Dragontitty studio is proud to create a safe space for individuals to explore and strengthen their connection with their body through mindful practice of Naked Yoga. Naked yoga is a powerful practice that transforms our psyche and leads us to a deeper sense of self-acceptance.

Our goal in providing this event is to build an inclusive community, to promote personal growth and promote body positivity, self-acceptance and self-compassion.

Naked Yoga builds a stronger body-mind-spirit connection, by removing external influences and allowing you to let go of your inhibitions, and without judgement from society and limitations.

The meet up is all gender and non sexual. We welcome all types people and abilities. Some previous yoga experience is helpful but not necessary. The group is led by an experienced yogi and uses basic yoga poses.  

It is free to join, donations are welcome.

Group Rules

It’s naked

“You were born naked and should feel comfortable with that. Nobody was born with shame”

Safety and mutual respect

This is a personal practice, concentrate within, do not stare or comment

Our classes are for personal practice, and we are here for its physical and psychological benefits. As we practice together, you need to make sure that everyone around you feels as safe and free to explore as yourself. So, be mindful and respectful to others and their experience.

This means – concentrate on own practice, don’t stare and refrain from any comments about others, even if you mean them to be positive. If you want to share your experience (for those who wish to participate) do so after class, in teacher’s presence and when dressed.

If we feel that your behavior makes someone uncomfortable, we may ask you to leave. If you feel that someone is breaking this rule, please let us know. Everyone’s wellbeing is our main priority.

Triggers

Naked yoga practice can be very beneficial, but it can also trigger difficult emotions, especially if you have history of trauma.

If you have some difficult experience, you can discuss them with the organizer after class. If feelings get overwhelming during class, you can always take some relaxing comfortable pose, take a few deep breaths to calm your mind. Try to notice your emotions and reactions, but do not judge yourself or mark them as good or bad – be neutral and let them pass. Do not be shy to cry – it helps emotional release. If you feel so overwhelmed that you need to leave the class, seek the organizers assistance and they will help you to leave the space without disrupting the class.

Physical assist – yes/no cards

Just as in a regular yoga class, we may offer physical assists in poses. If for any reason – that we do not need to know – you do not want physical assistance in a certain pose or at a certain moment, use your yes/no card.

Erection – all get aroused, give space to work it out, be mindful

Arousal can happen involuntarily, and it does not need to be sexually inspired. It happens to all of us, but it’s just more visible on some people. It can happen to a person next to you – so be aware and try to give them space to work it out. If it happens to you, do not worry. Just go on practicing if you’re comfortable but be mindful about others. Take a resting pose, if you prefer.

Confidentiality

People who come to naked yoga classes, have their own, sometimes very personal, reasons and goals. The process of healing can reveal one’s vulnerability and trigger strong emotional reactions in class, that can make people feel embarrassed afterwards. Also, because nudity is not yet commonly accepted in our society, some people may want to share their experience only with chosen ones.

For these reasons, our default rule is – what happens in class, stays in class, identities of participants included. Should you meet other practitioner that you are not acquainted with – except for attending our class together – please refrain from greeting them first, unless the person very obviously shows eagerness for interaction.

No cell phones

Let’s keep it safe, simple and comfortable for everybody. No phones inside the room.

Hygiene

We highly recommend to bring your own mat to Naked Yoga classes as well as other yoga props (blocks, straps) if you know you will need them. If you borrow studio’s mat be sure to bring a yoga towel.

Sobriety

Sobriety is mandatory. If you show signs of intoxication, you may be denied, to a single class or for prolonged period of time.

No late entry

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the class. The doors are locked exactly on time and class starts. No exceptions.

While practicing naked yoga you cease to be self-conscious when you realize that nobody is looking at you or judging you, irrespective of your body and who you are.
