The Naked Yoga Effect: From Cancer Survivor to Naked Yoga Teacher

Doria is a yoga teacher located in London who offers clothed and naked yoga classes. In her book she describes her journey to becoming who she is; her trials, mistakes, perseverance in the face of cancer, and the healing and joyous properties of yoga. She describes basic yoga postures in easy-to-understand language. Doria provides pictures (naked) of postures she teaches. She describes the benefits of being a naturalist in general. There is nothing sexual in the pictures or content. If you are looking for sexual content, this is not the book for you. Doria writes about self care/love as only one who has been hurt can. Her book is about freedom. Doria offers online classes (clothed and unclothed), one-on-one coaching as well as 15 minute (clothed) question and answer sessions via Skype and/or Zoom. While I have not taken her classes (yet), I have chatted with her via Skype in a Q and A session.I highly recommend Doria's book to anyone interested in learning yoga (naked or not) at any level. She is a genuinely joyous person.

The media could not be loaded. This book gives an insight of one person's journey from hardship to achieving a goal. Along with giving hope, Doria gives you insights on her form of yoga and her get started part is worth the interest. Applying it to my Martial Arts training to get better with my core and to add insight to my balance as well. Worth the purchase and encourage others to do the same if they feel the same as well.

I bought this book as I recentlly became interested in Kundalini yoga to help with some health issues and I guess I thought this book would go more into detail as to the Authors health journey and overcoming Cancer.I felt that it was more of a personal Biography and her journey to become a Yoga Instructor and since I had never heard of her before,I just didn’t find it interesting.

Una storia vera, emozionante e a volte un pugno nello stomaco, ma sicuramente ti apre il cuore e il messaggio che lascia te lo ricordi come se fosse scolpito nella pietraSperiamo in un secondo libro!Grazie Doria Gani

This book has it all: A very moving story of strong bounce back after having to endure horrible experiences, the nature of yoga and the benefits of naturism. After reading it, everybody should understand how nudity does not equal sexuality at all and in how many ways it can be very beneficial. Topped is all that with beautiful pictures and a great introductory how to practice yoga. I highly recommend it, even to those who have never ever considered yoga or naturism before.

I've been a naturist for many years but finding Doria and practising yoga in her naked classes has introduced me to a new level of enjoying the sensation and sense of empowerment that abandoning clothes can bring. I've become more confident as I've watched my body become fitter, stronger, slimmer and more supple.The Naked Yoga Effect is a disarmingly honest account of Doria's journey, in which she battles with many horrendous difficulties and explains how she has triumphed over them. I commend this book to you, I am certain it will inspire you and help you to face and overcome your own.Oh, and along the way, I'm also pretty sure you'll be persuaded that practising naked yoga is wonderful and something you will want to do.

Mi piacciono le biografie, hanno il sapore della verità e insegnano a guardare da altri punti di vista. La storia di Doria è una storia di lotta per la vita, di coraggio a cambiare rotta, d’ispirazione a guardarsi meglio e scoprire tutta la bellezza che abbiamo dentro e sul nostro corpo.Perché naked yoga?… Why not?!

As someone who has be practicing yoga with Doria for about a year and a half it was interesting to go back and read her story and the see the path she took towards discovering naked yoga. Well written, informative often heart wrenching but filled with positivity. Comes with real life tips on how to be comfortable naked, self love and a well illustrated beginners guide to yoga. Doria has transformed my health and well being since being her student and it's great that her book can reach more people to consider yoga in the future. Well worth a read.
