Strip off and start connecting with your body with naked yoga
Ready for some sex-positive stretching?
I'm a big fan of naked yoga - there's something incredibly powerful about stripping off and doing some stretching with some other dudes.
The best naked yoga classes I've been to are a combination of solo poses and partner stretching - leaning into the sexual energy that inevitably builds in a room full of naked guys getting sweaty and tactile. It's a combination of yoga, stretching, and a low-level horny vibe that I really respond to.
I guess you could call it sex-positive yoga for sex-positive men. That's the kind of naked yoga experience that I want - a space where boners are celebrated and consensual physical intimacy is encouraged.
Partner-work is kind of essential to this sort of experience - regularly switching who you're working with means that you get to spend time with everyone in the room. When you're skin to skin with another man, there's really nowhere to hide - you have no choice but to allow yourself to be vulnerable, to be present.
For me, this style of yoga is one of those examples of "doing the healing" and not "talking about the healing required".
Therapy is great, but talking about your trauma, your isolation, your alienation, or your loneliness can only take you so far. Once you've been able to identify and articulate what you're feeling, you need to do something about it.
Getting your clothes off, doing some yoga stretches, and connecting with other men is one way in which you can "do the healing" - it's community-building at its most primal.
I've been running a weekly lunchtime session of naked yoga in London, each Friday. Because of my trip to Australia and then the festive season, I'm pausing these for now but they will resume from the beginning of 2026.
From January, I'll also be offering a monthly Erotic naked yoga session. Erotic yoga will begin with some solo stretches, moving into partner work, and then finishing with masturbation as we lean into the sexual energy we've created.
