Welcome to Naked Yoga Australia—a growing Perth-based community offering weekly in-person classes and transformative retreats. We’re here for more than just a stretch. We’re here to help you drop the armour, laugh a little, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your body, your breath, and each other.

Our space is rooted in community, self-acceptance, mindfulness, and respect. We believe yoga is for every kind of body and every kind of story. Whether you're here to explore stillness, build strength, or just feel more at home in your own skin, you're in the right place.

This is not about performance or perfection. It’s about showing up exactly as you are—fully, authentically, and unapologetically. And yes, we happen to be naked while doing it. For some, the nudity is the draw. For others, it quickly becomes incidental. Either way, it invites a kind of honesty and connection that’s hard to find elsewhere.

Please note: Our classes are currently open to men, non-binary men, and trans men only. (Sorry ladies—hang tight! We hope to have offerings for you soon.)

About Your Teacher – Eric Schwarz

Hi, I’m Eric (he/him), and I’m the founder and primary teacher at Naked Yoga Australia.

I’ve been guiding students through yoga for over 12 years, and this chapter began on a sun-soaked afternoon at Swanbourne nudist beach—one part yoga practice, one part social experiment. During the uncertainty of snap lockdowns, I found myself craving both stability and freedom. I asked myself—what if I taught the thing I love most, the way I love to do it? Naked. Honest. Connected.

My teaching style draws on years of dedicated practice and study with many incredible teachers, including time spent on pilgrimage in India. I’ve led international retreats across the world—from tropical beaches to forest sanctuaries—and what always stays with me is the power of honest, embodied presence in community.

By day, I work as a nurse. I believe that transformative social change happens from the ground up—through presence, connection, and care. Creating this space is part of my contribution to a world where we can live free of shame around our bodies and celebrate ourselves from the inside out.

Every class weaves together yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, and a touch of Buddhist philosophy. We explore real-life themes through movement and stillness, often grounded in personal stories, modern psychology, and ancient wisdom. With a background in behavioral science and a lived commitment to self-inquiry, I teach with heart, humor, and a deep respect for the inner lives of others.

Naked Yoga Australia is not a sexual space. We are clear about that from the outset. Students sign a code of conduct and quickly discover this is one of the most grounded, respectful, and welcoming environments they’ve encountered. It's a space where wrinkles, softness, scars, nerves, and laughter are all met with compassion.

My dream is for you to leave class feeling resourced—connected to yourself, grounded in your body, and a little bit more open to the mystery of life. I want you to walk away not just stretched out, but stretched inward: toward presence, kindness, and community.

Whether you're an experienced yogi, a curious first-timer, or someone who never thought they’d do this, you’re welcome here.
