distinctly remember at about 3 years old when I didn't want to be naked in public... I was taking a shower at the beach and decided it wasn't okay to be naked around strangers. I don't know what it was, whether it was a movie I had watched, or something I heard... But I distinctly remember the moment of shame I felt at being naked.
How is it that we are so programmed as a society to reject the natural state of being. To think being naked is unsightly, wrong, immoral, or the ilk?
My first naked yoga picture ever, and it was extremely liberating. In the rainforest of the smoky mountains, with the lush tropical plants all around me, I felt connected to mother earth.
Nowadays I believe all people should be free to wear or not wear whatever they so desire. I'm hoping in my lifetime people will again be free to express their bodies as they see fit.
Namaste beautiful yogis.

freedom of expression the next level.
I completely agree! I was at a topless beach for the first time ever yesterday and wasn't sure what I would think, but it was extremely liberating and somehow turned bodies from sexual objects to just being!
I was thinking about this very topic yesterday when I met up with two friends after they'd had a surf. The guy easily got changed out of his wetsuit with little problems while the girl had to struggle to keep herself covered with a towel - for fear of the nip slip - all while a group of guys was staring at her hoping for just that! It's going to be a long time for society to get to grips with nudity I think...
I once stripped off in front of a few 1000 people, we were at a holiday camp, the changing rooms were far away. I have no problem with naked but the people I was with (girlfriends family) were horrified.
