Nude Yoga for Men with Mischa

Welcome to Nude Yoga for Men!

In our weekly classes we come together for the experience of working with our body and breath in a vinyasa yoga class, in the company of like-minded men, enjoying the feeling of freedom that comes from nudity.

We will practice a dynamic style of yoga, including postures (asanas), breathwork (pranayama) and meditation.

Why yoga for men?

Let’s face it: Coming into a regular yoga studio as a man usually means that you are a minority. For various reasons, yoga has been looked upon by many as a women’s “thing”.
Sure enough, the first thing many men notice on entering a yoga studio is that they’re in foreign territory.
The result can be a somewhat lonely experience. Which is a shame because the feeling of liberation and embodiment coming from yoga can be a very communal and socializing experience. It is striking how people connect much more with each other after the yoga class, than before it.
So, this is an opportunity to enjoy all the physical and mental benefits of yoga in a group of like-minded men, to share our male energy and also to allow vulnerability in a safe space.

What is vinyasa yoga?

Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic type of yoga that links movement and breath to attain focus in the mind, and build strength and flexibility in the body. Meaning in Sanskrit “to place in a special way,” vinyasa yoga combines an ever changing sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow of movement and energy.

The classes are for students of all levels and ages.

However, a basic level of fitness is recommended – we are going to sweat!

Our teachers:

Christian works as a GP, yoga teacher in ashtanga and vinyasa yoga, and masseur. He enjoys giving playful and challenging yoga classes, and sharing his insights about and from yoga with others, in group classes and 1-on-1 settings. Besides teaching the practical aspects of yoga, he also likes to study and debate about yoga philosophy and its implications for our daily life.

Henry began his yoga teaching journey more than 12 years ago in Los Angeles. After co-founding a yoga studio in Hollywood and running it for three years he decided to take his yoga offerings to Amsterdam. Over the past eight years, he has taught at many yoga studios around Amsterdam, as well as run retreats in Mexico and Spain. His classes are playful, challenging and light hearted.

Tijs is a life coach, mindfulness teacher and masseur, who is specialized in in-depth bodywork. He works with body awareness, loving attention, direct experience and tantra. He gives weekly workshops for playful discovery to connect with yourself and others.

Mischa was a dancer for 20 years, before he became a yoga teacher. He likes to make his classes playful and challenging; stimulating strength, suppleness and physical awareness, in a way that is not competitive, so that each student can work at his own level. For Mischa, yoga is not primarily about improving or changing yourself. It is about befriending your own body and mind, and becoming better acquainted and at peace with yourself.

Yogi-Saya works in HRD/Labour-Health Psychology, next to that he is a yacep teacher, yoga teacher in vinyasa, hatha, kundalini and nidra, and a certified masseur. He is creative and a professional experimentalist, his vision is: 'Don't think out of the box, there is no box'. The joy he gets from teaching is from smiles on the faces of others.
