How did it all start ?
The concept of nude yoga has been derived from the Ancient Indian - Tantra Yoga. This yoga ensures your holistic health improvement like other forms of yoga. Shedding clothes puts the person in a liberated mental and physical state for enhancement of satisfaction while it also greatly ensures your desired attainment from yoga practices.
Apollo and Herakles, the male Greek Gods and ancient patrons of sport, were often depicted as naked.
In the city of Sparta it was considered the norm for adult men to be attracted by the beauty of young boys. The question was how to express these desires ? and so the custom of exercising in the nude came in. The association with pedasty is obvious.
This custom spread throughout Greece and the Olympic games were almost totally conducted in the nude. As a result, foul play was hard to disguise but if discovered the culprit was immediately chastised in full public view. The chariot race, however was one of the few disciplines to escape such exposure owing to the fact that the body wasn’t available to be aesthetically admired. It is believed that religion played a very important role in the nakedness of the competitors as the winners would often be represented as a nude statue in temples.
I am not sure it would go down too well if our athletes were encouraged to participate in their chosen field disrobed. After all, who wants to watch a load of sweaty young men running across a field after the ball or hitting the ball to each other across the net. (No puns intended on any word) Where would you look? Swimming is an obvious recreation that is much nicer done naked without the restrictions of swimwear. Naked aerobics is of course, in the vogue too.
Nude yoga is also connected with metaphysics. Its practitioners claim that they get much needed tranquility and salvation by practicing nudist yoga. It is no accidental nudity.
The practice of Yoga requires only the barest of essentials and is often a preferred way to attain total absorbtion
