MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS

Naked Yoga Los Angeles welcomes guys of all races, religions, national origins, sexual orientations and ages (18 or over).

Naked Yoga Los Angeles was founded, in part, as an alternative to nudist clubs which tend to be dominated by out–of–shape men. In our first year, we admitted only very in–shape guys as members. In our second year, we admitted guys of all fitness levels.

Over time, we found that classes work best when we focus on our core membership of in–shape guys. Widely divergent fitness levels can slow the pace of classes and make partnering difficult.

In order to focus on our core membership and keep classes challenging and unified, we have reinstated a stricter admission policy.

To be admitted as a new member and participate in our Level 1 and 2 classes, we require the following:

• BMI (Body Mass Index) under 27.

  Maximum weight for BMI under 27
  5' 4"	—	157		5' 9"	—	183		6' 2"	—	210
  5' 5"	—	162		5' 10"	—	188		6' 3"	—	216
  5' 6"	—	167		5' 11"	—	194		6' 4"	—	222
  5' 7"	—	172		6' 0"	—	199		6' 5"	—	228
  5' 8"	—	178		6' 1"	—	205		6' 6"	—	234

• Absence of injuries, health conditions, physical conditions and mental issues that could pose a risk to the health or well being of the practitioner or other members.
• Unfiltered, uncensored access to the internet so that you can make reservations for classes.
• Strongly recommended: Minimum twice weekly intensive workout program that includes aerobic activity and/or Yoga.
• Most important requirement: a great attitude. We love guys who smile a lot, take things in their stride, and cultivate an attitude of grateful appreciation for the blessings in their life.

To participate in our Level 3 classes, we require the following:

• BMI under 25.

  Maximum weight for BMI under 25
  5' 4"	—	146		5' 9"	—	169		6' 2"	—	195
  5' 5"	—	150		5' 10"	—	174		6' 3"	—	200
  5' 6"	—	155		5' 11"	—	179		6' 4"	—	205
  5' 7"	—	160		6' 0"	—	184		6' 5"	—	211
  5' 8"	—	164		6' 1"	—	190		6' 6"	—	216

• Minimum twice weekly intensive workout program that includes aerobic activity and/or Yoga.
• Two months or more Yoga experience (10 classes minimum)

A separate application is not required to attend Level 3 classes. Once you are a member, you can decide which classes you'd like to attend.

BMI is not the same as Body Fat Percentage. To calculate your exact BMI, please go here or here.

Our BMI guidelines are based on standards for healthy weight, fitness and reduced disease risk set by the World Health Organization, National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

We are not rigid about BMI guidelines. For example, bodybuilders may be considered to be a normal, healthy weight, even with a BMI of over 25. Or you may have a BMI of slightly over 27, but a strong commitment to fitness with an intensive 5 day a week workout regimen. If you are a bodybuilder or have any exceptional circumstance, please say so in the comments section (last question) of your application.

We are, however, strict about the "great attitude" rule. If you are rude, unfriendly, dishonest or make other members (including staff) feel uncomfortable, your membership may be terminated.

Because of the long period when we admitted guys of all fitness levels, and because we still admit guys who are over their ideal healthy weight, you may see varying fitness levels in our classes.

Memberships may become inactive after six months of non-participation. If you have not participated in six months and your member number no longer works, you may need to reapply.

Please provide accurate information on your application— driver's license, state ID or passport may be required to enter classes.
