Goodbye yoga pants and hello nude yoga! If you’re seeing the #NYGyoga pop up all over your Instagram you are not alone. The hashtag is accompanying the new Nude Yoga trend that is taking over Instagram (and no one is complaining about this flood of images.) Not only is naked yoga the hottest Instagram trend but it’s also the current hot trend in fitness beating out boozy yoga by a landslide.
What is Nude Yoga?
Nude yoga is exactly what it sounds like. Beautiful, bendy, fit women, posing themselves in dramatic positions, while being as close to nature as possible. Which in this case means in their birthday suits. The goal is to use yoga to find new ways to not only express yourself but to find a better body acceptance from there.
When did Naked Yoga become a thing

Believe it or not, nude yoga actually started becoming a trend back in 2015. It all started on Nude Yoga Girl’s Instagram account with the hashtag #NYGYoga. Nude Yoga girl was a 27-year-old model and photographer who started posting her posed pictures of herself to promote body positivity. Her goal was to use her images to inspire people and help them realize that every body is beautiful and capable of doing amazing things.
