I tried naked yoga today..

[josho]

@relliott28 ... There are people who wear clothes to do yoga at home?

 

[m%C3%BCcahede]

@josho Bra and underwear only for any at home work out, not just yoga. It's too hot in my apartment for anything else.

 

[isoter]

@josho Yes but only because I have dogs lol

 

[mikumiku]

@josho Haha I always wear my full workout getup when I exercise at home. The only difference is I'll wear just a top instead of a sports bra. Working out with my boobs flopping around and sweating all over my yoga mat or exercise bike just does not sound appealing.

 

[josho]

@mikumiku Hadn't thought of that. I don't own any bras because I don't have a lot to flop.

 

[mikumiku]

@josho I'm also one of those weirdos who doesn't mind wearing bras. I'm not wearing them in quarantine and they're not HUGE or anything, but I like something to keep 'em strapped in place hahaha

 

[hopeful4cure]

@josho I most definitely wear a sports bra and undies. My boobs would quite literally hit me in the face in downward dog without it.

 

[8erkid]

@hopeful4cure Yeah I tried it briefly once and then ended sropping because my boobs were out of control for anything remotely upside down.

Although maybe it would be better for poses where my boobs get in the way when they're strapped down!

@josho I love clothing optional practice! Sometimes I like to feel cute in workout clothes...sometimes I just hate the restrictions of clothes. Of course, I live alone so I spend a disproportionate amount of time in the nude regardless hahaha

Glad OP could experience it, even just once!

@relliott28 Oh my god i’m tearing up (
I’m so proud of you! You’ve inspired me to try that one day (hopefully in the near future!)

 

[relliott28]

@heavenbound777 Thank you! I don’t know if this will become something I do regularly or not, but it definitely gave me a good foundation to stand on moving forward. Best of luck to you!

@relliott28 This sounds like such a cathartic experience. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Have you tried mirror work? That was instrumental in containing my body image/self esteem issues, and from this post, it seems as if you'd like it.

 

[nievellecruz]

@esnipe Standing and smiling at myself in front of a mirror did way more beneficial things for my payche than I could have ever imagined lol. I make sure to look at myself in the mirror every day and just...let it be

@esnipe Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to start a mirror work practice today.

 

[mtol117]

@esnipe I have tried something similar in a yoga class where we silently stared at our partners. Maybe a different purpose but also very confronting and introspective. But I would like to try this method!

 

[relliott28]

@esnipe I haven’t. And from the brief read I just did, I think you’re right. It definitely sounds worth a try. Thank you!
