The trend that we might skip for a moment...

We wrote on Friday about yoga with a glass of wine (seems like a great combination to me), and now I've been whispered a new trend. Straight from New York, so undoubtedly soon in a gym near you. Naked yoga.

And yes, I fear that is exactly what you think it is. Now, I already find yoga without socks quite intimate. All those feet, those toes, the discomfort over chipped nail polish on your toes or that fungal nail you (winter, right) had momentarily forgotten about. But then… Naked.

I don't know where to start noting the discomforts during such a class, but I'll just start.

  • The downward facing dog

And then having your neighbor in front of you on your mat.

  • The child pose

And then that dad from the playground behind you

  • The warrior (just look it up)
  • Or what about the wide legged boat pose)
  • Not to mention the exercises à deux, or in pairs like the square pose where you fold both of your bodies into a square.
  • In the category of duo poses, there's also the wide legged, forbend and I can tell you: that's just the 69 of 2020.
  •  Then I haven't even mentioned small air displacements or bodily fluids leaving on obvious places.

I can tell you one thing, that Bikram temperature is not necessary. Just thinking about all this already makes me intensely warm. Bye!!

Now that we're at it: five crazy yoga trends

And things that annoy me to death during a yoga class
