SEATTLE Naked! Yoga and Pilates

NAKED IN MOTION COMMUNITY RULESNaked!:Nudity is mandatory, but we make accommodations for accessibility. For example, we recognize that people need different tools for managing menstruation. Having your period doesn’t necessitate wearing bottoms though; it’s okay if your tampon string shows, or you leak a bit on your mat & towel. Participants may opt to use items such as binders, bottoms, or prosthetics to manage trauma or gender dysphoria.The goal of beingNaked!is to practice self-compassion and body acceptance, which requires experiencing bodies as they are, and this can be challenging for many people. The purpose of accommodations is not to avoid this challenge, but to remove obstacles which prevent engaging with it.As with comments about others' appearance, we do not allow comments on others' accommodations. If you have a concern, ask us privately. These examples are not an exhaustive list, so if you need accommodation, just talk to us.Everyone MUST be an active, willing participant and at least 18 years old.Consent:All physical contact must be consensual. We’ll provide a system for silently opting-out of adjustments during class. If you opt-in to adjustments, the instructors will ask for verbal consent before offering touch corrections. You can change your mind at any time, and any answer is acceptable, so know your boundaries. Anything less than an enthusiastic “yes” means “no.” Our consent policy applies to all situations, including physical contact that may seem appropriate in a clothed setting (e.g. hugs, moving through a crowd), so ask for permission before touching anyone before, during, and after class, even while clothed.No Cruising:Please maintain the desexualized atmosphere of our classes. Nudity is not an invitation for personal advances. Don’t ask to meet up with people outside of class or make personal invitations to other events. If you'd like to publicize other events aligned with the NiM mission, speak to Willow directly. Also, please do not make comments about anyone’s body or appearance, including compliments that may seem benign (e.g. “your hair looks nice”). We’ll prioritize the experience of the recipient over the intention of a compliment, so err on the side of caution! This applies to live events and online platforms (e.g. Meetup, Patreon).Be Respectful:We welcome all adults who abide by our rules and treat others with respect. Body-shaming or hateful comments of any kind will not be tolerated. Be aware of your gaze: it’s okay to look around if you get lost during the movement, but take care not to stare or focus intently on others.Cell Phones:Cell phones are strictly prohibited while clothes are off, including after class, so please silence them and put them away. If you need to use your phone while anyone is Naked!, please put on clothes and exit the studio.The Erection Question:Signs of arousal such as erections are physiological responses that are as involuntary as sweating. If you experience observable arousal during movement class, just ignore it, or take Child’s Pose if you prefer. If you exhibit signs of arousal while socializing after class, please put on clothing for the comfort of some participants.No Latecomers:Everyone is expected to be on time to hear the rules (even if you've heard them before). The instructor is permitted to close the entrance five minutes beyond the scheduled start time. Once clothes are off, no further entry will be permitted, NO EXCEPTIONS, and we don't refund latecomers. Please do not knock or disrupt class in an attempt to gain late entry.No Lingering:Following the conclusion of class, please exit the premises in a reasonable amount of time as directed by the instructor. Do not wait to be alone with an instructor or student after class.Be Sober:Sobriety is mandatory. If you exhibit signs of intoxication, we may ask you to leave.Responsible Use of Props:We strongly encourage you to bring your own mat & towel, but some of our studios have mats available to rent. If you rent a mat, YOU MUST BRING A TOWEL. Please do not let mats, props, or straps come into contact with your genitals. Be mindful: don’t sit on communal studio props, and put blankets or bolsters UNDER your mat.If you experience or witness a rule violation, please notify your teacher ASAP to help us identify people involved, and you will remain anonymous.While we prefer to be notified in person, you can also email us at info@nakedinmotion.com. The instructor reserves the right to ask anyone to leave, and Naked in Motion management reserves the right to revoke further class privileges.___________Want to support theNaked!mission?Check out ourPatreon!For online live-streamed classes,Naked!instructional videos, and more, visitpatreon.com/nakedinmotion.

Naked in Motion®

Inner Alchemy

SEATTLE/PNW in-person classes

One page for all upcoming Naked! Yoga classes in Seattle and the surrounding Pacific Northwest.

