Testimonials

"Went to Bare Yoga yesterday and I can't stop thinking about what a surreal experience it was. I breathed so deeply, stretched, posed, cried, laughed, screamed, writhed, came(? I'm pretty sure lol), and felt so relaxed and at peace... It was out of this world! @LiorAllay, the instructor, surely must be some kind of ethereal magician ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ˜ƒ" GBMG

"I wanted to reach out and let you know how much my partner and I enjoyed your Bare Yoga class on Sunday. After the class we both felt amazing and full on calming energy. The overall group dynamic was great too. I especially liked all the personal shares and inspiring words folks were sharing at the end. Thanks for making these classes possible!" - Tori & Paul

"Before I attended my first bare yoga class, I carried a lot of shame around my bodyโ€™s appearance, so much so I even struggled to catch a glimpse of myself nude in the mirror. After 2 classes and integrating my experiences, I am stunned by the transformation. I feel so much more confident, creative, and free. I even enjoy being naked now and seeing myself nude in the mirror which at one point in the past seemed impossible. My ability to enjoy life and have fun has even increased as Iโ€™ve released the shame I was carrying. Iโ€™m already signed up for my 3rd class and cannot wait to stand even further in my power." - Bern

"This was one of the most beautiful and intentional practices I've ever attended. The group itself was infused with such love and welcoming energy just lined up outside that even before I entered the studio I knew I was safe. Once the session began, I was transfixed by the work itself. Being a yoga novice I struggled a bit with the poses but I never felt out of my depth, it just made me want to practice more. The meditation, breath work and sound bath that followed were incredibly cathartic and centering. I left feeling renewed and deeply calm. Can't wait to go back!" - O.B.

"All the shame I felt about my body - about how it smells, looks, sounds - it all just melted away!" Sarah A.

"This was unlike any yoga class Iโ€™ve ever taken! + it wasnโ€™t just the nakedness. Having permission to be curious + creative about personalizing my experience really made the difference. I'm so used to having to listen to the teacher + feeling bad if I can't keep up or achieve a pose that everyone else can. With the freedom to 'disobey' the rules + listen to my body was completely unique." - Lindsay K.

"I wish someone told me sooner that you don't have to learn self love alone."

โ€œWhat a transcending experience!โ€ - K.W.

"If youโ€™re tempted to come to a bare yoga class but youโ€™re not sure yet... take the leap!! Youโ€™ll be so glad you did!"

"I felt a massive shift halfway through the Breathwork! A powerful energy filled my entire body and blew away every blockage, every resistance. It left my fingertips tingling with light!!" - Ilana M.

"Iโ€™ve never been so comfortable being seen. I had no idea how much I really NEEDED that. I'm finally falling in love with my body - for what feels like the first time"

"I have a neurological disorder that affects my fine and gross motor skills. Basically that means movement is awkward looking + honestly it was what I was most nervous about today, though I do have a lot of confidence issues Iโ€™m working on. The environment + culture everyone established was one of the first times in a long long time I didnโ€™t worry about how I moved or how I look + I wanted to thank you and by extension the rest of the class for that. Iโ€™m already looking forward to next month." - G.E.

โ€œLiorโ€™s class was such a liberating and and wonderful experience. To just be in acceptance. No judgment. No shame. Just to be free as a human among others and feel the sense of community around you. It was comforting. Nurturing. Soothing. I canโ€™t recommend it enough. Try it out. Youโ€™ll be glad you didโ€ - J.A.

"I attended todayโ€™s class and this was the very first class of your that Iโ€™ve attended. I wanted to express my gratitude for creating such a welcoming and inclusive environment. My yoga practices have always been more power flow types. This was a whole new experience that had me leaving there with more questions than when I arrived. I was confused, and also in awe by peopleโ€™s ability to just let themselves go and to release their inner feelings. I found myself unsure how to feel about that and about myself. Why couldnโ€™t I let go? Why canโ€™t I quiet my mind? Why do I always have to be in control? My 45 minute drive home gave me a lot to think about but most importantly I wanted to thank you for opening the door to some self exploration." - D.C.

"The class was absolutely amazing. The class was skillfully led, with intention and care. I genuinely enjoy being naked around others. To be able to be vulnerable, and nude while connecting with myself was amazing." - R.D.

