This October, social media was hit by a unique trend that had women across the country dropping their yoga pants for a more freeing exercise ensemble. The trend was naked yoga, originally started by the Instagram phenomenon known as Nude Yoga Girl. The 26-year-old anonymous social media star managed to accumulate more than 6 million followers in an effort to encourage women to celebrate their bodies regardless of shape or size.
Recently, this online trend has left the limits of the screen for a more legitimate realm — nude yoga classes. From New York to Boston, Portland and now Denver — nude yoga classes have gained popularity among those who looking for an alternative way to celebrate their sport and their body.