All levels and genders welcome. Join us for a 75-minute Yoga &amp; Pilates class taught by our instructor, Willow. *ASL-Friendly! Willow has learned to sign along with her teaching to accommodate Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students.Everyone MUST be an active, willing participant and at least 18 years old. Please bring a valid photo ID for age verification. You will be required to enter an accurate date of birth upon registration.All events have a 24-hour cancellation policy, so if you cancel less than 24 hours before the event, you forfeit your payment. Unless the event is canceled, ALL EVENTBRITE FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE (even if you cancel your ticket more than 24 hours before class). Email us to transfer your ticket to another event to avoid paying the fee twice. For information about Eventbrite’s fees, <a href="https://www.eventbrite.ca/help/en-ca/articles/548304/is-the-eventbrite-fee-refundable-in-canada/" title="https://www.eventbrite.ca/help/en-ca/articles/548304/is-the-eventbrite-fee-refundable-in-canada/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">see this page</a>.Financial Assistance:<ul><li>Tickets purchased online are $30, but we set aside a limited number of discounted tickets for those who need financial accommodations. Please email info@nakedinmotion.com to request these tickets and let us know what you can pay (we won't be offended). </li><li>Students get $10 off a General Admission ticket. Email student@nakedinmotion.com for a discount code. You must present a valid student I.D. at the door for verification. </li><li>We no longer reserve tickets for anyone paying in cash. If you’d like to pay with cash, please arrive early to see if we have available spots. If the event is sold out, you still might get in if someone else doesn’t show up. Cash tickets are $40 (exact change) at the door, and you will still be required to register via the Eventbrite app to sign our waiver and provide required information.</li></ul> Philosophy:<ul><li>We use nudity to practice self-compassion and body acceptance while experiencing bodies as they are. Nudity is an essential part of the experience of Naked in Motion, but we acknowledge that nudity is not binary. To support our mission of equity and inclusion, we permit certain clothing and accessory items as described below.</li></ul>Defining Naked!<ul><li>Our definition of nudity is flexible in order to increase accessibility. For example, you may wear underwear to manage menstruation. Underwear is not required while menstruating, and it’s okay if tampon strings are visible. Additionally, participants may opt to use items such as underwear, binders, or prosthetics to manage trauma and/or gender dysphoria. These examples are not an exhaustive list, so if you need an accommodation, just talk to us</li><li>Nude spaces tend to have a majority of cisgender men in attendance, so our approach aims to lower barriers to participation for people of marginalized genders. Experiencing sexual harassment and objectification in everyday life can make it understandably more difficult to attend a nude event, and gender dysphoria can further add to this challenge. Accommodations aren’t meant to avoid the discomfort that can come with naked yoga, but to make the practice possible for folks who otherwise would not attend.</li><li>While the gender makeup of class is a sensitive issue, we aren’t trying to meet an arbitrary quota. Furthermore, you can’t determine someone’s gender identity by looking at them, and we want to provide a welcoming space for folks at all stages of transition. Experiencing safety in a nude environment amongst others can be life-changing, so your participation and cooperation have value well beyond our classes.</li></ul>Logistics:<ul><li>PLEASE REVIEW OUR NEW MAT POLICY: Everyone MUST bring their own mat and props (and we recommend a towel). We do not provide mats, and we no longer permit the use of studio mats or props. If you do not bring a suitable yoga/exercise mat, you may be turned away from class. For safety and sanitary reasons, using a towel on the floor is not permitted. If you aren't sure what counts as a suitable mat, email us and we can help.</li><li>Doors open a half hour prior to class start time.</li><li>Everyone is expected to be on time to hear the rules (even if you've heard them before). The instructor will close the entrance and place a sign on the door at the start of class. After this point, no further entry will be permitted, NO EXCEPTIONS, and we don't refund latecomers. Please DO NOT KNOCK or disrupt class in an attempt to gain late entry.