"The space felt warm and inviting, and safe to drop into the atmosphere.. The longer Breathe practices was so liberating and powerful it took me to the dream state and felt stagnant energy leaving my lower body and clearing - it was an epic out of body experience for sure!" - F. T.

What is Sliding Scale Ticket Pricing?



Secure:

The highest cost reflects the true cost of the class or service. It is the cost that the practitioner would charge all students in the absence of a sliding scale.

IF:

  • You have access to financial security, own property or have personal savings
  • You have relationship resources + can ask others for financial support, such as family members, partners, or friends
  • You are able to pay for "wants" + spend little time worried about securing necessities in your life

THEN:

  • You have economic security, privilege, + power in our community
  • This price is for you.


Stable:

The middle cost reflects the practitioner's acknowledgement that paying the full cost would prevent some folks from being able to attend, but who do not honestly find themselves reflected in either descriptions for the highest cost or the lowest.

IF:

  • You are struggling to conquer debt or build savings or move away from paycheck to paycheck living but have access to steady income
  • Your basic needs are met
  • You are not spending most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs such as food, shelter, medical care, child care, etc

THEN:

  • You have economic stability in our community
  • This price is for you



Needing Support:

FOR: BIPOC (non-white), SWrs, pregnant or postpartum mothers, trans (not cis-gendered not heterosexual), disabled, Femmes, fat bodies +/ neurodiverse community members

The bottom cost represents an honest acknowledgment by the teacher and practitioner that there are folks whose economic circumstances would prevent them from being a part of classes if there was not be a deliberate opportunity made for them to access services at a cost that is reflective of their economic realities.

IF:

  • You struggle to maintain access to basic needs such as health care, housing, food, child care, etc
  • You are living paycheck to paycheck, are under or unemployed, + are in significant debt
  • You are rarely able to purchase new items

THEN:

  • You need economic support from our community.
  • You belong here, this price is for you.
  • You deserve a community that honors your price as equal an economic offering as the person who can pay the highest tier.


Please be mindful


if you purchase a price at the lowest end of the scale when you can truthfully afford the higher ticket prices, you are limiting access to those who truly need the gift of financial flexibility.

Being honest with yourself + your financial situation when engaging with sliding scale practices grows strong + sustainable communities based in justice. It also respects the work of teachers + creators, like myself, you have families to support + rent to pay. When I am paid fairly, I am able to invest more time + resources to free + lower cost offerings.

Creating a Culture of Consent

In Consent Culture, people feel in control of their bodily autonomy + boundaries. They feel free to change those boundaries at any time according to their individual desires and needs.


Consent Culture is about having respect + compassion for ourselves + all others.

Consent Culture is a culture in which interactions are collaborative and as mutually agreeable as possible.

DISMANTLE the culture of coercion by creating safety, fun, + ease.


We can help grow social structures that are based on caring + collaboration, rather than individualism + competition.

- Creating Consent Culture by Marcia Baczynski + Erica Scott



Community Agreements
We are each responsible for our own energy. To create a brave space, we agree to follow these boundaries:
  1. Enter the arena together! That means everyone is equally vulnerable. Voyeurism is not welcome. Participation is key.
  2. Show up! Respect everyone's experience by arriving to class 5 min early set up rather than interrupting the experience with late arrivals. Doors close 10 min after class starts. No late entries or early departures, it interrupts the experience for everyone. You must be present for the duration of the class start to finish.
  3. Honor your limits! Be honest about your capabilities. This is not a competition. If you encounter pain at any time, slowly come out of the movement + communicate so we can make adjustments. Your needs are not an inconvenience. You are autonomous over your experience. Advocate for yourself, what you want + what you enjoy!
  4. Take in the beauty of the body + engaging with ๐•Ÿ๐• ๐•Ÿ-๐•ค*๐•ฉ๐•ฆ๐•’๐• ๐•Ÿ๐•ฆ๐••!๐•ฅ๐•ช: Clothing is optional, you may dress or undress to your comfort as we practice. The only rule is do not ๐•ค๐•–๐•ฉ๐•ฆ๐•’๐•!ze the experience. You may feel ๐•ค*๐•ฉ๐•ฆ๐•’๐• energy awaken within your body, that is welcome + OK! However, we don't act on our arousal, or subject others to non-consenting involvement in our arousal experience.
  5. Unplug! This is a lucid + tech-free event. Leave your phone OFF and IN YOUR CAR, do not bring it into the studio. Arrive sober with no substances on your person.
