Men’s Naked Yoga in Brussels
Come and discover the benefits of yoga without the restrictions of clothing and enjoy being naked with other men in a non-sexual context.
This playful, fun and dynamic yoga class starts with some yogic breathing exercices and a warm up in Kundalini style to make the spine flexible and to raise the body’s inner temperature. Then we go through some sun salutations, a flowing series of body postures (asanas) and some acroyoga exercises in which two or more participants adopt a yoga posture together. The class ends with some yin-style stretches and a deep, soothing relaxation.

Yoga practical
Do arrive in time for your class, five or ten minutes early so as to respect the class and the concentration of your fellow students.
To bring along:
- Your own Yoga mat or a large bath towel
- A blanket, plaid or a second bath towel to keep your body warm during the final relaxation.
- Your good mood and positive energy
About yoga mats:
Here’s some advice for those who would buy their own yoga mat. Do not save money on quality or sustainability of your mat. Cheap yoga mats wear out very, very quickly and will need to be rapidly replaced.
The most important characteristic of a yoga mat are its anti-skid properties, so you get a good grip and you will not slide or fall during practice.
A yoga mat of acceptable quality will cost around 20 euros. In my experience, the best yoga mats are the ones from Manduka, they cost about 85 euros. In between these two examples there is a wide choice, with luckily more and more manufacturers who produce their mats in a sustainable way.
Medical conditions:
Always inform the teacher when you have a medical condition that necessitates extra prudence, or when you are hurt or are recovering from hurting yourself. With conditions such as a high blood pressure or glaucoma you better avoid the inverted postures.
We do our best to guarantee your safety. But please consider that you yourself are responsible for your well being and that you are the guardian of your own physical limits.
Handies and smart phones will be switched off at the beginning of the class.
Food:
Avoid eating within two hours before the start of the class.
Drinking:
It is very important to drink sufficient water after the class, because yoga practice has a detoxifying effect. However, avoid drinking during the class.