</li></ul> STUDIO INFO:DO NOT GOOGLE INNER ALCHEMY; FOLLOW THIS ADDRESS:Inner Alchemy Sanctuary and Studio3618 SW Alaska Street (entrance on 37th Ave SW)Seattle, WA 98126Map applications may list the address as the American Legion Post 160 of West Seattle. This is correct, and Inner Alchemy Sanctuary and Studio is located on the lower level of the building with an Inner Alchemy sign to the right of the door. The entrance is on 37th Ave SW, *not* SW Alaska St.Accessibility: Unfortunately, this studio is not wheelchair accessible. Accessibility is a top priority for us, and we continue to do our best to find spaces that can accommodate everyone.Parking/Directions: Please arrive early to find street parking. COMMUNITY RULES:Please read the rest of our Community Rules below, and visit our <a href="https://www.nakedinmotion.com/faq" title="https://www.nakedinmotion.com/faq" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">FAQ page</a> for more information.Consent: All physical contact must be consensual. The instructor will place a red card on the floor in front of each person’s mat before class. Leave the card there to silently opt out of physical adjustments during class. Hide the card under your mat to opt in, and the instructor will still ask for verbal consent before offering touch assistance. Know your boundaries! You can change your mind at any time, and anything less than an enthusiastic “yes” means “no.” Our consent policy applies to all situations, including physical contact that may seem appropriate in a clothed setting (e.g., hugs, moving through a crowd), so ask for permission before touching anyone before, during, and after class, even while clothed.No Cruising: Please maintain the desexualized atmosphere of our classes. Nudity is not an invitation for personal advances. While our classes can build a sense of community, our goal is not to facilitate friendships. It’s okay to be friendly and chat with others, but we will prioritize individual safety over interpersonal relationships. Don’t ask to meet up with students or instructors outside of class or make personal invitations to other events. Also, please do not make comments about anyone’s body or appearance, including compliments that may seem benign (e.g., “your hair looks nice”). We’ll prioritize the experience of the recipient over the intention of a compliment, so err on the side of caution! This applies to live events and online platforms (e.g., Meetup, Patreon).Be Respectful: We welcome all adults who abide by our rules and treat others with respect and kindness. Body-shaming or hateful comments of any kind will not be tolerated. Be conscious of your gaze and how it may affect others. Mind the difference between “seeing” and “looking.” It’s inevitable to see other naked bodies, and it’s okay to look around if you get lost during the movement, but avoid intentionally looking at people outside of that.Cell Phones/Smartwatches: Cell phones are strictly prohibited while clothes are off, so please turn them OFF (not silent) and conceal them until the last person is clothed. You may use smartwatches for health reasons if necessary, but please refrain from texting during class.The Erection Question: Signs of arousal, such as erections, can be involuntary and not necessarily sexually inspired. If you have an erection during class, just ignore it and keep moving, or take a resting pose if you prefer. If you have an erection after class, please put on clothing before socializing with anyone. Any activities described as illicit, obscene, or sexual in nature are illegal and not permitted in our classes.No Latecomers: Everyone is expected to be on time to hear the rules (even if you've heard them before). The instructor will lock the entrance and/or place a sign on the door at the start of class. After this point, NO FURTHER ENTRY WILL BE PERMITTED, and we don't refund latecomers. Please do not knock or disrupt class in an attempt to gain late entry.No Lingering: Following the conclusion of class, please exit the premises in a reasonable amount of time as directed by the instructor. Do not wait to be alone with an instructor or student after class.Be Sober: Sobriety is mandatory. If you exhibit signs of intoxication, we may ask you to leave.Mats/Props: Everyone MUST bring their own mat and props (and we recommend a towel). We do not provide mats, and we no longer permit the use of studio mats or props. If you do not bring a suitable yoga/exercise mat, you may be turned away from class. For safety and sanitary reasons, using a towel on the floor is not permitted.If you experience or witness a rule violation, please notify a member of our team ASAP; you will remain anonymous. While we prefer to be notified in person to help us identify people involved, you can also email us. The instructor reserves the right to ask anyone to leave for any reason, and Naked in Motion management reserves the right to revoke further class privileges.Want to support the Naked! mission?
