...We all came in our birthday suits - That's how God made us! Nudity is completely natural. In fact clothes can be disturbing, certainly so in aerobics - it prevents airflow around the body. Clothes also invite - encourage growth of germs - microscopic fungi and bacteria, especially in warm humid areas.

Your Perfect Yoga retreat

...tioner. It is your practice and only yours. So how do you find the right retreat?

Close the eyes. Take a long inhalation through the nose. Hold. Now release all breath out of the mouth. Settle into your seat and relax. Imagine you yoga-ing. Imagine the setting. Where would it be?

No. I'm in the tropics, half naked (okay... completely naked) on warm sands with the sound of the ocean's waves cresting upon one another. Breezy palm trees rustle overhead and their shadows offer refreshing shelters. I am far from the office, the phone calls, the expectations others' harbor of me. These are long gone and far out of mind. I am relaxed, warm, at peace and loving life.

Your dreamy setting might be different. It might not. No matter, it's your yoga practice (as the conscious instructor reiterates); therefore it's your yoga retreat.
