Albuquerque Men's Naked Yoga

Summary: About this Group

Here's the current approach for this group:

• We follow all Kommunity Policies. 

• You must be 18 years of age or older to attend in person or online.

• Events may be online only (Zoom), In-person, or a mix of both.

• Each class may be provided by different instructors.

• You may be asked to sign waivers for classes.

• Locations may be a rented facility or at private homes.

• There may be minor cost per class for leader and facility, based upon the location and instructor.  See event description.  
 

If you have interest or ideas here or would like to lead or host a location for a class, please contact the co-organizer, Mike.

Men only?  Coed?

Primary focus of this group is safe space for men (cis and trans), but we may teach Co-Ed (men, women, non-binary, etc.) classes - which will be clearly labeled.  If you are concerned or have questions, let us know.

About Yoga

Yoga is a time-tested approach to exercise your body and spirit in a practice of continual personal improvement - strength, balance, flexibility, and spiritual harmony in a structured, communal practice. Shedding our clothes, and our last shield of society's labels, and exposing ourselves, with all our imperfections and vulnerabilities, and natural beauty, in a nonjudgmental, safe environment, is a most liberating path to self-discovery and self-respect. Come join us for a great work out among some health-conscious men on their path to better fitness, conditioning, and inner exploration.

What to Expect

• Non-judgmental, friendly environment.
• No need to be experienced or in shape.
• Expect and demonstrate respect.
• Honor your own body's ability to perform moves and forms.  Too hard? It's OK to rest or perform another form.
• This is not a sex event during yoga.
• There may be optional and consensual touching in partner yoga moves, usually hands, feet, back, etc.
• There may be social time before/after an event.  Check the particular event.
• Arrive 10-15 minutes early with your supplies, disrobe, and be ready on your mat to start on time.
• There will be a restroom you can use at the location.
• Men may fear arousal more than nakedness.  Don’t worry. No one judges and if you stay aroused through the class, you need a tougher class!

Instructors

• The instructor is usually Mike.
• Guest instructors are welcome and may be scheduled.  See event details.
• Other instructors are welcome to post their events here.  Talk to Mike.

Cost

• Usually free if online or in person.
• Some venues we may require a fee to use their facility.  See event details.
• Although classes are usually free, there are expenses to hold these classes.  If you wish to donate to support them, you are welcome to do so.

What to bring

• Your yoga mat. We suggest at least 6 millimeter thick mat for hard floors.  We do have some mats to share.
• Your towel. This is used to wipe sweat or as an extension for some stretch moves.
• Your bottle of water.
• (option) Your duffel bag to hold your clothes and belongings.  No lockers are provided.

How to prepare yourself

• Clean your back end before or at your arrival to avoid sharing your smell.  Wiping with toilet paper is insufficient.  Please use bidet, wipes (don't flush), wash or shower.  Overall good hygiene is also appreciated.
• No collogue.

History of this yoga group

This group was originally founded by Dan Hohman, who would host in-person free sessions on the NE side of Albuquerque, advertising on Meetup.  In 2018, Mike took over sessions when Dan moved out of town for long periods, with sessions in various venues and welcoming guest instructors.  During the 2020 pandemic, virtual Zoom yoga sessions were added, leading to a growing following across the USA and world.  Post-pandemic, sessions are both virtual and local.  In early 2025, Mike moved the group to Kommunity due to declining value and problems on Meetup.

Other Kommunity Groups

While you're reading, it can be hard to find groups on Kommunity, because you cannot search for "private" groups.  Others I know about are here:
