" You might have heard about yoga in the nude before. It&amp;#x27;s not new, but the gals over at FitSugar recently pointed out that this kind-of-shocking variety of yoga has recently been gaining popularity. Here&amp;#x27;s why ...&amp;quot;Believe it or not, there are many non-sexual reasons people choose to practice without their capris and halters on,&amp;quot; write the FitSugar bloggers. &amp;quot;Some veteran yogis are looking for a new and different experience, while others are trying to overcome weight or body image issues. Some appreciate the clarity of seeing the instructor&amp;#x27;s body, and some just like Naked Yoga because it&amp;#x27;s &amp;#x27;taboo.&amp;#x27; Others feel that being naked is very spiritual and healing, and the physical shedding of their clothes allows them to emotionally shed negativity and judgments.&amp;quot; But, they do warn that some naked yoga classes can get a little, well, weird. So it&amp;#x27;s always best to do a little research before taking the plunge. Would you try yoga in the nude? I have to tell you there&amp;#x27;s absolutely no way I&amp;#x27;d do it. It has nothing to do with body image or fear of nudity or anything else--I just like to keep my clothes on in public. (And this is a big no brainer, but if you did decide to attend a class--I would stay away from the communal mats ... for obvious reasons.) Photo: iStock"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
