Colby Lambertville

I currently teach nude yoga classes in Lambertville, NJ.  My website is: www.shankarastudio.net

I practiced yoga for a number of years in my 20s.  Then I fell away from my practice.  I took at job as an attorney and my partner and I adopted an infant.  I fell away from myself and my body.  I started yoga back up in 2009 with quite a bit of weight to lose and feeling very uncomfortable with my body.  Frankly, I’ve always struggled with my body – but the extra weight made matters worse.

I then decided I needed to do something solely for myself – I registered for the Braking AIDS Ride – a 300 mile ride from Boston to NYC to raise money for folks living with HIV/AIDS.  It was in this process – of giving – that I found I received the most.  It completely shifted my perspective.  I was grateful to have a yoga practice and amazing teachers along the way.  I became aware of the bigger picture.  I let go of a lot of things I was holding so tightly onto… the weight being merely one.

I got certified to teach yoga a few years after I had practiced regularly.  I immediately began teaching nude classes for men.  For me, it’s always been a sacred time.  I time to strip away the layers, literally and figuratively to get to explore my body, my spirit, my heart.  I’m feel so incrdibly lucky to have a community of amazing men around me.  We strip down.  We laugh.  We cry.  We celebrate one another.  We lift each other up.
