to the issue at hand.
So apparently, you are supposed to feel MORE comfortable performing all these really difficult positions, while keeping your balance AND being in the nude.

I know what you are thinking now and NO, the classes are NOT mixed.
They have separate male and female classes only. And as confirmed by the leader, it is strictly exercise we are talking about here.
But knowing the US, they will definitely start having mixed classes any day now.
The founder of NuYoga, Aaron Star, claims that clothes are unnecessary. They only cloud our egos and make us feel uncomfortable.
He also claims that after some sessions, one comes to grow more content with one's body and the shape it has......What??!?! Excuse me?
So standing in front of a mirror in our birthday suits, trying to be an acrobat in front of 15 other naked people is going to help us with our self-esteem???

PUUUUULEASE PEOPLE.

Note to self: Never attempt to do yoga in the nude. Even if it becomes a hype.
