[VIDEO] Peek Inside Naked in Motion, a New York City Naked Yoga Class and Studio

2018-02-22T14:30:00-05:00

Naked in Motion is an all-nude yoga and pilates class in Chelsea near Penn Station which aims to provide a save space for people to get comfortable with their own body, and get to know it in ways that provide a positive body image regardless of shape or size.

Willow Merveille has been teaching naked yoga classes in New York City and Boston for the past two years. As the founder of Naked in Motion, a naked yoga studio, she touts an inclusive, body-positive space for a diverse clientele, where payment is even accepted on a sliding scale. Merveille lets us into one of her classes where we witness how baring it all is a radical act of self-love, compassion, and — for some — intense personal healing.

It’s an immersion in a counter-cultural social movement that challenges three important aspects of the status quo: a society that tells us our naked bodies are shameful; media imagery that says only certain kinds of bodies are beautiful; and a patriarchal culture that values whiteness, heteronormativity, and cisnormativity.

Learn more about the class in this profile video from our friends at Time Out New York.
