Hot Nude Yoga: The Return Week 3 of 4

There's nothing that puts me in a better mood than talking about Nude Yoga. Well, I guess DOING Nude Yoga would put me in a better mood.

Week Three.
I was feeling the benefits of the practice in my daily life. My energy was up, I was feeling more productive. I was writing a lot and feeling vital (I should get my ASS back into class). It reminded me a bit of when I was doing P90X, but my energy didn't necessarily just spike. It sustained. And I just felt more intuned with my body. Plus I would come come and try out what I learned on my boyfriend, which I think he enjoyed. And still does.

There's something about pressing your body weight on someone that takes consideration, attention, care and thought. It is a sensual experience in that way. I guess in our definition of sensuality and sexuality, it seems weird that you would be naked and paying attention to someone in a way that doesn't lead to you having sex to that person. But that's what I enjoy about the workshop. It allows us to face some of our prejudices, then tear them down. Or hold on to them, I guess. That would be the other option. Just get caught up in judgment. But for me, I really tried to put that aside.

And this week was difficult in particular in that regard. There was an older, short Mexican man who was my partner the first week and I always felt he was trying to cue himself up to be my partner again. If I'm speaking honestly, I would say that he's not really my type. And that's not what it's about, but I also wanted to connect with some other people. The point of the workshop isn't to partner with one person the whole time. But then again, maybe that was my projecting. So I partnered with him and just focused on the practice.

Since the workshop, I haven't been doing much yoga. I try and exercise as much as possible, but nothing centers me like the practice. I need to get back into it and shift my energy around.
