Healthy happy you.
I've done hot, sweaty yoga before, and I'll admit that I've even done some yoga poses while naked in the shower, but combining the two and doing a Hot Nude Yoga class just seems, well, a bit too racy for this yogi. Call me prude, but I'm just not into sweating it out spread eagle in my birthday suit. Not to mention, I wear a sports bra for a reason, and I think seeing my jiggly parts as well as Read more
