If you’re new to social nudity, these classes are the perfect way to get involved and experience it in a safe, non-judgemental and relaxing space. With myself and the friendly regulars in attendance, there is an ever-present sense of community and support…and this only continues to grow. Many of us will remember what our first time socialising nude was like. Some of us may also remember stepping foot into a yoga class for the first time…it can be intimidating! Remember, you’re not alone and we’ve all been in that boat…so we’ve got you! We all have to start somewhere, right? And that’s just what many of my students have done; taken the first step. A little bit of courage is all it takes to get started.
This is a naked yoga class and so it is expected that participants practice in the nude. If you’re feeling a little nervous about getting nude, you’re more than likely not the only one.
Sometimes the time between getting an idea and actually executing it can be a long interval. About two years ago when my wife was doing art school and bringing home lots of drawings from her “life studies” classes, I got the idea to create a satirical image based on a class. In that I wanted to revert the roles whereby the model was clothed and all the class were nude.

Wood expects up to 17 students in the Figure Drawing class that relies on nude models.
