Some archived Live-Streams working now!

Hi all,

A couple weeks ago I said some of the older archived Live-Streams stopped loading. I've gone through those and most of them are now in working order. However, live-streams from 2019 may not be available temporarily - when I make changes on the back-end, they temporarily disappear from Crowdcast for a couple weeks (apparently). So if you have had any issues logging into an older live-stream lately, try again and hopefully it should work. If you come across one that still isn't wo...

Bi-Weekly Update: Meet my self-criticism sock puppet

Hope you've all had a good weekend! Today's updates include my usual ramblings, my experience teaching my first class, dealing with insecurities, and a special cameo from my sock puppet, Petunia. Plus, birds are eating my window screen.

Updated Library + old stream glitch

Hi all,

As I've been cleaning out the library and picking which content will go into the limited library, I had a tech glitch with some of our old Crowdcast Live-Streams. Some of them (but not all) have been archived on their platform and aren't accessible. They are working to solve this problem and it should be ready by the end of the month, so if any old streams aren't loading, just pick a different one for now. 

I've added a "Limited Library" tag on all the content availab...

The Live-Stream tower makes a comeback

Hey y'all, 

The first picture is what I called my "Live-Stream tower"- when I first started teaching Live-Streams and didn't have a camera stand or a camera, I used to stack a bunch of crap on top of each other so the computer camera would be at the proper height. I posted this picture back then, too.

Then when I was getting Alyssa set up for her Live-Stream classes, she had done the same thing and I just thought it was funny (second picture). Her tower looks nicer than mine,...

NEW TIERS LIVE! Adjust your pledges accordingly

Hey patrons,

I have made the major changes needed to get set up for our new phase of Patreon content. If you're on the $5 tier, you can stay and access the new Limited Library and upcoming behind-the-scenes footage. To access the new Live-Stream classes, you must upgrade your pledge to one of these different tiers.

Today, I changed the billing schedule on Patreon to renew your pledge monthly on that same date on UTC. It used to be that no matter when you joined, e...

OMG MERCH FINALLY

Hey patrons,

I have avoided selling merch for a long time, mostly because I didn't need the extra paperwork. But as you saw, I special ordered shirts with our new logo for me and the other teachers to wear in the Beginner's Guide to Naked! Yoga Workshop, and they're so cute and comfortable that we wanted you to be able to wear them too. Seriously, the tanks and short sleeved shirts we wore feel like you're wearing nothing, so in those pesky situations where clothes are required, might a...

SURPRISE!

You heard it first! 

Newsletter coming out to the masses soon. Just starting slow in Seattle and hopefully taking some trips to the East Coast this year.

Just got these in the mail

New graphic logo for Naked in Motion! We're also getting a simpler one to use on sites where this much detail won't work, but I love this one for merch. Anyway, these are shirts for the teachers who will be in my Beginner's Guide video shoot. We start next Wednesday!

I'm a little nervous, but we'll get through it.

Let me know if y'all would want these for yourselves. I think I can sell merch through Patreon.

NiM's 7 year Anniversary + FUTURE PLANS

Hi Patrons,

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!

7 years ago today, Naked in Motion held its first Naked! Yoga class in NYC. A special shoutout to our clients who have been with us from day 1!

This message is going to our newsletters, but wanted to make sure it was on here, too.

A lot has changed since 2016, and I want to especially thank our Patrons who have continued to support the business through the low times. As many of you know, I took a sabbatical in May of last year due to cr...

a gift for the holidays...

the gift of knowledge...

that I will be returning to Naked in Motion!

Hi Patrons.
Thanks so much for your support during my much-needed sabbatical. I have recently decided what I want to do going forward with the business, and I am happy to say that I have a bunch of really cool ideas that I'm excited about. I'll give you more details in a few weeks with a more official video about what is to come, but just wanted y'all to hear it first.

I've been busy dealing with some o...

IMPORTANT CHANGES (EFFECTIVE APRIL 1, 2022)

Hi Patrons,

I wanted to get this information to you ASAP because it will affect tiers and pledges starting April 1. I will be posting a video announcement tomorrow on Youtube for everyone to hear about the details, and I'll definitely post that here first so you can have some more context.

For now, in short, I am going to be taking an extended leave of absence starting in April. I am struggling with what I  now recognize as burnout, and I nee...

Access to Naked! Advanced Beginner Yoga Live-Stream

Hi Patrons!

Join us for our Naked! Yoga OR Pilates Live-Stream, RESCHEDULED TO FRIDAY, February 25 at 10:00 AM PST. YOU VOTED, and we're doing a 60-minute Advanced Beginner Yoga class!

This is a Beginner class, but for those who aren't brand new. At this level, you've taken a few classes and are starting to  remember the names and shapes of the postures. If you're an absolute beginner, you'll probably still get a lot out of the class, but if ...

Space Setup for Partner class!

Hey y'all,

I'm getting set up for today's Partner Yoga Live-Stream. Just like last year, you'll need to arrange your space to have enough room for your mats to be facing each other with the short ends making contact. Sorry for the furniture rearrangement, but I promise it'll be worth it! Also, it'd be good to have blocks, a strap, towels, and/or pillows if you have them around.

See you soon!

YOUR CONTENT THIS MONTH

Hey y'all!

As mentioned on our Page, we're entering a new phase of Patreon content distribution so that I can deliver more new stuff while also making time for workshop development!

In August of 2021, I completely stopped producing  new content, instead taking things out of the library archives for each level proportional to each tier. Now, I'll be doing new Live-Stream classes on a monthly basis, but some other typical rewards will still come from the archiv...

YOUR CONTENT THIS MONTH

Hey y'all!

As is mentioned on our page, I've taken a break from creating brand new content for the next few months. I'm using this extra time for filming my Beginner's Guide to Naked! Yoga. Live-Streams will resume in the New Year.

INSTEAD, I will be taking specific content OUT OF THE LIBRARY for you to work on each month. While it may not be brand new, it'll likely be new for YOU! If you're already at the $49 level with Library access, ...
