Strip off for a naked mindfulness retreat in Palm Springs
Hit the mat with yoga and fitness instructor, Dan Carter.
If you're looking for inspiration for your travel plans, you might want to consider getting naked in Palm Springs.
Dan Carter is a yoga and fitness instructor and he's hosting a naked mindfulness retreat at INNdulge Palm Springs - the dates that you need for your diary are 26-30 September.
For the podcast, Naked Men Talking, we caught up with Dan for a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming retreat and life as a naked yoga instructor.
In the conversation we talk personal transformation, navigating sexual energy, and how yoga can help you have better sex.
“Men suffer silently while the media bombards us with idealized images of what our bodies should look like...” adds Jon Jackson - a co-owner of INNdulge. “It’s time men develop pride and a love for the skin they are in.”
Day 1: Thursday, 26 September
- Building Brotherhood
- This is a bonding session that will partner men up for yoga and initial core exercises followed with a happy hour and the resort's pool and whirlpool spa.
Day 2: Friday, 27 September
- A morning Yogalates session all about the butt as the men spend the morning toning up their thighs, glutes and lower back.
- In the afternoon, free time to enjoy the resort, explore the city, or enjoy activities such as golfing or hiking.
- An evening session of Slow, Flow & Meditation, followed by a barbecue.
Day 3: Saturday, 28 September
- The day will start with a naked hike in the desert.
- In the afternoon, local artist Saul Lyons will lead a nude drawing workshop.
Day 4: Sunday, 29 September
- A focus on sexual health, with yoga providing a gateway to learn about touch, feeling and intimacy.
- There will also be a Thai Massage workshop that helps men to get better acquainted with their bodies and the bodies of the other two dozen men in the class.
- The day will conclude with the Yoga for Gay Sexual Health workshop which combines movement, meditation and psychology with an intention to help men become more confident and happier lovers.
“All activities are optional, so men can enjoy the retreat at their own pace...” explains Dan. “It will also be a judgment-free weekend, meaning weight, fitness level, and anatomy size do not matter!”
