Our meet-up group’s hope is to create a safe space for women to practice yoga with other women in the most limitless ways possible. Clothes can be limiting, in a physical, emotional and spiritual sense: Physically, the clothes limit the way we move.  Clothes are limiting. That is their basic purpose-–to limit your body’s experience of the elements, and to limit other people’s ability to see your body. Practicing yoga nude liberates your body, and doing it with other women heightens your sense of …
