ABOUT NYL: This class is for men interested in the practice of yoga without the restriction of clothing. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for comfortable male spiritual community. We strive to create an atmosphere of self-acceptance, empowerment, and by fostering mutual respect, body consciousness and peer support. While nudity is an intrinsic part of the experience, this class is not designed nor intended to create a sexual venue or to foster erotic energy.

WHAT TO EXPECT: Our classes are diverse, and likely you will meet men with the same curiosity, confidence and skill level as yourself. It’s normal to feel nervous the first time, yet we strive to create at sense of safety and comfort in the space for your practice.

ADDITIONALLY: I am also teaching a men’s basic yoga class with clothing. If you are interested or know someone that might be, please email jcolbsmi@yahoo.com.

LASTLY: I am certified in Yamuna Body Rolling. It's a technique similar to massage, but focuses on body alignment and joint mobility. It's done on a massage table in the privacy of the studio.
