Yoga in the Nude?

Hot nude yoga, as it’s known, is becoming a large trend, especially in the gay communities (men-only groups). Of all the trends we post about this one definitely caught my attention. I’ve personally taken yoga in which the temperature of the studio was in the 90 degree range but we didn’t do it nude! Of course the United States didn’t create nude yoga (it’s been done, presumably, for centuries in countries like India) but it’s now gaining popularity. I could understand that doing yoga in the nude would allow people to connect in a non-sexual way and not having any barriers between others (difference in clothing etc etc) but many people aren’t as open-minded. America, with its prudish attitude that’s still based on Victorian values definitely wouldn’t allow this to be mainstream. This could be a reason why it’s becoming more popular in the gay community.

So readers if your yoga class became a nude one (hypothetically) would you embrace it or diss it?
Will all-women classes form, regardless of sexual orientation?
Would you consider hot nude yoga a trend?
